1、Designation: E575 05 (Reapproved 2011)Standard Practice forReporting Data from Structural Tests of BuildingConstructions, Elements, Connections, and Assemblies1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E575; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal ado
2、ption or, in the case of revision, 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 covers general use in reporting structuralperformance tes
3、ts of building 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 recon
4、cile differences 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

7、ganization of 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.
8、1.8 References,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 inser
9、tion in nontechnical 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
10、and any profes-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 whetherth
11、ey were specially 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-mat
12、ion such as quality, 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 wa

Any unusual characteristics or conditions existing in thespecimen construction prior to test shall be described.6.1.7 Specimen DesignDetails shall be provided for anunderstanding of the principles used in the structural design ofthe specimen.6.1.8 Apparatus DescriptionSufficient detail
17、s shall beprovided to explain 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 a
18、vailable and isincluded by reference.6.1.9 Specimen InstallationIllustrations and a descriptionof details of installation in or attachment to the test apparatusshall be provided for each type of specimen. Details of restraintdevices and their location relative to the specimen shall bedescribed as we
19、ll as the locations of loading 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
20、 of the working condition, tolerances, 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
21、performance of thespecimen shall 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
22、of specimen construc-tion shall be made.6.1.12 Specimen WeightA report shall state the amount ofdead load of the apparatus or specimen that has been deductedif the net load or strength is reported or that may be deductedif the gross load or strength is reported.6.1.13 Load-Deformation GraphsGraphs p

24、e shall be described in general termswith criteria for their measurement. A description of eachspecimens failure mode and a value of its ultimate strength ormaximum load or both shall be tabulated.6.1.15 Time Under LoadA load-time record is needed tointerpret some test results and shall be presented
25、 as a graph ortabulation to indicate the time duration for each magnitude ofload.6.1.16 PhotographsPhotographs of the specimen beforeand after testing shall be provided to show what cannot bedescribed easily or clearly by writing. However, if the mode offailure is well known, the photographs are opt

Thevideo may be used in conjunction with a written test report.Generally, a video should contain the following parts:6.1.17.

Useother more appropriate headings may be used, if they betterdescribe the contents.7. Conformity7.1 A report
29、shall contain a statement indicating whether ornot the construction of the test specimen represents actual orintended construction. 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 it
