Timber structures - Structural timber and glued laminated timber - Determination of some physical and mechanical properties

Scope

This standard specifies test methods for determining the following properties of structural timber and glued laminated timber: modulus of elasticity in bending, shear modulus, bending strength, modulus of elasticity in tension parallel to the grain, tension strength parallel to the grain, modulus of elasticity in compression parallel to the grain, compression strength to the grain. In addition, the determination of dimensions, moisture content, and density are specified.
