Wood-based panels - Determination of duration of load and creep factors ENV 1156:1998

Publication date:   Jun 30, 2004

Scope

This European Prestandard specifies a method of determining in a constant climate both a duration of load factor and a creep factor for wood-based panels stressed in flatwise bending with and without a shear component. Details of an alternative but provisional method employing medium sized test pieces are given in Annex B; this method can also be used for test pieces loaded under varying climates.
