Methods of test for ancillary components for masonry - Part 7: Determination of shear load capacity and load displacement characteristics of shear ties and slip ties (couplet test for mortar joint connections)

This European Standard specifies the couplet method for determining the horizontal and vertical shear load resistance and load-deflection behaviour of shear ties and slip ties embedded in mortar joints. The test is intended for ties for connecting together two leaves of masonry forming a collar jointed wall or two walls at right angles. It also applies to ties used for connecting the edges of infill
panel walls to frames which encircle them.

Prüfverfahren für Ergänzungsbauteile für Mauerwerk - Teil 7: Bestimmung der Schubtragfähigkeit und der Steifigkeit von Mauerverbindern (Steinpaar-Prüfung in Mörtelfugen)

Diese Europäische Norm legt das Steinpaar-Verfahren zur Bestimmung der horizontalen und vertikalen Schubtragfähigkeit und des Durchbiegungsverhaltens von in Mörtelfugen eingebetteten Schub- und Gleitankern unter Last fest. Die Prüfung ist für Anker vorgesehen, die zwei Mauerwerksschalen einer zweischaligen Mauerwerkswand mit Längsfuge oder zwei rechtwinklig zueinander stehende Wände verbinden. Sie ist auch für Anker anwendbar, die zur Verbindung der Kanten von Füllwänden mit Rahmenkonstruktionen verwendet werden.

Méthodes d'essai des composants accessoires de maçonnerie - Partie 7: Détermination de la charge admissible au cisaillement et des caractéristiques effort-déformation des attaches résistant au cisaillement et des attaches de glissement (essai dans un joint de mortier entre deux éléments)

La présente Norme européenne spécifie la méthode d'essai pour la détermination de la charge admissible au cisaillement horizontal et vertical et du comportement effort/déformation d'attaches résistantes au cisaillement et au glissement ancrées dans des joints de mortier. Cet essai est conçu pour des attaches prévues pour relier deux parois parallèles de maçonnerie ou deux murs perpendiculaires. Il s'applique également à des attaches utilisées pour relier les bords de murs de remplissage aux cadres ou aux ossatures qui les entourent.

Metode preskušanja dodatnih komponent zidovine - 7. del: Ugotavljanje strižne nosilnosti in lastnosti sila-pomik zidnih veznih stremen, obremenjenih na strig in zdrs (preskus v malti med dvema zidakoma)

Ta evropski standard določa metodo z dvema zidakoma za ugotavljanje vodoravne in navpične strižne odpornosti ter lastnosti sila-pomik zidnih veznih stremen, obremenjenih na strig in zdrs, v malti med dvema zidakoma. Preskus je namenjen za vezna stremena za povezavo dveh slojev zidovine, ki tvorita spojeni zid ali dva zida pod pravimi koti. Uporablja se tudi za vezna stremena, ki so namenjena za povezavo robov panelnih zidov z okvirji, ki jih obkrožajo.

3 Principle
One end of the tie is embedded in a mortar joint, typical of the type for which the tie is specified,
between a pair (couplet) of typical masonry units. The tie is then clamped at its free end and
subjected to shear against a reactive support for the couplet. Slip ties may be tested by the same
method.
NOTE The method measures the capacity of the tie alone and does not measure the contribution to the total
shear re
