Timber Structures - Test Methods - Determination of Embedment Strength and Foundation Values for Dowel Type Fasteners
Also Known As:
BS EN 383:2007 is a standard that provides guidelines for testing the embedment strength and foundation values of dowel type fasteners used in timber structures. The standard is applicable to various timber products such as solid timber, glued laminated timber, and wood-based sheet products.
The purpose of this standard is to establish laboratory methods for determining the strength of the connection between the fasteners and the timber materials. It aims to provide accurate and reliable data regarding the ability of the fasteners to resist forces and stresses during the service life of the timber structure.
The standard specifies the testing conditions, procedures, and equipment required to carry out the tests. It covers aspects such as sample preparation, loading arrangements, and measurement techniques. By following the guidelines outlined in this standard, users can determine the embedment strength and foundation values of dowel type fasteners, which are essential for designing and evaluating timber structures.
