Timber Structures - Test Methods - Determination of the Long Term Behaviour of Coated and Uncoated Dowel-Type Fasteners
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 16784 standard outlines the procedure for testing the long term behaviour of coated and uncoated dowel-type fasteners in timber structures. It is used to determine the withdrawal strength of these fasteners in structural timber, timber products, and wood-based products for structural applications. The method outlined in this standard is applicable to all types of nails, screws, and staples.
The purpose of this test method is to assess the performance and durability of dowel-type fasteners over an extended period of time. The withdrawal strength of the fastener is measured to determine its ability to resist pulling out of the timber structure. This is an important factor in ensuring the structural integrity and stability of the timber assembly.
