Significance and Use5.1 This test method gives a standard procedure for deter-mining structural performance under un

The actualloading on building surfaces is quite complex, varying withwind direction, time, height above ground, building shape,terrain, surrounding structures,

12、 and other factors. These factorsare discussed in the literature in 2.1 and 2.2 and Footnotes 4and 5.NOTE 1In applying the results of tests by this test method, it shouldbe borne in mind that the performance of a cladding system may be afunction of fabrication, installation, and adjustment, and that

Apparatus6.1

17、 The description of apparatus is general in nature; anyequipment capable of performing the test procedure within theallowable tolerances is permitted.6.2 Major Components (see Fig. 1):6.2.1 Test ChamberA test chamber or box with an open-ing, a removable mounting panel, or one open side in which, ora

18、gainst which, the specimen is installed. Care should be takenwhen designing the chamber-to-specimen seal, to avoid edgeconditions not representative of the cladding system beingtested. At least one static pressure tap shall be provided tomeasure the chamber pressure and shall be so located that ther

19、eading is unaffected by the velocity of the air supply to orfrom the chamber, or any other air movement. The air supplyopening into the chamber shall be arranged so that the air doesnot impinge directly on the test specimen. A means of accessinto the chamber may be provided to facilitate adjustments

20、 andobservations after the specimen has been installed.NOTE 2The test chamber and the specimen mounting frame must notdeflect under the test load in such a manner that the performance of thespecimen will be affected.6.2.2 Air SystemA controllable blower, a compressed-airsupply, an exhaust system, or

21、 reversible controllable blowerdesigned to provide the required maximum air-pressure differ-ence across the specimen. The system shall provide an essen-tially constant air-pressure difference for the required testperiod.NOTE 3It is convenient to use a reversible blower or a separatepressure and exha

22、ust system to provide the required air-pressure differ-ence so that the test specimen can be tested for the effect of positivepressure and for the effect of negative pressure without removing,reversing, and reinstalling the test specimen. If an adequate air supply isavailable, a completely airtight

23、seal need not be provided around theperimeter of the test specimen and the mounting panel, although it ispreferable. However, substantial air leakage will require an air supply ofmuch greater capacity to maintain the required pressure differences.6.2.3 Pressure-Measuring ApparatusA device to measure

24、the test pressure difference within an accuracy of 62%.6.2.4 Deflection-Measuring SystemA means of measuringdeflections with an accuracy of 60.025 mm (60.001 in.).6.2.4.1 Stone deflections shall be measured perpendicular tothe stone surface at anchorage locations and at the position ofmaximum displa

25、cement. Additional locations for deflectionmeasurements, if required, shall be stated by the specifier.6.2.4.2 Deflection gages shall be supported independentlyof the cladding system being tested.6.2.4.3 For tests to determine the ultimate performance of aspecimen, deflection-measuring devices with

26、lesser precisionmay be used due to possible destruction of the instruments.7. Hazards7.1 Take proper precautions to protect the observers in theevent of any failure. At the pressures used in this test method,considerable energy and hazard are involved. In cases offailure, the hazard to personnel is

27、less with an exhaust system,as the specimen will tend to blow into the test chamber ratherthan out. Do not permit personnel in such chambers duringtests.8. Test Specimens8.1 Test specimens shall be of sufficient size and extent todetermine the performance of all typical components of thecladding sys

28、tem.8.1.1 All parts of the test specimen shall be full size, usingthe same materials, material finishes, details, and methods ofconstruction, and anchorage as used, or planned to be used, onthe building.8.1.2 Accurately simulate conditions of structural supportback to a reasonably unyielding support

29、.8.2 Test a minimum of five specimens.NOTE 4It should be recognized that performance is likely to be afunction of size and geometry. Therefore, one should select specimenscovering the range of sizes and thicknesses to be used on a building. Ingeneral, the largest size or most heavily loaded of a par

30、ticular design, type,thickness, construction, or configuration to be used should be tested.9. Calibration9.1 Calibration of fluid manometers and dial gage deflectionmeasuring devices is normally not required, provided theinstruments are used at or near their design temperature.Appropriately calibrat

Release the pressure difference across the specimen, andafter a recovery period of not less

36、 than 1 min nor more than 5min at zero load, read and record initial deflection gagereadings.11.2.4 Unless otherwise specified, apply positive pressureequal to the maximum specified test load and maintain for notless than 10 s.

The specifier shall determine the number

39、of increments tobe used in this test method, not to be less than four equalincrements to maximum test load. At each increment, unlessotherwise specified, apply and maintain the test load for notless than 10 s. Read and record deflection gage readings.11.3.3 Reduce the pressure difference to zero, an

41、es may beremoved and the load increased incrementally until the maxi-mum test load or the maximum load that can be sustained isreached, whichever occurs first.11.3.5 Repeat the procedure using negative pressures.12.
