1、Designation: D7470 08 (Reapproved 2015)Standard Practice forEvaluating Elevated Temperature Performance of End-Jointed Lumber Studs1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7470; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of re
2、vision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice is to be used to evaluate the elevatedtemperature performance of end-jointed lumber
3、studs.1.2 Asymmetric wall assembly containing end-jointed lum-ber studs is exposed to a standard fire exposure specified inTest Methods E119.1.3 End-jointed lumber studs are deemed qualified if thewall assembly resists a standard fire exposure specified in TestMethods E119 for a period of 60 min or
4、more. Qualification ofend-jointed lumber studs are restricted to the joint configura-tion and adhesive tested.1.4 This practice is used to evaluate the performance ofend-jointed lumber studs to heat and flame under controlledconditions, but does not by itself incorporate all factorsrequired for fire
5、 hazard or fire risk assessment under actual fireconditions.1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. I
6、t 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.

This practice is intended to be limited to theevaluation of end-jointed lumber studs with a specific jointconfiguration, adhesive, and limited design properties. Theresults are only applicable to end-jointed lumber studs using ajoint configuration

Light-weight wood assembliesutilize gypsum wallboard or other types of membrane protec-tion to accomplish a requisite fire resistance rating for theassembly. However, wood studs and the end-joints in the studsshall resi

This practice provides a method forevaluating the elevated temperature performance of an assem-bly constructed with end-jointed studs having fire performancecomparable to an assembly constructed with solid-sawn studs.6.
18、 Wall Assembly6.1 A load-bearing wall meeting the following assemblydescription shall be used:6.1.1 Framing Elements:6.1.1.1 StudsNine pieces of 2 by 4 (nominal) end-jointedlumber shall be used for wall studs. Each piece of end-jointedlumber shall be 115.5 in. (2934 mm) long and have at least oneend
19、-joint within the middle third of the length. Studs shall besymmetrically placed within the 10-ft (3 m) long by 10-ft (3 m)high wall assembly with interior studs spaced 16 in. (406 mm)on center as shown in Fig. 1. The moisture content of theend-jointed lumber shall be no greater than 15 % at the tim
20、e ofthe fire test.NOTE 1When producing end-jointed lumber for use in this standardpractice, consideration should be given to the unique productionconditions, such as wood moisture content, applied spread rate, pressure,and curing temperature of the adhesive in accordance with the adhesivemanufacture
21、rs recommendations.6.1.1.2 PlatesStuds shall be attached to a double top plateand a single bottom plate as shown in Fig. 1. Plates shall be thesame species as the stud material. The first top plate and thebottom plate shall be attached to the studs using 2-16d commonnails or 3-16d box nails. The sec
22、ond top plate is attached to thefirst top plate using a single row of 16d common nail at 16 in.(406 mm) on center or 1-16d box nails at 12 in. (305 mm) oncenter. Nails shall be in accordance with Specification F1667.NOTE 2In Fig. 1, double top plates are located at the bottom of testwall to be adjac
23、ent to the movable load beam. Double top plates arelocated at the top of the test wall when the load beam is along the top.6.1.1.3 BlockingBlocking between studs shall not bepermitted.6.1.2 InsulationThe cavity between studs shall be filledwith 3-in. (89-mm) thick mineral wool insulation having anom
24、inal density of 2.5 pcf (40 kg/m3).6.1.3 SheathingA single layer of -in. (16-mm) Type Xgypsum wallboard (in accordance with Specification C1396/C1396M), 4 ft (1.22 m) wide, shall be applied to each side ofthe assembly with the long axis perpendicular to the studs asshown in Fig. 1. Horizontal joints
25、 shall be unblocked. Novertical joints are required.6.1.4 FastenersGypsum wallboard shall be attached to allframing members, including top and bottom plates, as shown inFIG. 1 Assembly DetailsD7470 08 (2015)2Fig. 1 using 2-in. (57-mm) Type S drywall screws spaced 12in. (305 mm) on center.NOTE 3Screw
26、s have been shown to increase the temperature in thesurrounding wood and insertion into end-joints should be minimized.6.1.5 Joints and Fastener HeadsOn both faces of thewall, all wallboard joints shall be covered with paper tape andjoint compound and fastener heads shall be covered with jointcompou

Loading7.1 The superimposed load on the wall assembly throughoutthe fire resistance test shall be nine times the load per studcalculated in 7.1.2.7.1.1 Joint Strength QualificationAn agency shall qualifythe sample of end-jointed lumber for the highest grade for thespecies being tested. The lum
28、ber used for the vertical framingin the fire test wall assembly shall be selected from the lot usedto qualify the joint strength.NOTE 4In the United States and Canada, criteria for agency accredi-tation are contained in PS-20, and CSA O141, respectively.NOTE 5In the United States, the minimum streng
29、th qualificationrequirements for end-jointed lumber are given in theALSC Glued LumberPolicy.7.1.2 Load CalculationThe load per stud shall be calcu-lated using 100 % of the adjusted compression design valueparallel to grain (Fc) calculated in accordance with theprocedures of Practice D6513 for the hi
30、ghest grade qualified in7.1.1. The load per stud shall be calculated using minimumdressed size dimensions 1.5 in. (38 mm) by 3.5 in.
