ISO 19049:2016 PDF Download

ISO 19049:2016 standard provides a comprehensive test method for evaluating the performance of horizontal diaphragms including floors and roofs under static loads. The aim of this standard is to assess the static shear capacity and stiffness of a typical segment of a diaphragm assembly.

This standard includes procedures for applying various static loads to the diaphragm assembly and measuring the corresponding deflections and shear forces. The test method outlined in ISO 19049:2016 can be used to assess the structural integrity and load-carrying capacity of diaphragms in timber structures. By subjecting diaphragms to static load tests, the standard helps to ensure the safety, stability, and functionality of horizontal diaphragms in real-world applications.

ISO 19049:2016 provides guidelines for specimen preparation, test setup, load application, and data collection during the testing process. It serves as a valuable resource for structural engineers, architects, and researchers involved in the design, construction, and evaluation of timber structures. The standard promotes standardization and consistency in testing procedures for horizontal diaphragms, contributing to the overall quality and reliability of timber structures.
