Plywood - Calculation method for some mechanical properties

This European Standard specifies a calculation method for the estimation of some mechanical properties of plywood (strength and stiffness) with a symmetrical composition. The resulting values are intended as predictive only.

Sperrholz - Rechenverfahren für einige mechanische Eigenschaften

Diese Europäische Norm enthält ein Rechenverfahren für Sperrholzplatten mit beliebiger Zusammensetzung und mit symmetrischem oder nicht symmetrischem Aufbau zur Ableitung von sowohl einigen mechanischen Eigenschaften (Festigkeit und Steifigkeit bei Biegung, Zug, Druck, Schub/Scheren rechtwinklig zur Plattenebene und Schub/Scheren in Plattenebene) als auch der Rohdichte aus dem Holz, aus dem sich die Lagen zusammensetzen.
ANMERKUNG   Üblicherweise haben die Platten einen symmetrischen Aufbau; jedoch sind das Aussehen der Oberfläche der Vorderseite und das Aussehen der Oberfläche der Rückseite sehr oft unterschiedlich, daher bestehen Unterschiede bei den mechanischen Eigenschaften der jeweiligen Furniere. Deshalb ist in diesem Fall die Zusammen-setzung nicht mechanisch symmetrisch, und es ist ein von der Symmetrie unabhängiges Rechenverfahren erforderlich.
Unter der Voraussetzung, dass für die Lagen konstruktive charakteristische Werte angesetzt werden, können die sich für die Platten ergebenden Werte als charakteristische Werte entsprechend den Anforderungen von EN 1995-1-1 verwendet werden.
Demgegenüber sind in Anhang A die Verfahren zur Ableitung der Eigenschaften von Furnieren bei Biegung, Zug und Druck festgelegt, entweder durch Prüfen von Platten nach EN 789 und EN 1058 oder Prüfen von Bauholz nach EN 408 oder durch die Ableitung aus in EN 338 festgelegten Werten.
Anhang B enthält praktische Kalkulationstabellen, die Anwendungen der im Hauptteil dieser Norm angege-benen Gleichungen darstellen.
Im Anhang C ist ein Beispiel für die Berechnung der Biegefestigkeit nach Anhang B angegeben.

Contreplaqué - Méthode de calcul pour certaines caractéristiques mécaniques

La présente Norme européenne donne, pour des panneaux de contreplaqué de composition symétrique ou non symétrique, une méthode de calcul pour la détermination de certaines propriétés mécaniques (résistance et rigidité en flexion, traction, compression, cisaillement roulant et cisaillement de voile) ainsi que la masse volumique du bois composant les couches.
NOTE   En général, la composition des panneaux est symétrique mais, très souvent, il y a une différence entre l'aspect du parement et l'aspect du contreparement, d'où une différence entre les propriétés mécaniques des placages respectifs. En conséquence, dans ce cas, la composition n'est pas mécaniquement symétrique et une méthode de calcul indépendante de la symétrie est nécessaire.
Sous réserve que des valeurs caractéristiques structurales soient prises pour les couches, les valeurs résultantes pour les panneaux peuvent être utilisées comme des valeurs caractéristiques requises par l'EN 1995-1-1.
A l'inverse, l'Annexe A définit les modes opératoires pour déterminer les propriétés des placages, en flexion, traction et compression, à partir d’essais sur des panneaux conformément à l'EN 789 et à l'EN 1058, à partir d'essais effectués sur le bois conformément à l'EN 408, ou à partir de valeurs imposées spécifiées dans l'EN 338.
L'Annexe B fournit des feuilles de calcul pratiques qui sont des applications des formules indiquées dans la partie principale de la présente norme.
L'Annexe C fournit un exemple pour le calcul de la résistance en flexion, conformément à l'Annexe B.

