This European Standard shall be given
18、the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may
19、be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 846-6:2000. The principal changes in this document form the previous edition relate to the number of ties to be tested, the location of the cla
20、mp during testing and the treatment of slope and movement tolerant ties. Ties are to now be placed at the minimum declared embedment length rather than a length calculated from the tie length and design cavity width. Ten ties are tested in tension and ten in compression. In the compression tests the
21、 ties are loaded over an extended cavity, or alternatively provision is made for evaluating the cavity section by calculation. Where ties are designed to tolerate either an induced slope or movement then prior to test they are cycled fifty times through the slope or movement for which they have been
22、 designed. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,
23、France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. DIN EN 846-6:2012-11 EN 846-6:2012 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard spec
24、ifies a method for determining the tensile and compressive load capacity and load displacement characteristics of wall ties screwed, nailed, grouted or otherwise attached to frame elements or to inner leaf materials. The test is intended for ties for connecting masonry leaves to frame structures and
25、 to the inner leaves of cavity walls other than by embedding the inner connection in a mortar joint. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

30、 tie is screwed, nailed, grouted or attached using other devices such as keys in slots, to a representative section of the frame element or inner leaf material using normal site techniques. The tie is then subjected to tension or compression until failure occurs. DIN EN 846-6:2012-11 EN 846-6:2012 (
31、E) 5 4 Materials 4.1 Timber frame elements (studs) Timber sections shall be of coniferous timber as specified in accordance with strength class C24 of EN 338 and with a density of not greater than 600 kg/m and a moisture content of 9 15 % by mass or as specified. 4.2 Timber frame sheathing Timber fr
32、ame sheathing shall be of oriented strand board (OSB) in accordance with EN 300 or an acceptable structurally equivalent alternative material as specified and should be 400 mm 10 mm square and at least 8 mm thick. 4.3 Metal frame or stud elements and concrete elements including lightweight aggregate
33、 concrete Representative sections of metal frame or stud elements or representative concrete samples shall be used as specified. 4.4 Masonry units 4.4.1 Sampling Masonry units shall be as specified in accordance with EN 771. All of the masonry units for individual tests shall be taken from the same
34、consignment. Masonry units shall be in an air dry condition, unless otherwise specified. 4.4.2 Testing Determine the compressive strength of a sample of masonry units using the method given in EN 772-1. Measure the moisture content by mass of AAC or calcium silicate units in accordance with EN 772-1
35、0. For other types of units, record the method of conditioning. Record the age of non-autoclaved concrete units at the time of testing the masonry specimens. 4.5 Screws, nails, grouts, plugs, slot sections or other fixing ancillary items Fixing materials shall be in a clean dry uncontaminated state,
36、 either as supplied by the manufacturer or supplier for use with the tie system or as specified. 4.6 Sheathing nails Sheathing nails for timber frame sheathing shall be as specified. 4.7 Concrete for slot type anchors Concrete shall comply with EN 206-1 and have a minimum compressive strength class
37、of C 20/25 or as specified. DIN EN 846-6:2012-11 EN 846-6:2012 (E) 6 5 Apparatus 5.1 A simple support for the frame/wall element specimen such that the reactions are no closer to the tie than twice the depth of embedment or 100 mm whichever is the greater. The support system shall not apply any rest
38、raint against splitting or bowing of the specimen, apart from the friction generated at the reaction due to the applied load. For ties designed for large differential movements (e.g. timber frame ties) the clamp system shall allow a simulated vertical differential movement to be applied. (A typical
39、arrangement is shown in Figure 1). 5.2 A clamp for gripping the free end of the tie and applying a tensile or compressive load. (Typical clamps are shown in Figure 2.) NOTE Clamping failures will invalidate the deformation measurement and therefore specially designed clamps may be needed for particu
40、lar tie forms. The use of low melting point alloys to act as chucks is recommended for complex pressing. Some frame ties will require special clamps to deal with the nailing/screwing tab. 5.3 A test machine capable of applying the load without distortion such that the maximum load reading occurs abo
41、ve 20 % of the full scale reading. The load shall be measured using a load cell device having a digital or analogue readout with a maximum error of 2 % of the full scale reading. The system shall apply an axial force to the specimen. The system or universal test machine shall be fitted with a rigid
42、connection between the clamp which is used to apply tension or compression loads and the machine cross-head or loading device, i.e. any pivot ball joint or universal joint connections to the load cells shall be locked. 5.4 A means of measuring the displacement of the specimen in relation to the clam
43、p using at least two symmetrically placed dial gauges or electrical linear displacement transducers (as shown in Figure 1). Displacement shall be measured to the nearest 0,01 mm. 5.5 For polymer-based (plastic) products only, a controlled temperature and humidity chamber or room which may be a chamb
44、er which fits over the specimen. 6 Preparation and storage of test specimens 6.1 General Ten specimens each for compression and tensile testing shall be prepared for testing at the declared minimum embedment length. The number of specimens for each shall be doubled where both ends of asymmetrical ti
45、es are tested separately. NOTE The fastening or tie should be installed approximately perpendicular to the face of the supporting material. Where the design of the tie precludes this, the manufacturers fixing instructions should be followed. 6.2 Timber frame Cut or manufacture timber frame squares c
46、onsisting of a piece of sheathing material fixed centrally to a length of stud by sheathing nails at 150 mm centres. None of the nails shall be closer to the centre of the stud than 20 mm. Fix ties to these timber frame squares using the fastenings provided with the ties and following the tie manufa
47、cturers instructions. Ties shall be located to within 10 mm of the centre of the timber frame square. (A typical specimen is shown in Figure 3.) DIN EN 846-6:2012-11 EN 846-6:2012 (E) 7 6.3 Other support materials Cut representative sections of studs, rails, columns or walls such that the length is
48、at least 215 mm. Fix ties or surface-mounted slot devices to them using the fastenings provided and using normal site practice or follow the tie manufacturers instructions. Ties shall be located to within 10 mm of the centre of the specimen. 6.4 Ties installed into cast in slots Install lengths of the slot section flush against one face of a wall mould of suitable dimensions using nails or proprietary clips. The slot should be a minim
