3、olved from the proceduresof Practice D245. Allowable stress and modulus of elasticity values were determined for these gradesusing the procedures of Practice D245 and the appropriate clear wood values of Practice D2555. Theclear wood values of Practice D2555 were developed from tests of small clear
4、specimens.Development of allowable stress and modulus of elasticity values from tests of full-size structurallumber as commercially produced and marketed has become possible with the development of suitabletest equipment that permits rapid rates of loading to test large numbers of pieces from commer
5、ciallumber production. These tests can be carried out at the production sites or in a laboratory.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers the principles and procedures for establishing allowable stress values for bending, tension parallel tograin, compression parallel to grain and modulus of elasticity valu
6、es for structural design from “In-Grade” tests of full-size visuallygraded solid sawn dimension lumber. This practice also covers procedures for periodic monitoring, and additional procedures, ifneeded, for evaluation and possible reassessment of assigned design values.This practice is focused on, b
7、ut is not limited to, gradeswhich used the concepts incorporated in Practice D245 and were developed and interpreted underAmerican Softwood Lumber PS20.1.2 A basic assumption of the procedures used in this practice is that the samples selected and tested are representative of theentire global popula
8、tion being evaluated. This approach is consistent with the historical clear wood methodology of assigning anallowable property to visually-graded lumber which was representative of the entire growth range of a species or species group.Every effort shall be made to ensure the test sample is represent
9、ative of population by grade and size (see 7.1.1 and 7.1.2).1.3 Due to the number of specimens involved and the number of mechanical properties to be evaluated, a methodology forevaluating the data and assigning allowable properties to both tested and untested grade/size cells is necessary. Sampling
10、 andanalysis of tested cells are covered in Practice D2915. The mechanical test methods are covered in Test Methods D198 and D4761.This practice covers the necessary procedures for assigning allowable stress and modulus of elasticity values to dimension lumberfrom In-Grade tests. The practice includ
11、es methods to permit assignment of allowable stress and modulus of elasticity values tountested sizes and grades, as well as some untested properties. The practice includes procedures for periodic monitoring of thespecies or species group to quantify potential changes in the product and verification
12、 of the assigned design values through,evaluation, and reassessment.NOTE 1In the implementation of the NorthAmerican In-Grade test program, allowable stress values for compression perpendicular to grain and shearparallel to grain for structural design were calculated using the procedures of Practice

23、acteristic size.3.2.2.1 DiscussionThe characteristic value is an intermediate value in the development of allowable stress and modulus of elasticity values. Typicallyfor structural visual grades, standardized conditions are 73F (23C), and 15 % moisture content (Note 3). A nonparametricestimate of th
24、e characteristic value is the preferred estimate. If a distributional form is used to characterize the data at thestandardized conditions, its appropriateness shall be demonstrated. (See Practice D2915 for guidance on selection of distribution.)NOTE 3The described adjustment factors and allowable st
25、ress and modulus of elasticity value assignment procedures were developed based on testdata of visual grades of major volume, commercially available North American softwood species groups. For other species (see Nomenclature D1165)and for other grading methods, it may be necessary to verify that the
26、 listed adjustments are applicable. The commercial species groups and grading criteriaused in the development of these procedures were as described in the grading rules for Douglas Fir-Larch, Hem-Fir and Southern Pine from the UnitedStates, and Spruce-Pine-Fir, Douglas fir(N), and Hem-Fir(N) from Ca

28、 grade description. The grade quality index is a scaling parameterwhich allows modeling of strength and modulus of elasticity with respect to grade (Note 4).NOTE 4In the NorthAmerican In-Grade test program, lumber produced in accordance with visual stress grading rules (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) develop
29、edfrom the procedures of Practice D245 was sampled. For each test specimen a strength ratio was calculated for the particular type of failure indicated bythe failure code (see Test Methods D4761). Strength ratios were calculated according to the formulas given in the appendix of Practice D245 for be
30、ndingand compression parallel to grain test specimens. Strength ratios for lumber tested in tension were calculated as for bending. The sample grade qualityindex for each sample was calculated as the nonparametric five percentile point estimate of the distribution of strength ratios. Specimens which

Significance and Use4.1 The procedures described in this practice are intended to be used to establish allowable stress and modulus of elasticityvalues for solid sawn, visually graded dimension lumber from In-Grade type test data. These procedures apply to the tested andunte
44、sted sizes and grades when an adequate data matrix of sizes and grades exists. In addition, the methodology for establishingallowable stress and modulus of elasticity values for combinations of species and species groups is covered. Allowable stress andmodulus of elasticity values may also be develo
45、ped for a single size or a single grade of lumber from test data.4.2 Methods for establishing allowable stress and modulus of elasticity values for a single size/grade test cell are covered inPractice D2915. The appropriateness of these methods to establish allowable stress and modulus of elasticity
46、 values is directlydependent upon the quality and representativeness of the input test data.4.3 Amonitoring program shall be established to periodically review the continued applicability of allowable properties derivedby this practice. A monitoring program will establish data sets that are either t
47、he same as, above, or below the data that was usedto develop the current allowable properties. Upon detection of a statistically significant downward shift, evaluation of the data andconfirmation of remedial actions shall be undertaken. When evaluation is not undertaken or the results of the evaluat
48、ion indicatean adjustment to allowable properties is appropriate, a reassessment shall be conducted to re-establish allowable properties.NOTE 5It is recognized that over time there is the potential for changes in the raw material or product mix. In response to this a monitoring programD1990 163must
49、be conducted to ensure design values derived by this practice are not invalidated by such changes. If the data collected with a monitoring providesevidence of an statistically significant downward shift in lumber properties an evaluation program in accordance with the procedures of this practice isneeded to detect and confirm that responses to such changes are appropriate. Evaluation, if undertaken, provides a means for responding to the data andassessing if the actions taken are sufficient. Following the confirmation of a statistically significant d
