Timber structures - Determination of characteristic values of mechanical properties and density

This European Standard gives a method for determining characteristic values of mechanical properties and density, for defined populations of visual and/or mechanical strength grades of sawn timber. A method is also given for checking the strength of a timber sample 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.

Bauholz für tragende Zwecke - Bestimmung charakteristischen festigkeits-, Steifigkeits- und Rohdichtewerte

Diese Europäische Norm legt fest, wie charakteristische Werte für mechanische Eigenschaften und Rohdichtewerte von Schnittholz definierter Grundgesamtheiten von visuell und/oder maschinell nach der Festigkeit sortierte Sortierklassen zu bestimmen sind.
Außerdem wird ein Verfahren zur Überprüfung der Festigkeitswerte einer Probe zum Vergleich mit genormten Festigkeitswerten angegeben.
Die nach dieser Norm bestimmten mechanischen Eigenschaften und Rohdichtewerte sind für die Zuordnung der Holzarten und -klassen in die Festigkeitsklassen nach EN 338 geeignet.
ANMERKUNG 1   Für die Zuordnung der Holzarten und -klassen in die Festigkeitsklassen nach EN 338 ist die Bestimmung von nur drei charakteristischen Werten, d. h. Biegefestigkeit, Mittelwert des Elastizitätsmoduls, parallel zur Faserrichtung, und Rohdichte, erforderlich. Die übrigen Eigenschaften dürfen der in EN 338 angegebenen Tabelle entnommen werden.
ANMERKUNG 2   EN 1912 gibt Beispiele für die Zuordnung von Festigkeitsklassen von bewährten nationalen und regionalen visuellen Sortiergraden.

Structures en bois - 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 de bois définies de classe visuelle et/ou de
résistance mécanique.
Une méthode permettant de vérifier la résistance d’un échantillon de bois par rapport à une valeur spécifiée
est également indiquée.
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 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, le module d’élasticité moyen parallèle au grain, ainsi que
la masse volumique ; d’autres propriétés peuvent être extraites du tableau de l’EN 338.

Konstrukcijski les - Ugotavljanje značilnih vrednosti mehanskih lastnosti in gostote

Ta evropski standard podaja metodo za določevanje značilnih vrednostih mehanskih lastnosti in gostote za določeno populacijo razredov na podlagi vizualnega in/ali mehanskega razvrščanja v razrede trdnosti rezanega lesa. Metoda je prav tako podana za preverjanje trdnosti vzorca lesa z njegovo določeno vrednostjo. Vrednosti, določene v skladu s tem standardom za mehanske lastnosti in gostoto, so primerne za označevanje razredov in vrst za razrede trdnosti iz EN 338.

EN 384:2010 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 384:2010) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 124 “Timber structures”, the secretariat of which is held by SFS. 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 October 2010, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2010. 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 384:2004. 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, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

EN 384:2010 (E) 4 Introduction In this revised edition, changes have been made to the equations giving the relativities between properties in 6.2.1, and the method of calculating the 5-percentile density. Also, the verification requirements in Clause 9 have been rewritten.
Structural codes can only function effectively if standard methods of determining the mechanical and physical properties exist.
Whilst total accuracy of characteristic values for any defined population is an aim, it is recognized that this is not achievable. A major aim of the procedures given in this standard is to produce characteristic values that are comparable in terms of the populations they represent. It is also important that 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 or from small, clear, defect-free specimen test data, reduction factors to reflect a lower degree of confidence are employed.
This standard covers the stages of population definition, sampling, testing and analysis and presentation of data in the determination of characteristic values. SIST EN 384:2010



EN 384:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard gives a method for determining characteristic values of mechanical properties and density, for defined populations of visual and/or mechanical strength grades of sawn timber.
A method is also given for checking the strength of a timber sample 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 strength, mean modulus of elasticity parallel to grain and density, need to be determined, other properties may be taken from the table in EN 338. NOTE 2 EN 1912 gives examples of assignment to strength classes of established national or regional visual grades. 2 Normative references

EN 384:2010 (E) 8 The test material shall be representative of the population. It shall represent the timber source, sizes, and quality that will be graded in production. Each sample shall be from one source. NOTE 1 For the derivation of settings for grading machines additional sampling requirements are given in EN 14081-2. Any known or suspected difference in the mechanical properties of the population distribution due to growth regions, sawmills, tree size or method of conversion shall be represented within the number of samples selected, by a similar proportion to their frequency in the population.
NOTE 2 The above should be the major influence in determining the number and size of samples. The number of specimens in each sample shall be not less than 40.
NOTE 3 Where samples are small and/or few in number the characteristic values will be penalized, see 5.4.
The cross section size of specimens shall be the same within a sample, but different for other samples, except where the test data are to be used to determine settings for a grading machine that measures size as part of its operation (see EN 14081-2). The number of sizes shall reflect the range of sizes to which the grading rules are applicable.
Test specimens for shear, tension perpendicular to grain and compression perpendicular to grain strengths are comparatively small and therefore shall be free of strength reducing characteri
