Timber Structures - Test Methods - Soft Body Impact Test of Timber Framed Walls
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 596 standard provides a specific test method for evaluating the impact resistance of timber framed walls. The focus of the test is to assess the wall panel's ability to withstand impact from a soft body striking its sheathing. The objective is to determine the panel's resistance to this type of impact.
By establishing this test method, the standard aims to ensure that timber frame walls meet specific impact resistance requirements. These requirements are relevant for various applications and industries where timber structures are involved. The standard provides standardized procedures and guidelines for conducting the soft body impact test, which facilitates consistent and reliable measurement of impact resistance across different timber framed wall panels.
