EN 594:1995
(Main)Timber structures - Test methods - Racking strength and stiffness of timber frame wall panels
General Information
- Abstract
This standard specifies the test method to be used in determining the racking strength and stiffness of timber frame wall panels. The test method is intended, primarily for panels as described, to provide: - comparative performance values for the materials used in the manufacture of the panels and; - datum information for use in structural design. The principle of the test method is suited to other sizes or shapes of panels and to panels which are partially sheathed and to combinations of panels.
