AS/NZS ISO 10984.2:2015 PDF Download

AS/NZS ISO 10984.2:2015 is a standard that adopts the ISO 10984-2:2009 to provide laboratory methods for determining the embedding strength of various types of timber structures using dowel-type fasteners. The standard applies to solid timber, glued laminated timber, and wood-based sheet products.

The purpose of this standard is to establish standardized procedures for testing the embedding strength of these timber structures. The embedding strength refers to the ability of the fasteners to resist the forces applied perpendicular to their axis when embedded in the timber.

By following the laboratory methods outlined in this standard, users can accurately determine the embedding strength of different types of timber structures. This information can be useful for designing and evaluating the structural performance of timber components in various applications.
