ISO/TR 21141:2022 PDF Download

ISO/TR 21141:2022 is a standard that focuses on timber structures and specifically timber connections and assemblies. The main objective of this standard is to determine the yield and ultimate characteristics as well as the ductility of these connections and assemblies. The standard achieves this by analyzing and reviewing existing standards in Europe, North America, and Far East Asia.

By comparing and contrasting the similarities and differences of these existing standards, ISO/TR 21141:2022 aims to unify the evaluation methods and parameters for timber connections and assemblies. The standard emphasizes the importance of these parameters in assessing the seismic performance of timber structures.

It is important to note that this standard specifically addresses the mechanical properties of individual joints and assemblies, and it does not cover the seismic performance of the entire structure. The focus is on providing a standardized approach to determining the yield and ultimate characteristics of timber connections and assemblies, which can be crucial in ensuring the safety and stability of timber structures.
