Timber structures - Product requirements for prefabricated structural members assembled with punched metal plate fasteners

This European Standard specifies material, product and documentation requirements for prefabricated structural members (e.g. trusses for roofs, walls and floors, frames, composite beams and girders) for use in buildings made from solid structural timber according to EN 14081-1 with or without finger joints assembled with punched metal plate fasteners. This document is valid for trusses with lengths up to 35 m and for other prefabricated structural members with spans up to 12 m. The standard also covers tests and/or calculation methods to carry out the evaluation of conformity, requirements for the marking of these members, and external conditions (service class 3 in accordance with EN 1995-1-1 or use classes 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with EN 335-1). As regards resistance to biological organisms, this standard covers prefabricated structural members manufactured from either untreated timber or timber treated to improve its natural durability. This standard does not cover prefabricated timber structural members intended to be used in constructions under predominantly dynamic loads (e.g. bridges) or for use in unprotected external conditions (i.e. use class 3 in accordance with EN 335-1). Furthermore, it does not cover members treated to improve their fire performance.

NOTE 1 This method is assumed to reflect Method 1 in Guidance Paper L. By this method the characteristic mechanical resistance is indirectly declared. It may be relevant for a structural member manufactured according to the manufacturer's specification and put on the market, e.g. on the retailer shelves, without necessarily knowing the works where the member is going to be used. b) Method 2: Directly, by calculating the characteristic values or design values for the load-bearing capacities and stiffness of the structural member according to the method(s) given in EN 1995-1-1 with possibly reference to the used sets of National Determined Parameters (NDPs), if any, valid in the Member State of the intended use of the structural member. NOTE 2 This method is assumed to reflect Method 2 in Guidance Paper L. By this method the characteristic mechanical resistance is directly declared. It may be relevant for a structural member manufactured according to the manufacturer's specification and put on the market without necessarily knowing the works where the member is going to be used, e.g. for catalogue products, like trussed beams. c) Method 3a: By declaring compliance with the given production documents of the structural member, together with the information on the purchaser and the party responsible for the structural design of the member.
NOTE 3 This method is assumed to reflect Method 3a in Guidance Paper L. By this method the characteristic mechanical resistance is indirectly declared. It may be relevant for a structural member made to measure according to the purchaser’s order. d) Method 3b: By declaring compliance with a given structural design specification of the structural member produced and held by the manufacturer showing that the member is able to resist all the relevant actions affecting it in the ultimate limit state and satisfies specified serviceability requirements in a specific part of works. Structural design specification of the member is based on information (e.g. actions and deflection limits) from a specific part of works according to the design requirements in the Member State of its intended use (EN 1990, EN 1991 and EN 1995-1-1), with possibly reference to the relevant National Annexes defining the National Determined Parameters/method(s) valid in the Member State of the intended use of the structural member. NOTE 4 This method is assumed to reflect Method 3b in Guidance Paper L. By this method the characteristic mechanical resistance is indirectly declared. It may be relevant for a structural member made to measure according to the structural design specification prepared by the manufacturer when the works where the member will be used is known.

either by applying EN 1995-1-1; or
by using the following minimum thickness requirement "b", in millimetres (mm), for the members:
kmflb,²8,1= where l is the overall length of the member, in metres (m); fm,k is the characteristic bending strength of the member, in Newtons per square millimetre (N/mm2).

5.4.9 Dead knots, knot holes or fissures Where a dead knot, knot hole, or fissure occurs within the anchorage area of the prefabricated timber structural member, the area of effective plate projections, disregarding those in the dead knot, knot hole or on the line of the fissure shall be in accordance with that specified in the design. Fissures which do not extend more than 50 mm from the tooth, burst or plate nail which apparently caused them, shall be disregarded. 5.4.10 Fastener positioning Fasteners used for the prefabricated timber structural member shall not be misplaced by more than the amount considered in the structural design and not more than 10 mm in any direction in relation to the design position.
