Timber Structures - Test Methods - Determination of Embedment Strength and Foundation Values for Dowel Type Fasteners
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 383 standard provides a set of test methods to determine the embedment strength and foundation values of dowel type fasteners used in timber structures. The standard applies to different types of timber products including solid timber, glued laminated timber, and wood-based sheet products.
The purpose of this standard is to provide accurate and reliable methods to assess the performance and load-carrying capacity of dowel type fasteners when embedded in different timber materials. This is essential for ensuring the safety and structural integrity of timber structures, as the embedment strength and foundation values of fasteners directly affect the stability and durability of the overall construction.
By following the procedures specified in the DIN EN 383 standard, laboratory tests can be conducted to determine the specific characteristics of dowel type fasteners when subjected to loading forces. The standard outlines the necessary equipment and test setup, as well as the procedures for performing the tests, measuring the parameters, and calculating the embedment strength and foundation values.
Ultimately, this standard serves as a comprehensive guide for testing the performance of dowel type fasteners in timber structures, enabling engineers, architects, and builders to make informed decisions regarding the selection and design of these fasteners in their construction projects.
