Timber Structures - Tests Methods - Load Bearing Stapled Joints
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1381 standard provides test methods for evaluating the strength and deformation properties of load-bearing staple joints in timber structures. It specifies the procedures for assessing joints that involve various types of timber, such as solid timber and glued laminated timber, or wood-based products. The standard covers all sizes of staples with circular, rectangular, or oval cross-sections up to 3 mm in diameter for circular staples or 4 mm x 2 mm for rectangular or oval staples.
The primary objective of the test methods outlined in this standard is to determine the load-slip characteristics and maximum load capacity of joints with laterally loaded staples. It takes into consideration the possible variations in angles between the applied force and the timber grain direction or the primary direction of the wood-based products.
