The bearing test results are used to determine thestatic load resistance and deformation characteristics of con-nections in wood and wood-base products resulting from theapplication of a load transmitted by a fastener inserted into apredrilled hole, or driven without drilling. Meth
4、ods are givenfor preparing specimens with predrilled holes larger than thefastener diameter and specimens with holes produced byinserting fasteners in holes smaller than the fastener diameter.The methods apply to fasteners such as dowels, bolts, nails,spikes, drift pins, screws, lag screws, and stap
5、les.1.2 This test method also provides the basis for determiningthe compression behavior of wood products beneath a laterallyloaded fastener where the thickness of the product and thediameter of the fastener are such that minimal bending of thefastener occurs during testing.1.3 This standard does no
6、t purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Test Method4.1 Specimens consisting of a single rectangular parallele-piped member with a fastener hole perpendicular to the faces ofthe member are evaluated for the resistance
10、 to embedding thefastener into the fastener hole, so as not to bend the fastener.Tests are conducted on a testing machine at a uniformdeformation rate, while loads and deformation are measured atvarious intervals. Supplementary physical properties of thewood or wood-base member are also determined.5
11、. Significance and Use5.1 The localized crushing behavior of wood or wood-baseproducts beneath a fastener where the fastener does not bendprovides a material property that is used in theoretical modelsfor connections where crushing or fastener bending, or both,occur. These theoretical models are use
12、d to establish designvalues for wood and wood-base connections. The tests areappropriate when studying the effects of such variables asfastener diameter, fastener hole size, moisture content, specificgravity, and grain direction on the dowel-bearing strength.6.

Sampling7.1 Sampling shall provide for selection of representativetest specimens which are appropriate to the objectives of thetesting program.7.2 Sample size shall be estimated using procedures inPractice D 2915.NOTE 1
17、The precision required, the manner of sampling, and thenumber of tests will depend upon the specific test objectives. Generalexperience indicates that the coefficient of variation from embedment testsranges from 15 to 30 %.8. Specimens8.1 Wood members shall be selected, and the dowel posi-tioned in
18、such a way that the results are not affected by knots,cross grain, or other natural or manufacturing characteristics,unless the objective of the study is to determine the effect ofsuch variables. Frequently, this will necessitate selecting mem-bers which are essentially clear and straight grained. F
19、orwood-based products, specimens shall be selected with regardto manufactured characteristics.8.2 Specimen Dimensions:8.2.1 Specimens shall consist of a rectangular parallele-piped member with half a dowel hole across one face (see Fig.1).8.2.2 For solid wood and wood composites, minimumdimensions s
20、hall be made large enough so splitting does notoccur during fabrication and not less than as follows (see Fig.1):Thickness $ the smaller of 112 in. (38 mm), or 2 dowel diametersWidth $ the larger of 2 in. (50 mm) or 4 dowel diametersLength $ the larger of 2 in. (50 mm) or 4 dowel diametersNOTE 2For
21、driven dowels in species that tend to split, larger thanminimum dimensions are recommended to prevent splitting duringspecimen preparation and testing.8.2.2.1 For specimens that tend to split before the comple-tion of the test, a full hole test configuration is allowed in Fig.2. Minimum dimensions s
22、hall be made large enough sosplitting does not occur during fabrication and not less than asfollows (see Fig. 3):Thickness $the smaller of 112 in.

