Timber Structures - Test Methods - Withdrawal Capacity of Timber Fasteners
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1382 standard, with the title "Timber Structures - Test Methods - Withdrawal Capacity of Timber Fasteners," provides guidelines for conducting tests to determine the withdrawal capacity of fasteners in timber structures. The standard specifically applies to fasteners inserted into various types of timber, including solid timber, laminated veneer lumber (LVL), cross-laminated timber (CLT), and glued laminated timber.
The standard states that the test method is applicable to all types of nails, screws, and staples commonly used in timber construction. It sets out the requirements and procedures for conducting the withdrawal capacity tests, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the results.
By following the guidelines specified in DIN EN 1382, manufacturers, engineers, and researchers can determine the maximum withdrawal capacity of different fasteners in timber structures. This information is crucial for designing and constructing safe and reliable timber buildings, as it helps ensure that fasteners can withstand the forces and loads imposed on them.
