Structural timber - Determination of characteristic values of mechanical properties and density

This standard gives a method for determining characteristic values of mechanical properties and density, for defined populations of visual grades and/or mechanical strength classes of sawn timber. Additionally it covers the stages of sampling, testing, analysis and presentation of the data.
A method is also given for checking the strength of a timber population against its designated value.
The values determined in accordance with this standard for mechanical properties and density are suitable for assigning grades and species to the strength classes of EN 338.
NOTE 1   For assigning grades and species to the strength classes in EN 338 only three characteristic values, i.e. bending or tension strength, mean modulus of elasticity parallel to grain in bending or tension and density need to be determined, other properties can be calculated according to Tab. 6.2.
NOTE 2   EN 1912 gives examples of established visual grades assigned to strength classes.

Bauholz für tragende Zwecke - Bestimmung charakteristischer Werte für mechanische Eigenschaften und Rohdichte

Diese Norm legt fest, wie charakteristische Werte für mechanische Eigenschaften und Rohdichtewerte von definierten Holzgrundgesamtheiten visueller Sortierklassen und/oder mechanischer Festigkeitsklassen von Schnittholz zu bestimmen sind. Zusätzlich umfasst die Norm die Stufen von Probenahme, Prüfung, Analyse und Darstellung der Daten.
Außerdem wird ein Verfahren zur Überprüfung der Festigkeitswerte einer Grundgesamtheit von Bauholz zum Vergleich mit vorgegebenen Festigkeitswerten angegeben.
Die nach dieser Norm bestimmten mechanischen Eigenschaften und Rohdichtewerte sind für die Zuordnung der Holzarten und Sortierklassen in die Festigkeitsklassen nach EN 338 geeignet.
ANMERKUNG 1   Für die Zuordnung der Holzarten und Sortierklassen in die Festigkeitsklassen nach EN 338 ist die Bestimmung von nur drei charakteristischen Werten, d. h. Biege- oder Zugfestigkeit, Mittelwert des Biege- oder Zug-Elastizitätsmoduls in Faserrichtung und die Rohdichte erforderlich; die sonstigen Eigenschaften können nach der Tabelle in 6.2 berechnet werden.
ANMERKUNG 2   EN 1912 gibt Beispiele für die Zuordnung von bestehenden visuellen Sortierklassen zu Festigkeits-klassen.

Bois de structure - Détermination des valeurs caractéristiques des propriétés mécaniques et de la masse volumique

La présente norme fournit une méthode permettant de déterminer des valeurs caractéristiques des propriétés mécaniques et de la masse volumique, pour des populations définies de bois sciés classés en résistance visuellement et/ou mécaniquement. Elle couvre également les étapes relatives à l'échantillonnage, aux essais, à l'analyse et à la présentation des données.
Une méthode permettant de vérifier la résistance d'une population de bois par rapport à une valeur spécifiée est également fournie.
Les valeurs des propriétés mécaniques et de la masse volumique déterminées conformément à la présente norme permettent d'affecter des classes et des essences aux classes de résistance de l'EN 338.
NOTE 1   Pour l'affectation des classes et des essences aux classes de résistance de l'EN 338, il suffit de déterminer trois valeurs caractéristiques, à savoir la résistance à la flexion ou à la traction, le module d'élasticité moyen en flexion ou en traction axiale et la masse volumique ; d'autres propriétés peuvent être calculées conformément au Tableau 6.2.
NOTE 2   L'EN 1912 fournit des exemples d'affectation de classes visuelles établies à des classes de résistance.

EN 384:2016 (E) 3 European foreword This document (EN 384:2016) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 124 “Timber structures”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2017, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2017. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 384:2010. Compared to EN 384:2010, the following modifications have been made: — the definitions have been revised; — the adjustments of test results to the reference moisture content are presented as equations; — the equations for determining other properties from properties derived by testing have been changed; — regarding the determination of 5 %-percentiles the standard has been adopted to the revised EN 14358; — the procedure for verification of a lot has been transferred to EN 14358. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. SIST EN 384:2016



EN 384:2016 (E) 4 Introduction Structural design codes can only function effectively if standard methods of determining the mechanical and physical properties exist. The aim of the procedures given in this standard is to derive characteristic values that are comparable in terms of the populations they represent. The standard permits the use of as much existing test data as possible from various sampling and testing techniques. Where methods are given to permit characteristic values to be determined from a less than ideal amount of structural size test data, reduction factors to reflect a lower degree of confidence are employed. SIST EN 384:2016



EN 384:2016 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard gives a method for determining characteristic values of mechanical properties and density, for defined populations of visual grades and/or strength classes of machine graded structural timber. Additionally it covers the stages of sampling, testing, analysis and presentation of the data. The standard provides methods to derive strength, stiffness and density properties for structural timber from tests with defect-free specimen. The values determined in accordance with this standard for mechanical properties and density are suitable for assigning grades and species to the strength classes of EN 338. NOTE 1 For assigning grades and species to the strength classes in EN 338 only three properties, i.e. bending or tension strength, modulus of elasticity parallel to grain in bending or tension and density need to be determined from test data, other properties can be calculated according to Table 2. NOTE 2 EN 1912 gives examples of established visual grades assigned to strength classes. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

This shall be the major influence in determining the number and size of samples.

For visual grading, each sub-sample shall consist of at least 40 specimens and be of one source.