Drill the holeperpendicula
25、r and through the specimen and into an adjacentwood block to minimize splitting of the face where the drill bitexits. Then saw the specimen through the hole to produce aspecimen with a half hole. For bolts, the hole shall be116 in.(1.6 mm) larger than the bolt diameter. If other hole sizes arespecif
26、ied for the fastener, specimens shall have the specifiedhole size.8.2.5 Fastener holes for fasteners that are driven or insertedby other means in holes that are smaller than the fastenerdiameter shall be typical of those in service. Use a pilot hole ofthe size specified for service conditions for th
27、e fastener. Whenpilot holes are used with nails, they shall be less than 75 % ofthe nail diameter (except wood members with specific gravitygreater than 0.60 shall have lead holes less than 90 % of thenail diameter). The fastener shall be driven perpendicular toand through the test specimen and into
28、 an adjacent wood blockto minimize spalling of the face where the fastener exits. Ifwhen removed, the fastener does not affect the hole surface, ahalf hole shall be produced by removing the fastener andsawing through the hole. When removed, if the fastener affectsthe hole surface, a half hole shall
29、be produced by the procedureoutlined in Fig. 4.9. Conditioning9.1 The tests shall be made with material conditioned to theappropriate conditions for the objectives of the testing pro-gram. Care shall be taken to maintain the desired condition ofthe material prior to and during testing, unless specif
30、iedotherwise.10. Procedure10.1 Half-Hole Testing SetupPlace the dowel in the dowelhole. Place the specimen in the testing machine (see Fig. 5), sothat a compressive load can be uniformly applied to the dowelalong its length. A steel loading block of sufficient size toprevent bending of the dowel dur
31、ing loading shall be usedbetween the dowel and movable crosshead.NOTE 3It may be necessary to provide lateral support to thinspecimens loaded in compressions.10.2 Full-Hole Testing SetupPlace the dowel in the dowelhole. Place the specimen in the testing machine so that acompressive load can be appli
32、ed to the ends of the dowel usingan assembly as shown in Fig. 2.NOTE 4It may be necessary to provide lateral support to thinspecimens loaded in compression.NOTE 5If bending of the dowel is observed during loading, consid-eration of a half-hole test setup is recommended.FIG. 3 Specimen ConfigurationF
33、ull HoleNOTE 1The procedure is as follows:(1) Cut specimen at point where fastener is to be driven.(2) Clamp the two pieces together with sufficient pressure to maintaincontact between adjoining faces during nailing.(3) Drill lead hole in seam of abutting pieces.(4) Drive fastener in lead hole.(5) R
34、emove clamps and smaller piece.(6) The remaining piece is the test specimen with the fastener insertedin the hole.FIG. 4 Means of Producing a Half-Hole Specimen When theFastener Cannot Be Removed Without Affecting the Hole SurfaceFIG. 5 Schematic of Testing SetupD 5764 97a (2007)3NOTE 6For full-hole
35、 bolt embedment specimens, experience hasshown that a thickness of 2 to 3 bolt diameters (2 diameters # thickness# 3 diameters) and an end distance equal to or greater than seven boltdiameters will provide embedment displacements at failure greater thanthe 5 % offset limit.10.3 Deformation Measureme
36、ntThe deformation of thefastener shall be taken as the movement of the moveablecrosshead of the testing machine. Measure the movement witha linear variable differential transducer (LVDT), (see Fig. 5), orother suitable device.NOTE 7Equipment setup should be checked for tightness to ensurethat there
37、is no significant relaxation under load that would be erroneouslyrecorded as dowel deformation.10.4 Rate of TestingConduct the test to reach maximumload in 1 to 10 min. Record the rate of testing used.NOTE 8A constant rate of movement of the moveable crosshead ofthe testing machine of 0.04 in./min (
38、1.0 mm/min) 650 % usually permitsreaching maximum load in the prescribed time.10.5 TestingMeasure the deformation from the beginningof load application, and take readings at sufficiently frequentload intervals to permit establishment of a satisfactory load-deformation curve. Observe the general beha
39、vior of the speci-men, and record the observations. Record the first relaxation ofload indicated on the testing machine load scale, the mode offailure, maximum load, and other significant details. The testshall be terminated at an embedment of one half the fastenerdiameter or after maximum load has
40、been reached.10.6 Minor Tests:10.6.1 Determine the oven-dry specific gravity and moisturecontent of each specimen tested. Procedures for determiningthese properties are given in Test Methods D 2395 and D 4442.11. Interpretation of Results11.1 Yield LoadThe bearing yield load (see Fig. 6)isdetermined
41、 by the following procedure:11.1.1 Fit a straight line to the initial linear portion of theload-deformation curve.11.1.2 Offset this line by a deformation equal to 5 % of thefastener diameter.11.1.3 Select the load at which the offset line intersects theload-deformation curve. In those cases where t
42、he offset linedoes not intersect the load-deformation curve, the maximumload shall be used as the yield load.NOTE 9Compute the dowel-bearing strength by dividing the yieldload by the fastener diameter and the specimen thickness.11.2 Proportional Limit LoadThe proportional limit load(see Fig. 5) is t
43、he load at which the load-deformation curvedeviates from a straight line fitted to the initial portion of theload-deformation curve.12.
