Timber Structures: Glued Laminated Timber - Face and Edge Joint Cleavage Test
Also Known As:
The BS ISO 19993:2020 standard provides methods for assessing the quality of glue bonds in glued laminated timber (glulam) within a manufacturing plant setting. The standard focuses on cleaving the glue line under both dry and wet conditions to evaluate the effectiveness of the face and edge joints.
It is important to note that this standard is not intended for initial type testing, which typically involves cyclic delamination or block shear. Instead, it is designed to determine the bond strength in production and ensure that it exceeds the perpendicular-to-grain tension strength of the underlying substrate. This standard places emphasis on achieving minimum wood failure percentages, as this indicates that the bond strength is sufficient and not the limiting factor in the integrity of a glulam assembly.
