Timber Structures - Test Methods - Determination of the Yield Moment of Dowel Type Fasteners
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 409 standard provides a defined procedure for determining the yield moment of dowel type fasteners in timber structures. Yield moment refers to the moment at which the fastener begins to permanently deform or yield under load.
The standard outlines a detailed test method that must be followed in order to accurately determine the yield moment of dowel type fasteners. This method ensures the consistent and reliable evaluation of the fastener's performance and enables comparison between different types of fasteners.
By establishing a standard test method, DIN EN 409 provides a common reference framework for manufacturers, researchers, and practitioners in the field of timber structures. This allows for better quality control and allows users to select the most appropriate dowel type fasteners for specific timber applications based on their measured yield moments.
