21、 standard specifies the general principles to be adopted for static load testing of timber structures. It is intended for use where it is necessary to verify by test that a structure complies with stated criteria. Relevant parts may be used for proof loading or for the testing of structures in servi
22、ce. This standard is not intended to be used for testing of individual pieces of timber, individual joints or structural scaled models. 2 Normative references None. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply. 3.1 maximum load load at failure; or load where subst
23、antial deformation continues without further increase in load; or the maximum load achieved up to a specified deformation or strain 3.2 timber structure member or assembly of members forming the whole or a part of a load bearing element of construction (e.g.a joist or a truss or a floor panel or a w
24、all panel) 4 Symbols 5 General requirements Materials and workmanship in the structure shall be, as far as practicable, of the minimum quality and dimensions allowed by the relevant specification. The manufacture and assembly of the timber structure shall be representative of the production process
25、likely to be used. The moisture and temperature conditions at the time of test shall be representative of the likely in-service conditions. Deviations may, however, be required for structures composed of materials with different time-dependent properties to obtain the same failure mode as in practic
26、e. 6 Test methods for static loading 6.1 Principle The principle of these test methods involves applying a stated regime of loading to a timber structure, over a stated period of time, and of observing the corresponding deformations and reporting the test results. 6.2 Number of tests Wherever possib
27、le several identical structures of the same design shall be tested to permit the assessment of the variability of the test results. NOTEThe number of structures to be tested and their method of selection will depend on the probable variability in manufacture, the required level of confidence and the
28、 number of loading conditions to be applied. 6.3 Apparatus The accuracy of loading and of deflection and load measurement shall be within3%. The test loading shall be both applied and resisted in a manner approximating to the actual service conditions. Eccentricities, other than those necessary to s
29、imulate service conditions, shall be avoided at points of loading and reaction, and care shall be taken to ensure that no inadvertent restraints are present. 6.4 Preparation Determine the density and moisture content of the materials in the structure. When testing is carried out in a laboratory it s
30、hall be normally maintained at a relative humidity of(65 5)% and a temperature of(20 2) C, unless required otherwise by the normal in-service condition of the test structure. Departures from the required values shall be reported. When testing is carried out other than in a laboratory e.g.in situ, th
31、e environmental conditions of temperature and relative humidity existing during the test shall be reported.

A
33、diagrammatic representation of the loading procedure is given in Figure 1. Table 1 Basic loading procedure 6.5.2 Maximum load procedure1 Procedure1 consists of the basic loading steps(07) concluding by increasing the load up to the maximum load F max(step78 in Figure 1.) If considerable deformation
34、occurs during the application of the load, reduce the rate of loading. 6.5.3 Proof loading procedure2 Procedure2 consists of the basic loading steps(07); the load is removed after a prescribed loadF max,est ( 1) has been reached and the test ended (step79 in Figure 1). NOTEThis procedure is intended
35、 for proof loading and the case when the capacity at more than one load combination is tested. The value of depends on the confidence required in estimating the maximum load capacity.

37、ation procedure3 Procedure3 consists of the basic loading steps(07); the loadF max,estis kept constant for a chosen period of time T. The load is then removed and the recovery is measured during a chosen period T r(steps7101112 in Figure 1). 6.5.5 Capacity after long-term loading procedure4 This fol
38、lows procedure3 but in this case the structure is reloaded to failure (steps710111213 in Figure 1). NOTEProcedures3 and4 are intended for the study of deformation at long-term loading and maximum load capacity after long-term loading. 6.6 Results The deformation (e.g.deflection) shall be measured at
39、 the number of points prescribed or as necessary to estimate the performance of the structure. A minimum requirement is that the deformation is measured at the point of expected maximum deformation. Measurements of load and deformation shall be recorded, preferably continuously. A minimum requiremen
40、t is that load and deformation is recorded at each load application or removal (i.e.atthe points marked by circles in Figure 1) and, additionally, at loading increments of above0,1F max,est . During constant load, time and deformation shall normally be recorded continuously. Where this is not possib
41、le it shall be recorded at least five times during the period of constant load (three points in between the starting and final points). 6.7 Test report The test report shall include the following. a) Sampling procedure. b) Quality of materials: species or type, grade, density and moisture content. D
42、eviations from specifications. c) Specifications of design. Deviations from specification. d) Conditions of testing, including methods, distribution of loading and of measuring loads and deformations. Support conditions. e) Test results.
