1、Designation:D476119Standard Test Methods forMechanical Properties of Lumber and Wood-BasedStructural Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4761;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last
2、 revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONNumerous evaluations of the mechanical properties of wood-based structural materials have beensatisfactorily conducted since t
3、he late 1920s,using Test Methods D198.Those methods are best suitedto a laboratory environment and are adaptable to a variety of products such as stress-graded lumber,sawn timber,laminated timbers,wood-plywood composite members,reinforced and pre-stressedtimbers.The procedures presented in these tes
4、t methods have been derived from those set forth in TestMethods D198.They are intended primarily for application to stress-graded lumber,but can be usedfor other wood-based structural materials as well.The procedures are more flexible than those in TestMethods D198,making testing in a non-laboratory
5、 environment more feasible.Thus the test methodscan be used on production sites for field testing and quality control,as well as in laboratories forresearch applications.Key differences from Test Methods D198 are the testing speed,the deflection-measuring procedures for specimens under load,and the
6、detail of data reporting.Furthermore,the testmethods do not require that specimens be loaded to failure.Since these test methods allow latitude in testing procedures,the procedures used shall be fullydocumented in the test report.It may also be desirable to correlate the results from tests carried o
