1、Designation: E 575 05Standard Practice forReporting Data from Structural Tests of BuildingConstructions, Elements, Connections, and Assemblies1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 575; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the
2、 case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers general use in reporting structuralperformance tests of building
3、constructions, elements, connec-tions, and assemblies. A comprehensive report describing theconditions under which the structural data were recorded willenable other workers to reproduce the test methods and, asnearly as possible, the results for each material or assembly,and to reconcile difference
4、s that might be found in tests byothers.1.2 This standard does not 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
5、limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E 631 Terminology of Building Constructions3. Terminology3.1 For definitions of terms used in this practice, seeTerminology E 631.4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice provides a standard procedure for report-ing data and results
6、 of structural tests used for buildingconstructions, elements, corrections, and assemblies. It enu-merates and discusses the report sections required to reportdata from test methods and practices. The written reports willdescribe the products tested, method of testing, and results.5. Organization of
7、 Report5.1 Generally, a report shall contain the following parts inthe sequence listed:5.1.1 Title page with byline,5.1.2 Object statement,5.1.3 Descriptions of specimen(s) and apparatus,5.1.4 Procedure statement,5.1.5 Discussion of test results,5.1.6 Conclusion,5.1.7 Recommendations,5.1.8 Reference
8、s,5.1.9 Pictures,5.1.10 Tabulations,5.1.11 Calculations, and5.1.12 Supplementary data.5.2 Use the headings listed that are appropriate. Use othermore appropriate headings if they better describe the content.5.3 When the expected readership includes both experts andlaymen, an early insertion in nonte
9、chnical language of thenecessary background, data summary, and results is useful.6. Documented Information6.1 A report shall include the following information, but notnecessarily in the order listed:6.1.1 TitleA title shall be brief but definitive.6.1.2 AuthorOne first name and surname and any profe
10、s-sional registration shall be included in a byline for positiveidentification.6.1.3 Date of test and date of report.6.1.4 Test agency, sponsor, and their mailing addresses.6.1.5 Specimen Selection and IdentificationIndicate thenumber of specimens, method of choosing them, and whetherthey were speci
11、ally fabricated for this test, prototypes ofplanned production, randomly selected production units, and soforth. If specimens were obtained from routine production,include the manufacturers name, source of supply, specimendimensions, model, type, materials, and other pertinent infor-mation such as q
12、uality, conditioning, and treatment, includingdata on assembly techniques and fastenings.6.1.6 Specimen DrawingsDrawings shall provide a de-scription of the physical characteristics and dimensioned sec-tion profiles and any other pertinent construction details. Thisrequirement may be waived if an ex

17、 the construction, operation, and position ofthe test apparatus. This description may require a presentationof the structural design of the apparatus, especially if it isoriginal in design or operation. This requirement may bewaived if an existing description is easily available and isincluded by re

Details of restraintdevices and their location relative to the specimen shall bedescribed as well as the locations of loadin
19、g and reactionpoints.6.1.10 InstrumentationA report shall describe the loca-tion, direction of measurement, and technical specifications ofany instrumentation used to measure loads, reactions, anddeformations generated by the test apparatus and the specimen.A description of the working condition, to
20、lerances, and accu-racy of such meters is useful. The relative deformation mea-sured by each gage shall be described.6.1.11 Ambient ConditionsRecords of temperature, rela-tive humidity, moisture content, seasoning, and any otherconditions that are relevant to structural performance of thespecimen sh
21、all be included. A history of such conditions fromthe time of construction until the time of test may be moresignificant than those present at the time of test, and therefore,if warranted, measurements of ambient conditions and thecondition of the specimen from the time of specimen construc-tion sha

If the construction does not representtypical manufacture, deviations shall be noted.7.2 When a standard test method is used, a statement shallbe included indicating its name and designation. Devia
