Timber Structures Test Methods Load Bearing Stapled Joints
Also Known As:
The BS EN 1381:2016 standard provides test methods for evaluating the strength and deformation properties of load-bearing stapled joints in timber structures. This standard focuses on assessing joints made with timber members, including solid timber and glued laminated timber, as well as wood-based products. It encompasses all types of staples up to 3mm in diameter for circular cross-section staples or 4mm x 2mm for rectangular or oval cross-section staples.
The test methods outlined in this standard are specifically designed to analyze the load-slip characteristics and maximum load of joints with laterally loaded staples. These methods account for various angles between the applied force and the timber grain direction or the main direction of the wood-based products. By utilizing these test methods, the standard aims to provide a comprehensive framework for evaluating the performance and reliability of load-bearing stapled joints in timber structures.
