3、es may serve in multiple structural capacities, including: providing floor closureand diaphragm attachment, transferring vertical and in-plane lateral loads, restricting out-of-planerotation and lateral translation at the ends of the floor joists, providing deck ledger attachment, andspanning wall o

4、penings as a header material. Rim board products, which serve a principal role as acomponent integrated within a rim board assembly, can vary by wood species, size, shape, and type.Rim board products and assemblies require evaluation of their mechanical properties, physicalproperties, and their resp

5、onse to end use environments. Procedures established in this Specificationprovide a means to test rim board products and assemblies, to judge their acceptability, and to establishallowable design capacities.1. Scope1.1 This specification provides procedures for testing andestablishing the structural

6、 capacities of proprietary rim boardproducts and assemblies for use in light-frame wood construc-tion using I-joist or structural composite lumber joist framing.It does not apply to rim board products manufactured to acommodity rim board standard.1.2 This specification was developed in light of curr

7、entlymanufactured panel, structural composite lumber, and pre-fabricated I-joist rim board products as defined in 3.2. Mate-rials that do not conform to the definitions of 3.2 are beyondthe scope of this specification.1.3 Fire safety, sound transmission, building envelope per-formance, and cutting/n

8、otching attributes of rim board prod-ucts and assemblies are all items that may need to beconsidered in an end-use application. These items fall outsidethe scope of this specification.1.4 This specification primarily considers end use in dryservice conditions, such as most protected framing members,

9、where the equilibrium moisture content for solid-sawn lumberis less than 16 %.1.5 This specification provides methods to establish “allow-able stress” design resistances for use with the National DesignSpecification for Wood Construction (NDS). Derivation ofdesign resistances from the test data in a

10、ccordance with “loadand resistance factor design” or “limit states design” arebeyond the scope of this specification.1.6 Quality control requirements are outside the scope ofthis Specification.1.7 The performance of a rim board product will be affectedby the constituent wood species, geometry, adhes

11、ive, andproduction parameters. Therefore, rim board products pro-duced by each individual manufacturer shall be evaluated todetermine their product properties, regardless of the similarityin characteristics to products produced by other manufacturers.1.8 Where a manufacturer produces product in more

12、 thanone facility, each production facility shall be evaluated inde-pendently. For additional production facilities, any revisions tothe full qualification program in accordance with this specifi-cation shall be approved by an accredited, independent quali-fying agency.1.9 The values stated in inch-

13、pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D07 on Woodand is the direct responsibility of Subc
