Finger jointed structural timber - Performance requirements and minimum production requirements

This standard specifies requirements for bonded finger joints and minimum requirements for the manufacture of cut, interlocking, bonded finger joints in structural timber members. Requirements are given for timber, adhesive, moisture content, cutting and bonding.
This standard is only applicable to finger joints between timber members of the same species type.
Although most finger joints are produced in coniferous species this standard also applies to broad-leaved species where information is available to enable them to be satisfactorily bonded.
It does not cover impressed (die-formed) joints. In the case of glued laminated timber it applies only to individual laminations. Large finger joints in glued laminated timber are covered by EN 387.
NOTE   This standard is elaborated as a supporting standard for a harmononized standard on structural timber with finger joints to be published in the future.

Keilzinkenverbindungen im Bauholz - Leistungsanforderungen und Mindestanforderungen an die Herstellung

Diese Norm enthält Anforderungen an verklebter Keilzinkenverbindungen und Mindestanforderungen an die Herstellung gefräster, ineinandergefügter und verklebte Keilzinkenverbindungen in Bauholz für tragende Zwecke. Die Anforderungen betreffen das Holz, den Klebstoff, die Holzfeuchte, das Fräsen, die Verklebung und die Behandlung mit Holz- und Flammschutzmitteln.
Diese Norm gilt nur für Keilzinkenverbindungen in Holzbauteilen derselben Holzart.
Obwohl die meisten Keilzinkenverbindungen aus Nadelholzarten hergestellt werden, gilt diese Norm auch für Laubholzarten, sofern Angaben über Anforderungen, die eine zufrieden stellende Verklebung ergeben, vorliegen.
Verbindungen, deren Zinken durch Pressverformung hergestellt werden, sind in dieser Norm nicht berücksichtigt. Die Norm bezieht sich nur auf Einzellamellen von Brettschichtholz. Universal-Keilzinkenverbindungen in Brett-schichtholz sind in EN 387 enthalten.
ANMERKUNG   Diese Norm wurde als ?unterstützende Norm" für eine harmonisierte Norm für Keilzinkenverbindungen im Bauholz, die zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt veröffentlicht werden soll, erarbeitet.

Aboutages a entures multiples dans les bois de construction - Exigences de performance et exigences minimales de fabrication

La présente norme définit des exigences pour les aboutages a entures multiples collés et les exigences minimales pour l'usinage et l'emboîtement des aboutages a entures multiples collés dans les éléments de bois de structure. Les exigences concernent le bois, les adhésifs, la teneur en humidité, l'usinage, l'encollage et les traitements de préservation.
La présente norme s'applique uniquement aux aboutages a entures multiples entre les membrures en bois de meme type d'essence.
Bien que la plupart des aboutages a entures multiples soit produite avec des essences résineuses, la présente norme s'applique aussi aux feuillus, si des informations sont disponibles pour leur permettre de réaliser des assemblages collés satisfaisants.
Elle ne concerne pas les aboutages matricés. Dans le cas de bois lamellés collés, elle s'applique exclusivement aux lamelles individuelles. Les aboutages a entures multiples de grandes dimensions dans les bois lamellés collés sont couverts par l'EN 387.
NOTE   La présente norme est élaborée en tant que support a une norme harmonisée sur les bois de structure avec aboutages a entures multiples, qui sera publiée dans l'avenir.

EN 385:2001 (E)3ForewordThis European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 124 "Timber structures", thesecretariat of which is held by DS.This European Standard supersedes EN 385:1995.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text orby endorsement, at the latest by April 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest byApril 2002.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the followingcountries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden,Switzerland and the United Kingdom.SIST EN 385:2002



EN 385:2001 (E)4IntroductionThis standard was written based on Recommended Standard for Finger Jointing in Coniferous Sawn Timber preparedby the ECE (Economic Commission of Europe) Timber Committee and published in the Timber Bulletin for Europe(Vol. XXXIV, Supplement 16, November 1982) with Draft Amendments, May 1988. This standard was developed onthe basis of the use of European redwood and whitewood, but most of the requirements apply to any species.Further, it was recognized that finger-jointing standards are currently in use in different countries and experience withthese has influenced this standard.1 ScopeThis standard specifies requirements for bonded finger joints and minimum requirements for the manufacture of cut,interlocking, bonded finger joints in structural timber members. Requirements are given for timber, adhesive, moisturecontent, cutting and bonding.This standard is only applicable to finger joints between timber members of the same species type.Although most finger joints are produced in coniferous species this standard also applies to broad-leaved specieswhere information is available to enable them to be satisfactorily bonded.It does not cover impressed (die-formed) joints. In the case of glued laminated timber it applies only to individuallaminations. Large finger joints in glued laminated timber are covered by EN 387.NOTE
This standard is elaborated as a supporting standard for a harmonized standard on structural timber with finger joints to bepublished in the future.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of thepublication referred to applies (including amendments).EN 301, Adhesives, phenolic and aminoplastic for load-bearing timber structures - Classification andperformance requirements.EN 408, Timber structures – Structural timber and glued laminated timber – Determination of somephysical and mechanical properties.3 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply:3.1finger jointself-locating end joint formed by machining a number of similar, tapered, symmetrical fingers in the ends of timbermembers, which are then bonded together.

EN 385:2001 (E)75.2 Timber5.2.1 SpeciesSufficient information on the timber species shall be available to enable the timber to be satisfactorily bonded.5.2.2 Knots and fissuresFor the following requirements knots with a diameter not greater than 6 mm shall be disregarded.There shall be no knots, fissures or pronounced grain disturbance within the joint itself. Outside the joint thedistance between a knot and the end of the cross-cut timber shall be not less than l + 3d where d is the diameter ofthe knot measured perpendicular to the grain direction (longitudinal direction), see Figure 2.Figure 2 - Minimum distance from the end of the timber to a knotWhere a member is cross-cut to remove a knot, the cut shall be made at a distance from the knot at least equal to alength of 3d, see Figure 3.Figure 3 - Minimum distance for a cross-cut to remove a knot5.2.3 Wane or edge damageThere shall be no wane or edge damage affecting more than two corners at the joint within the finger length and within75 mm of the root of the fingers. The area of the wane at any corner shall not exceed 1 % of the cross-sectional area,see Figure 4.NOTE
Conformity with this requirement can be verified by measuring the diagonal aw of the wane and demonstrating that it is lessthan the maximum diagonal given in figure 5 as a function of the cross-sectional area A.SIST EN 385:2002

Or, for structures in service class 1 or 2 an adhesive of type II according toEN 301 can be used, provided the temperature of the member in the structure will always be below 50 C.NOTE 1
The adhesive should be chosen considering the climatic conditions in service, the timber species, the preservative used(if any) and the production methods.NOTE 2
Such strength and durability can be achieved by a polycondensation adhesive of the phenolic or aminoplastic type asdefined in EN 301.For adhesives of other
