Glued-in rods in glued structural timber products - Testing, requirements and bond shear strength classification

This document specifies test methods for the determination of the suitability of two component epoxy and two component polyurethane adhesives for glued-in steel rods in glued laminated timber (GLT) and glued solid timber (GST) according to EN 14080, cross laminated timber (CLT) according to EN 16351 and laminated veneer lumber (LVL) according to EN 14374.
It specifies performance requirements and the determination of characteristic bond strength values for such adhesives for the prefabrication under factory or factory-like conditions of load-bearing timber-steel rod joints only. This document does not cover the performance of adhesives for on-site gluing (except for factory-like conditions).
Several provisions of this document can apply to repair and upgrading of existing timber structures including (cracked/fissured) solid wood beams. For adhesives for on-site repair or applications with solid timber additional provisions need to be taken into account. Such provisions are not part of this document.
This document also covers glued–in rods in surface treated wood. It does not cover glued-in rods in modified and stabilized wood with considerably reduced swelling and shrinkage properties, e.g. such as acetylated wood, heat treated wood, polymer impregnated wood and preservative treated wood.
The joints are intended for load-bearing timber structures subjected to temperatures up to 60 °C over a longer time in service classes 1 and 2 which are loaded predominantly static or quasi static according to EN 1990 and EN 1991-1-1.
A design procedure for glued-in rods for timber structures is given in an informative Annex A.

Eingeklebte Stangen in tragenden geklebten Holzprodukten - Prüfung, Anforderungen und Scherfestigkeitsklassifizierung

Dieses Dokument legt Prüfverfahren für die Bestimmung der Eignung von Zweikomponenten-Epoxid- und Zweikomponenten-Polyurethanklebstoffen für eingeklebte Stahlstangen in Brettschichtholz (GLT, en: glued laminated timber) und in verklebtem Vollholz (GST, en: glued solid timber) nach EN 14080, in Kreuzlagenholz (CLT, en: cross laminated timber) nach EN 16351 und in Furnierschichtholz (LVL, en: laminated veneer lumber) nach EN 14374 fest.
Es legt Leistungsanforderungen und die Bestimmung der charakteristischen Festigkeitswerte der Verklebung für solche Klebstoffe für die Vorfertigung von ausschließlich tragenden Verbindungen von Holz mit Stahlstangen unter Werksbedingungen oder werksähnlichen Bedingungen fest. Dieses Dokument deckt die Leistungsfähigkeit von Klebstoffen für das Kleben vor Ort (außer für werksähnliche Bedingungen) nicht ab.
Mehrere Bestimmungen dieses Dokuments können für die Reparatur und Nachrüstung bestehender Holzkonstruktionen gelten, einschließlich (gerissener/gespaltener) Vollholzbalken. Bei Klebstoffen für die Reparatur vor Ort oder Anwendungen mit Vollholz sind zusätzliche Bestimmungen zu beachten. Derartige Bestimmungen sind nicht Teil dieses Dokuments.
Dieses Dokument deckt außerdem in oberflächenbehandeltes Holz eingeklebte Stangen ab. Nicht abgedeckt sind eingeklebte Stangen in modifiziertem und stabilisiertem Holz mit deutlich verringerten Quellungs- und Schwindungseigenschaften, wie z. B. acetyliertes Holz, wärmebehandeltes Holz, polymerimprägniertes Holz und mit Konservierungsmitteln behandeltes Holz.
Die Verbindungen sind für tragende Holzkonstruktionen vorgesehen, die in den Nutzungsklassen 1 und 2 über einen längeren Zeitraum Temperaturen bis zu 60 °C ausgesetzt sind und die überwiegend statisch oder quasistatisch nach EN 1990 und EN 1991 1 1 belastet werden.
Ein Auslegungsverfahren für eingeklebte Stangen für Holzkonstruktionen ist in einem informativen Anhang A aufgeführt.

Goujons collés dans les produits en bois de structure collé - Essais, exigences et classification de la résistance au cisaillement du joint

