AS/NZS ISO 10984.1:2015 PDF Download

AS/NZS ISO 10984.1:2015 is a standard that adopts the ISO 10984-1:2009 for determining the yield moment of dowel-type fasteners. The standard provides a laboratory method for evaluating the performance of these fasteners in timber structures.

The purpose of this standard is to ensure the strength and reliability of dowel-type fasteners used in timber construction. By determining the yield moment, which is the moment at which plastic deformation begins to occur, the standard helps in evaluating the resistance of these fasteners to bending forces.

The standard specifies the test procedure and equipment required to carry out the yield moment determination. It provides guidelines for the preparation of test samples and the application of load to assess the performance of the dowel-type fasteners.
