ISO DIS 12122-5

Description / Abstract: This document gives methods of determination of characteristic values for a defined population of mechanical connections between timber components, calculated from full scale test values. It presents methods for the determination of:

a) slip modulus of mechanical connections;

b) characteristic strength of connections subjected to either monotonic or cyclic loads.

NOTE 1 Glued connections are excluded from the scope of this document.

NOTE 2 It is assumed that the failure mode is the same for all specimens in the sample.

NOTE 3 When a small number of test results is available ISO 12122-6 should be used for the determination of the mean and the 5th percentile values,

NOTE 4 Informative commentary to the clauses of this standard may be found in Annex A.