Le présent document spécifie des méthodes d’essai visant à déterminer l’aptitude à l’emploi des adhésifs bicomposants époxydiques et polyuréthanes pour les goujons en acier collés dans du bois lamellé collé (GLT) et du bois massif reconstitué (GST) selon l’EN 14080, dans du bois lamellé croisé (CLT) selon l’EN 16351 et dans du lamibois (LVL) selon l’EN 14374.
Il spécifie les exigences de performance et la détermination des valeurs caractéristiques de résistance du joint pour ces adhésifs, uniquement pour ce qui concerne la préfabrication en conditions d’usine ou dans des conditions similaires aux conditions d’usine des assemblages entre éléments porteurs en bois et goujons en acier. Le présent document ne couvre pas les performances des adhésifs pour le collage sur site (à l’exception des conditions similaires aux conditions d’usine).
Plusieurs dispositions du présent document peuvent s’appliquer à la réparation et à la remise en état de structures en bois existantes, y compris de poutres en bois massif (fissurées). S’agissant des adhésifs destinés aux réparations sur site ou à des applications avec bois massif, des dispositions supplémentaires doivent être prises en compte. Ces dispositions ne figurent pas dans le présent document.
Le présent document traite également des goujons collés dans du bois ayant reçu un traitement de surface. Il ne couvre pas les goujons collés dans les bois modifiés et stabilisés ayant des propriétés de retrait et de gonflement fortement réduites, par exemple les bois acétylés, les bois traités thermiquement, les bois imprégnés de polymère et les bois traités avec un produit de préservation.
Les assemblages sont destinés à des structures portantes en bois soumises à des températures pouvant atteindre 60 °C sur une durée prolongée dans les classes de service 1 et 2, qui sont soumises à des charges essentiellement statiques ou quasi-statiques selon l’EN 1990 et l’EN 1991-1-1.
Une méthode de calcul pour les goujons collés destinés aux structures en bois est décrite dans l’Annexe A, informative.

1 Scope
This document specifies test methods for the determination of the suitability of two component epoxy
and two component polyurethane adhesives for glued-in steel rods in glued laminated timber (GLT) and
glued solid timber (GST) according to EN 14080, cross laminated timber (CLT) according to EN 16351
and laminated veneer lumber (LVL) according to EN 14374.
NOTE 1 The English term “glued-in rods” has been chosen as the established term instead of “bonded-in rods”.
It specifies performance requirements and the determination of characteristic bond strength values for
such adhesives for the prefabrication under factory or factory-like conditions of joints between load-
bearing timber products and steel rods only. This document does not cover the performance of adhesives
for on-site gluing (except for factory-like conditions).
NOTE 2 Factory like conditions provide shelter from direct weathering and dirt, prevent undue movement of the
joints during curing of the adhesive and provide temperature and relative humidity conditions and control as in
factory production environment.
This document also covers glued–in rods in surface treated wood. It does not cover glued-in rods in
modified and stabilized wood with considerably reduced swelling and shrinkage properties, e.g.
acetylated wood, heat treated wood, polymer impregnated wood and preservative treated wood.
The joints are intended for load-bearing timber structures in service classes 1 and 2 according to
EN 1995-1-1 which are loaded predominantly static or quasi static according to EN 1990 and
EN 1991-1-1. The joints are intended for load-bearing timber structures which are not subjected to a
prolonged exposure to temperatures over 60 °C.
A design procedure for glued-in rods in glued structural timber products is given in the informative
Annex A.
NOTE 3 Several provisions of this document can apply to in situ repair and upgrading of existing timber
structures including (cracked/fissured) solid wood beams. For adhesives for glued-in rods used in on-site repair or
applications with solid timber additional provisions apply, e.g. related to rheology and site temperature conditions.
Such provisions are not part of this document.

European foreword
This document (prEN 17334:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 193
“Adhesives”, the secretariat of which is held by UNE.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.

1 Scope
This document specifies test methods for the determination of the suitability of two component epoxy
and two component polyurethane adhesives for glued-in steel rods in glued laminated timber (GLT) and
glued solid timber (GST) according to EN 14080, cross laminated timber (CLT) according to EN 16351
and laminated veneer lumber (LVL) according to EN 14374.
It specifies performance requirements and the determination of characteristic bond strength values for
such adhesives for the prefabrication under factory or factory-like conditions of load-bearing timber-
steel rod joints only. This document does not cover the performance of adhesives for on-site gluing
(except for factory-like conditions).
Several provisions of this document can apply to repair and upgrading of existing timber structures
including (cracked/fissured) solid wood beams. For adhesives for on-site repair or applications with
solid timber additional provisions need to be taken into account. Such provisions are not part of this
document.
This document also covers glued–in rods in surface treated wood. It does not cover glued-in rods in
modified and stabilized wood with considerably reduced swelling and shrinkage properties, e.g. such as
acetylated wood, heat treated wood, polymer impregnated wood and preservative treated wood.
The joints are intended for load-bearing timber structures subjected to temperatures up to 60 °C over a
longer time in service classes 1 and 2 which are loaded predominantly static or quasi static according to
EN 1990 and EN 1991-1-1.
A design procedure for glued-in rods for timber structures is given in an informative Annex A.
