1、Designation:D565295(Reapproved 2013)Standard Test Methods forBolted Connections in Wood and Wood-Based Products1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5652;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of las
2、t 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 These test methods cover procedures for evaluating thestrength and stiffness of single-bolted connections in wood orwood-based
3、 products when subjected to static loading.Thesetest methods serve as a basis for determining the effects ofvarious factors on the strength and stiffness of the connection.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard.The SI units in parentheses are for informationonly.
4、1.3 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 of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Docum