Vezan les - Računske metode za nekatere mehanske lastnosti

Ta evropski standard podaja računske metode za vezan les vseh kompozicij, namenjene izpeljavi nekaterih mehanskih lastnosti (moč in togost pri upogibanju, napetost, tlačna obremenitev, strižni paneli in strižna deformacija) in gostote lesa, ki sestavlja plasti. Če se vrednosti konstrukcijskih značilnosti izmerijo na plasteh, je mogoče izračunane vrednosti za plošče uporabiti kot karakteristične vrednosti v skladu z zahtevami iz standarda EN 1995-1-1. Nasprotno dodatek A določa postopke za izpeljavo lastnosti furnirja na področju upogiba, napetosti in tlačne obremenitve iz preskušanja plošč v skladu s standardoma EN 789 in EN 1058, preskušanja lesa v skladu s standardom EN 408 ali predpisanih vrednosti iz standarda EN 338. Dodatek B podaja praktične preglednice, ki predstavljajo uporabe formul iz osnovnega dela tega standarda. V dodatku C je naveden primer izračuna upogibne trdnosti v skladu z dodatkom B.

SIST EN 14272:2012



EN 14272:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies, for plywood panels of any composition, symmetrical or not, a calculation method to derive some mechanical properties (strength and stiffness in bending, tension, compression, panel and planar shear) as well as density from the wood compounding the layers. NOTE Usually, the lay-up of the panels is symmetrical but, very often, the surface appearance of the face and the surface appearance of the back face differ, hence a difference between the mechanical properties of the respective veneers. Therefore, in this case, the composition is not mechanically symmetrical and a symmetry independent calculation method is needed.
Provided that structural characteristic values are taken for the layers, the resulting values for the panels can be used as characteristic values as required by EN 1995-1-1. Conversely, Annex A defines the procedures to derive the veneer properties, in bending, tension and compression, either from testing panels according to EN 789 and EN 1058 or from timber testing according to EN 408 or from imposed values defined in EN 338. Annex B provides practical spreadsheets, which are applications of the equations in the main part of this standard. Annex C provide an example for the calculation of bending strength, in accordance with Annex B. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 325, Wood-based panels — Determination of dimensions of test pieces EN 338:2009, Structural timber — Strength classes EN 384, Structural timber — Determination of characteristic values of mechanical properties and density EN 408, Timber structures — Structural timber and glued laminated timber — Determination of some physical and mechanical properties EN 789, Timber structures — Test methods — Determination of mechanical properties of wood based panels EN 1058, Wood-based panels — Determination of characteristic 5-percentile values and characteristic mean values EN 12369-2, Wood-based panels — Characteristic values for structural design — Part 2 Plywood EN 14358, Timber structures — Calculation of characteristic 5-percentile values and acceptance criteria for a sample 3 Principle Using the mechanical properties of the wood species, which compound the layers (in this standard referred to as veneer or basic values), it consists in deriving, by calculation, the mechanical properties of a panel.
For bending, tension and compression, each layer property value, along and across the length of the panel, is weighted by a geometrical factor related to its weight in the panel cross section.
SIST EN 14272:2012



EN 14272:2011 (E) 6 In this standard, where a value for a given property of the veneers is derived with a specified test method (including exploitation of the results), the models in this standard will provide a panel value for that property as if derived with the specified test method. EXAMPLE For instance, if, in a panel composition, a specified percentile of a bending property of veneers is determined with EN 789 and EN 1058, the calculated value of the bending property of the panel will be its specified percentile as if determined by using EN 789 and EN 1058. 4 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 4.1 characteristic strength population fifth percentile value relating to a temperature of 20 °C and a relative humidity of 65 % 4.2 characteristic stiffness either the population fifth percentile or the mean value relating to a temperature of 20 °C and a relative humidity of 65 % 4.3 characteristic density population fifth percentile value with mass and volume corresponding to equilibrium at a temperature of 20 °C and a relative humidity of 65 % either of the wood species or of the panels, single species or mixed species NOTE The density values found from calculation refer to the minimum acceptable density of veneers used in the lay-up of plywood. In the case of single species plywood these values are taken as the characteristic values for the plywood. In the case of mixed species plywood the characteristic value of density of the panel is calculated from the characteristic densities of the individual veneers according to the proportion of each species 4.4 veneer value or basic value characteristic value of a property to be used for each layer in the equations of the calculation method
NOTE Characteristic values of the wood species, along and across the grain, are fifth percentile values for strength but either mean values or fifth percentile values for stiffness (modulus of elasticity). 4.5 reference panel value value of a given mechanical property of a panel composition NOTE
It is to be used to derive the veneer value (or basic value) of the property.

