Provides requirements for testing rectangular sections of sawn solid timber of commercial structural size to provide data for the determination of characteristic values for structural design. It specifies the test methods only.
This Standard specifies test methods for measuring the structural properties of rectangular sections sawn solid timber of commercial structural size.
NOTE: The test methods specified in this Standard may be adapted to measure the structural properties of rectangular sections of other structural timber materials and the properties or capacities and rigidities, as appropriate, of non-rectangular sections, such as round timber (or poles) and composite sections such as I-sections.
