4 Testing of the resistance of fixings of sandwich panels to supporting
structures
4.1 General
4.1.1 Type of fixings and panel families
This document covers the resistance of fixing of panels to supporting structures and the failure modes
in the sandwich panel. It does not cover the failure of the fastener itself or failure of the fixing in the
supporting structure. Thus, the failure mode for tension is generally a pull-through failure of the visible
fixing and the failure mode of the hidden fixing a failure of the joint or of the load spreading plate (if
8

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 14509-4:2021
prEN 14509-4:2021 (E)
applicable). A pull-through failure is used as a common name for these failure modes. In addition, the
shear failure mode of fixing is covered by this document.
The types of fixing of panels to supporting structure covered by this document are:
— visible fixings;
— hidden fixings.
NOTE 1 Combinations of these fixing types are also possible.
For the fixing of panels to supporting structure, failure modes in supporting structure and fastener shall
be determined separately. However, they are outside the scope of this document.
The test series of a fixing may cover a family of the structural sandwich panel products and one fastener
type which is to be defined in the declaration of resistance values.
Panels with variation in the properties listed below can be included in the same family as long as the
panel with weakest combination of the properties is tested.
A family of panels is defined by:
— profiling:
— in the faces for visible fixings;
— in the longitudinal joint for hidden fixings;
— material and grade of face material;
— type of longitudinal joint;
— the same type of core material;
— panel thickness;
— thickness (inner and outer) of sheets;
— type and amount of adhesive.
One type or group of fasteners is defined by and shall be listed in connection to characteristics to be
expressed:
— material of fastener;
— a fastener whose length will vary;
— same number and position (edge distance and distance between fasteners when more than one
fastener is used) of fasteners;
— washer type and material;
— washer sealant;
— head diameter and type of head of the fastener:
— the thread of the fastener;
— the diameter of the shaft of the fastener;
9

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 14509-4:2021
prEN 14509-4:2021 (E)
— geometry and material type and grade of load spreading plate, if relevant.
The end distance and the distance between the fixings may be varied in the test series, which shall then
be taken into account in the analysis of the test results. In all the cases, the minimum edge distance
envisaged between the fixing and the edge of the panel shall be tested. The influence of the centre-to-
centre distance of the fixing shall be tested, when critical.
Tests have to be done for both static and cyclic loading for tensile resistance.
The series of the tests of the fixings give a set of test results for the determination of the characteristic
resistance. The test results shall be adjusted to correspond to the nominal strength of the material
components used in the sandwich panel.
Historical data can be used for declaration if the principles given in this clause are followed.
The values for the fixing to be expressed are based on resistance values in ultimate limit state (ULS)
only.
NOTE 2 To reduce the range of tests for visible fixings, it is possible to perform all the tests with flat or lightly
profiled faced sandwich panels of a panel family. It is also possible for visible fixings to do only tests on small scale
tests on only the sheet-material without the possible influence of the core bedding.
NOTE 3 Typically the end or edge distance in a test series correspond to either the minimum end distance used
in practice or the location of the fixing at an intermediate support. The fastener placed close to each other can have
interactions in the tensile resistance. Therefore, the influence of the centre-to-centre distance of the fastener needs
to be studied.
NOTE 4 If the EAD specification of a fixing has all the information for a fastening (e.g. visible fixing with screws),
within pull-through and pull-out resistance, shear resistance and max. relative displacement between the internal
and external face at the head of a fastener and material safety factor, then no additional tests are needed.
NOTE 5 Because of the complexity of the testing and calculation of the test results it is advised to have the tests
done by an experienced testing party and an experienced party for interpretation of the results.
If not otherwise specified for serviceability limit state, no notable plastic deformation is allowed.
4.1.2 Test reports
The test report shall contain:
— the description of the test specimen:
— thicknesses and grade of the face material;
— the type of core material and its reference;
— the thickness and the span of the panel and the test arrangements (2 or 3 supports);
— the description of the fixing including the material properties and geometry of the fixing part
(i.e. load distribution plate, etc.), the position and the number of fasteners;
— the distance between the end of the panel and the fastener;
— the detailed geometry of the longitudinal joint of the panel;
— the description of the test:
— the cycles used in the tests with maximum and minimum loads;
— the ultimate load;
10

— all other significant characteristics observed during the test;
— the load-deflection curves measured in the test;
— the identification of the test specimen;
— the mechanical characteristics of the metal sheet (measured thickness, tensile strength, yield
strength or 0,2 % strain limit, elongation after fracture) for the outer and inner face;

The result of the test is the resistance F .

