Methods of Test for Ancillary Components for Masonry - Part 6: Determination of Tensile and Compressive Load Capacity and Load Displacement Characteristics of Wall Ties (Single End Test)
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 846-6 standard provides a specific method for evaluating the tensile and compressive load capacity, as well as the load displacement characteristics, of wall ties used in masonry construction. These wall ties are typically attached to frame elements or inner leaf materials using methods such as screwing, nailing, grouting, or other types of secure fastening.
The purpose of this test is to assess the performance of wall ties in connecting masonry leaves to frame structures and inner leaves of cavity walls. It excludes ties that are embedded in mortar joints for inner connections. The standard outlines the procedures for conducting the tests to measure both tensile and compressive load capacity, as well as determining the load displacement characteristics of these wall ties.