The calculation method described in this standard can be applied to plywood panels of any composition, symmetrical or not. For the classification according to appearance classes of plywood, see EN 635-2 and EN 635-3. 6.2 Properties relevant to the calculation methods For calculation of characteristic values of mechanical properties for different plywood compositions, the values of the properties of the veneers compounding the layers shall be derived in accordance with Annex A. The relevant properties are as listed in Table 1. 6.3 Wood species For calculating the characteristic values of panel mechanical properties, test values shall be used where available for each wood species in the plywood panel composition; where not, imposed values from EN 338 shall be used. NOTE EN 338 values, related to the density of the wood species, are quite conservative and therefore should be used as a last resort option. 6.4 Factors for plywood composition The characterization of plywood composition is shown in Table 2. For the purposes of calculation, if two or more plies are glued together in the same grain direction, they can be considered as one single layer provided that they belong to the same wood species; otherwise they shall be considered as independent layers.

EN 14272:2011 (E) 11 7 Characteristic values for strength and stiffness in bending, tension and compression 7.1 General The properties of the panels are derived from those of their layers as if the panels were homogenous. The equations are based on strength of materials.
7.2 Bending 7.2.1 General The general equation to be used for the derivation of the second moment of area of a cross section is based on the area Ai of the elementary rectangles compounding the cross section of the panel: ∑∑====×+×=niiiiniiiitAzAI121212 (3) NOTE This equation can be applied to any composition, symmetrical or not. If calculation is based on a unit of width, Equation (3) becomes: ∑∑====+×=niiiniiiitztI131212 (4) 7.2.2 Modulus of elasticity The stiffness of the panel (as if homogenised) is equal to the sum of the stiffness of the compounding layers as defined by the following equation: ∑∑====×+××=×=×niiiminiiiimimmtVztVTEpIEp131231212 (5) 31131212×+×××=∑∑∑======niiiniiiminiiiimimttVztVEp (6) Width is assumed to be equal to 1 unit.
Cross layers properties can be taken into account where the values are derived from timber. Emi shall be input as 0 wherever the cross layers are not taken into account in the determination of the basic values as defined in Annex A. Annex B provide practical spreadsheets to carry out this calculation (see Tables B.1 and B.2).
7.2.3 Strength The capacity of the panel (as if homogenised) is equal to the sum of the capacities of the compounding layers as defined by the following equations: SIST EN 14272:2012

NOTE 1 However, Equation (8) should be preferred because it allows the use of the same procedure of calculation as Equation (6), the difference between Equations (6) and (8) lying in the factor of eccentricity of the neutral axis Ecc = T/2Ζ
to be applied on the result yielded by Equation (5). ZtZTEccniii×==∑==221 (10) Ζ is the distance (or eccentricity) of the neutral axis to either face or back face. Where composition is not symmetrical, the bigger value shall be picked so as to be on the safe side; it is expressed as: −=∑==niiaxiaxZtZZ1;max (11) NOTE 2 For symmetrical composition Ζ = T/2 and the calculation can be made using Equation (6) where Epm value is substituted by fmp value. For safety in the determination of the ultimate limit state, cross layers properties shall not be taken into account. Annex B provide practical spreadsheets to carry out this calculation (see Tables B.1 to B.4). 7.3 Tension and compression 7.3.1 Stiffness and capacity of the layers in the cross section The stiffness or capacity of the panel is given by: SIST EN 14272:2012

Cross layers properties can be taken into account for stiffness under the same conditions as for bending (see 7.2.2). Annex B provides a practical spreadsheet to carry out this calculation (see Tables B.5 to B.10). 7.4 Property values for layers 7.4.1 General These values are derived according to the methods specified in Annex A. A modification factor ka related to surface appearance of the face veneers shall be applied to the characteristic value of modulus of elasticity and of strength in accordance with Table 3.

Where the inner layers are not appearance graded, class 4 (ka = 0,75) shall be assumed.

7.4.3.2 Common procedure to bending, tension and compression Firstly, the 5th percentile value of the strength of the wood species of each layer is picked (in accordance with Annex A). Secondly, the stress level in the layer shall be derived prior to enter the stress value; though similar in principle, the procedure for tension-compression and bending differ slightly. Thirdly, in case of mixed species panels or of mixed grade single species panels, as the weaker layer(s) may fail before reaching the maximum load, the procedure of calculation shall be resumed. Once the first calculation is over, the weaker layer(s) and the corresponding panel strength is recorded in the relevant direction