4.2 Tensile resistance
4.2.1 General
The principal determination of the tensile resistance of a fixing point is introduced in 4.2.2 for visible
fixing, in 4.2.3 for hidden fixing with small-scale specimens and in 4.4 for hidden fixing with full- scale
specimens as follows:
1. The ultimate static tensile resistance is determined and a single test result is named as F (4.2.2.4.2,
obs
4.2.3.4 and 4.4.6).
2. The single test result is adjusted by determining the material properties from samples used in the
fixing tests in order to correspond to the results of expressed material properties. The adjusted
results are named as F (see 4.2.2.5, 4.2.3.5 and 4.4.6).
adj
3. The 5 %-fractile value is determined from the adjusted single test results F and is named as F .
adj Rtk
4. The cyclic loading has to be performed. The maximum load according to 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 in one cycle
has the value of k·F . To determine the value of k, see 4.2.2.4.3. For large scale testing F is the force
Rt
in fixing point corresponding to reference load Q for determining the maximum load in one cycle
(see Table 1). Q is representing the ultimate load divided by 2. The ultimate static failure load after
cyclic loading is tested.
5. The tensile resistance of the fixing for static and cyclic loading is F , which is determined on the
Rtk.rep
basis of k and F (see 4.2.2.5 and 4.4.6).
Rtk
NOTE Deteriorating effect of wind gusts on fixing resistance is covered by cyclic tests described in 4.2.2.4.3
and 4.4.5.1 or by the reduction factor 2/3 in 4.2.2.6.
4.2.2 Visible fixing
4.2.2.1 Principles
The tensile resistance of the visible fixing is defined as a pull-through failure mode in the panel face.
The amount of test for all cases shall be at least 3 tensile tests for the minimum and the maximum panel
thickness.
In order to get more reliable results, the amount should be preferably 5 tensile tests with static load for
each relevant outer face thickness t and grade of material, or for the weakest combination in each family
N
if known from previous tests.
The respective failure modes as well as the material properties of the panel face and core used in the
tests shall be measured and documented in the test report. It is important that the test specimens for
testing the material properties are from the same batch as the test specimens for the fixing.

4.2.2.3 Test specimen
The specimen consists of full panel width. The minimum length of specimen is specified in Figure 1.
Samples for fixing tests have to be taken together with the samples for determining the compression
strength of the core, thickness and tensile strength of the outer face.
4.2.2.4 Procedure
4.2.2.4.1 General
The ultimate resistance to static loading and cyclic loading is to be determined. The loading shall be
continued until failure and a load-deflection curve shall be drawn.
The tests shall be performed under normal laboratory conditions concerning the temperature and
humidity.
4.2.2.4.2 Static loading
The load or displacement shall be increased monotonically up to the ultimate load. The use of a
displacement-controlled testing machine is preferred. The loading rate shall be such as to result in a
12

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 14509-4:2021
prEN 14509-4:2021 (E)
failure between 3 min and 5 min after the commencement of the test. The local displacement at the fixing
shall be measured during the course of the test up to a point close to the maximum load.
NOTE The local tensile displacement in the fixing is defined as w = w1 - w2 (see Figures 1 and 3). As both the
displacement of the head of the fastener and the deflection of the sample are included in w , compensating with
1
the deflection of the specimen gives the net local displacement of the head of the fastener.
The ultimate failure load, the displacement and the mode of failure shall be recorded.
At least one static load test shall be carried out with repeated loading and unloading (at least 3 loads
and unloads up to 50 % of the ultimate load) before loading up to failure. Displacements shall be
measured and documented and shall show a stable behaviour (e.g. non-relevant increase of deflection)
comparable with the other static load tests.
The interaction at intermediate support between bending moment and support reaction shall be
determined as described in prEN 14509-3:2021, 4.8.
4.2.2.4.3 Cyclic loading
Cyclic loading tests shall be carried out in order to determine the resistance of the fixing after a cyclic
loading history. As a minimum three, but preferably five cyclic load tests shall be performed with a
number of cyclic loads of 5 000 cycles. In each cycle, the minimum and maximum loads are 0,1·F and
Rt
k·F , in which F is the mean tensile resistance determined in the static loading tests. A value of k = 0,5
Rt Rt
is recommended at the commencement of the tests, but may be adjusted if local failure or significant
increase of deformation occurs at an early stage. The cyclic loading frequency in the test shall not exceed
5 Hz. The ultimate static load is measured after the cycles.
The mean of the ultimate static load after the cyclic loading, F , shall be equal to or higher than
Rt,residual
1,3·k·F . If this condition is not fulfilled, k shall be decreased and the cyclic tests shall be repeated until
Rt
this is fulfilled.
4.2.2.5 Calculation and results
The recording and interpretation of the adjusted test results shall follow the rules in
prEN 14509-3:2021, 4.12. Out of the test results, the 5 % fractile characteristic values shall be
determined according to prEN 14509-3:2021, 4.12.2.
If the tests for the fixings are made with samples out of the same batch as for the previously assessed
panels for compression strength, the test results of fixings shall be adjusted using the expression:
Fadj = k1 Fobs (1)
If the tests are not from the same batch, or if the expressed value of compression strength is reduced
from previous expressed value, the test results of fixings shall be adjusted using the expression:

4.2.2.6 Alternative test method for tensile resistance of visible fixing
An alternative test method to that described above (4.2.2.1 to 4.2.2.5) is to test the tensile resistance of
visible fixing using a specimen without core. This test method can only be used when it gives a lowest
tensile resistance for visible fixing. The testing specimen consists of the relevant fastener and a strip of
the face material formed to trapezoidal shape (see Figure 2). The test is performed in a tensile test
equipment.
