3、actice is useful in assessing the appropriateness of the assignedproperties and for checking the effectiveness of grading procedures.Statistical methodologies areprovided to serve as a basis for the empirical establishment and evaluation of mean and near minimumproperty estimates.These population es
4、timates are then used by product standards to assign structuraldesign values for use with an established design methodology(that is,allowable stress design,loadand resistance factor design,limit states design,etc.).Near-minimum property estimates are typicallyused by the product standards to define
5、the performance for a variety of structural properties wherestrength is a primary consideration(that is,extreme fiber stress in bending,axial tension,axialcompression,shear,and elasticity for buckling concerns).Population mean estimates are often usedto assess serviceability design criteria where st
6、rength is not the primary design concern(that is,elasticity estimates used for deformation calculations,permissible compression stress at adeformation,etc.).For situations where a manufactured product is sampled repeatedly or lot sizes are small,alternativetest methods as described in Ref(1)2may be
7、more applicable.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers sampling and analysis proceduresfor the investigation of specified populations of wood andwood-based structural products referred to in this standard asproducts.Appropriate product standards should be referencedfor presentation requirements for data.De
8、pending on theinterest of the user,the population from which samples aretaken may range from the products produced at a specificmanufacturing site to all the products produced in a particulargrade from a particular geographic area,during some specifiedinterval of time.This practice generally assumes
9、 that thepopulation is sufficiently large so that,for sampling purposes,it may be considered infinite.Where this assumption isinadequate,that is,the population is assumed finite,many ofthe provisions of this practice may be employed but thesampling and analysis procedure must be designed to reflect
10、afinite population.The statistical techniques embodied in thispractice provide procedures to summarize data so that logicaljudgments can be made.This practice does not specify theaction to be taken after the results have been analyzed.Theaction to be taken depends on the particular requirements of t
