Methods of Test for Ancillary Components for Masonry: Determination of Load Capacity and Load-Deflection Characteristics of Straps
Also Known As:
BS EN 846-4:2002 is a standard that outlines the methods for testing the load capacity and load-deflection characteristics of straps used as ancillary components in masonry construction. These straps are typically fixed to timber joists, rafters, wall plates, and masonry walls to provide restraint and structural support.
The purpose of this standard is to provide a consistent and reliable method for evaluating the performance of these straps in terms of their ability to withstand loads and deflection under different conditions. By conducting these tests, manufacturers and industry professionals can ensure that the straps meet the necessary requirements for structural integrity and safety.
The standard specifies the testing procedures for determining the load capacity and load-deflection characteristics of the straps. It includes guidelines for preparing the test specimens, applying the load on the straps, and measuring the corresponding deflection. The results obtained from these tests can be used to assess the suitability of the straps for specific applications and to compare different products available on the market.
