Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice describes procedures for full scale testingof structur

Guidelines are given for: (1) testing individualstructural glued laminated timber lay-ups (with no modeling),(2) testing individual glulam combinations (with limited mod-eling)
4、, and (3) validating models used to predict characteristicvalues.1.2 This practice is limited to procedures for establishingflexural properties (MOR and MOE). Some of the principlesfor sampling and analysis presented may be applicable to otherproperties. However, other properties may require additio

Lay-up combinations devel-oped in accordance with Practice D 3737 are not req
6、uired to begoverned by this standard.NOTE 1The models described by Practice D 3737 have been devel-oped and modified based on more than 50 years of experience and manytest programs. In some cases, however, it may be desirable to develop anew model based on other input properties or using lumber mate

Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 apparent properties, nMechanical properties as re-lated to the actual cross-sectional dimensions of the structuralglued laminated timber.3.1.2 characteristic value, nA test statistic from whi
18、chdesign values can be derived by the application of appropriateadjustment factors. For strength properties of structural gluedlaminated timber, this value is typically a fifth percentileestimate with 75 % confidence. For deformation-based prop-erties, such as modulus of elasticity, this value is re
19、presentedby the average value. Other statistics are permitted to be usedas characteristic values for input properties of laminationsdepending on the model. Characteristic values for structuralglued laminated timber are typically based on apparent prop-erties.3.1.3 combination, nA series of lay-ups h
20、aving similarlamination properties (grades, species, and end joint strengths),similar percentages of grade placement in the areas of criticalstresses, and similar predicted properties, that are groupedtogether for design purposes.NOTE 2An example of a lay-up combination based on PracticeD 3737 would
21、 be a 24F-V4 Douglas fir combination.3.1.4 lay-up, nThe specific arrangement of well-definedlamination grades for a single structural glued laminated timberdepth.3.1.5 model, nA mathematical method for predicting acharacteristic value for full-scale laminated timber based on theinput properties of t
22、he individual laminations.3.1.6 reference value, nThe characteristic value of amaterial that has been adjusted by the procedures in PracticeD 2915 or Specification D 5457 for use in design equations,but has not been adjusted for end-use conditions.3.1.7 structural glued laminated timber, nAproduct m

24、al axis ofthe member.3.1.8 well-defined grade, nA lumber grade with specificlimits on acceptable characteristics, such as knots, slope ofgrain, density, modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, etc., toensure reproducibility in production.4. Modeling Requirements4.1 General:4.1.1 Purpose for Modelin
25、gFor test results to be appli-cable to structural glued laminated timber sizes that are nottested, it is necessary to relate the properties of the componentlaminations to the beam properties through the use of ananalytical model.4.1.2 Predictive ModelsModels that will be used to de-velop new combina
26、tions, predict characteristic values, andassign design values shall be able to predict accurately thesevalues for a broad range of combinations. These results must bevalidated by full-scale tests according to appropriate testmethods for the property of interest.4.1.3 Single CombinationFor comparing
27、different lay-upsand identifying critical sizes for testing within a single com-bination, transformed section analysis is sufficient to predictthe stresses on each grade in the lay-up relative to the stressesin the tested lay-up. No further modeling shall be required.4.1.4 Single Lay-UpAll modeling
28、requirements shall bewaived if the test results are limited to a single, well-definedlay-up (i.e., the number of laminations is fixed, the grades oflaminations are well defined, and the size (depth) tested isrepresentative of the size intended for production).4.2 Minimum Model Inputs:4.2.1 GeneralAt
29、 a minimum, a suitable model shall bebased on defined lamination properties representative of thematerial used for each lamination and shall account for theplacement of different qualities of laminations throughout thecross section.4.2.2 Lamination PropertiesThe model shall account forboth lumber an
30、d end joint properties.4.2.2.1 Lumber GradeThe species and grades of lumberused in structural glued laminated timber shall be well definedto ensure consistent performance between the grades used intest members and future production members. Strength andstiffness properties for the laminations shall
31、be assignedaccording to the lumber grade. For deterministic models, theproperties assigned to the grade shall be a representativecharacteristic value for the grade. For probabilistic models, aparametric distribution of values shall be determined to repre-sent the grade.(1) SpeciesThe species or grou
32、ps of species permitted bythe grade shall be well defined and shall be represented in thetested members.(2) Modulus of ElasticityFor each grade of lumber used,the modulus of elasticity shall be determined in accordancewith Test Methods D 198 or D 4761 or by the procedures ofSpecification D 5456 or P

Values shall bedetermined by testing in accordance with Test Methods D 198or D 4761 or by the procedures of Specification D 5456 orPractice D 245. Strength values are also permitted to be
34、assigned to a grade zone based on its interaction with the beamas a whole. (For example, the IK/IGmodel used in PracticeD 3737 assigns strength values in this way.)(4) CreepStructural composite lumber for use in struc-tural glued laminated timber shall demonstrate creep perfor-mance similar to solid
35、 wood as demonstrated by SpecificationD 6815.4.2.2.2 End Joint StrengthThe model shall include theeffect of end joints (if used) stressed in tension.

The model shall account for these effectsif more than one grade of laminations is to be used. Thepl
38、acement of grades shall be well defined to ensure propermodeling and reproducibility in production.4.3 Minimum Model Analyses:4.3.1 Transformed-Section AnalysisThe stresses at thelocation of each change of grade in a cross section shall bedetermined using transformed section analysis. For determin-i
39、stic analyses, the average modulus of elasticity of each lumbergrade shall be used. The use of probabilistic models withsimulated values of modulus of elasticity is also acceptable.4.3.2 Prediction of PropertiesThe model shall predictcharacteristic values for the laminated timbers apparent prop-erti
40、es, based on the input lamination properties. Additionally,for strength properties, the model shall account for the possi-bility of any grade of lamination in the member controlling thestrength of the timber. The model shall identify the critical orcontrolling grade zone.5. Testing Requirements5.1 G
