3、ess-grades of lumber manufactured in North America have evolved from the proceduresof Practice D 245.Allowable stress and modulus of elasticity values were determined for these gradesusing the procedures of Practice D 245 and the appropriate clear wood values of Test Methods D 2555.The clear wood va

4、lues of Test Methods D 2555 were developed from tests of small clear 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 permi

5、ts rapid rates of loading to test large numbers of pieces from commerciallumber production. These tests can be carried out at the production sites or in a laboratory.1. Scope1.1 Due to the number of specimens involved and thenumber of mechanical properties to be evaluated, a methodol-ogy for evaluat

6、ing the data and assigning allowable propertiesto both tested and untested grade/size cells is necessary.Sampling and analysis of tested cells are covered in PracticeD 2915. The mechanical test methods are covered in TestMethods D 198 and D 4761. This practice covers the necessaryprocedures for assi

7、gning allowable stress and modulus ofelasticity values to dimension lumber from In-Grade tests. Thepractice includes methods to permit assignment of allowablestress and modulus of elasticity values to untested sizes andgrades, as well as some untested properties.1.2 A basic assumption of the procedu

8、res used in thispractice is that the samples selected and tested are representa-tive of the entire global population being evaluated. Thisapproach is consistent with the historical clear wood method-ology of assigning an allowable property to visually-gradedlumber which was representative of the ent

9、ire growth range ofa species or species group. Every effort shall be made to ensurethe representativeness of the test sample.1.3 This practice covers the principles and procedures forestablishing allowable stress values for bending, tension par-allel to grain, compression parallel to grain and modul

10、us ofelasticity values for structural design from “In-Grade” tests offull-size visually graded solid sawn dimension lumber. Thispractice is focused on, but is not limited to, grades which usedthe concepts incorporated in Practice D 245 and were devel-oped and interpreted under American Softwood Lumb

11、er PS20-70.NOTE 1In the implementation of the North American In-Grade testprogram, allowable stress values for compression perpendicular to grainand shear parallel to grain for structural design were calculated using theprocedures of Practice D 245.1.4 This practice only covers dimension lumber.1.5

12、This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Docum

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 For definitions of terms related to wood, refer toTerminology D9.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 characteristic sizethe standard dimensions of thepiece at which the characterist

18、ic value is calculated (Note 2).NOTE 2In the North American In-Grade program, the characteristicsize used was 1.5 in. (38 mm) thick by 7.25 in. (184 mm) wide by 144 in.(3.658 m) in length at 15 % moisture content.3.2.2 characteristic valuethe population mean, median ortolerance limit value estimated

19、 from the test data after it hasbeen adjusted to standardized conditions of temperature, mois-ture content and characteristic size. The characteristic value isan intermediate value in the development of allowable stressand modulus of elasticity values. Typically for structural visualgrades, standard

20、ized conditions are 73F (23C), and 15 %moisture content (Note 3). A nonparametric estimate of thecharacteristic value is the preferred estimate. If a distributionalform is used to characterize the data at the standardizedconditions, its appropriateness shall be demonstrated. (SeePractice D 2915 for

21、guidance on selection of distribution.)NOTE 3The described adjustment factors and allowable stress andmodulus of elasticity value assignment procedures were developed basedon test data of visual grades of major volume, commercially availableNorth American softwood species groups. For other species (

22、see Nomen-clature D 1165) and for other grading methods, it may be necessary toverify that the listed adjustments are applicable. The commercial speciesgroups and grading criteria used in the development of these procedureswere as described in the grading rules for Douglas Fir-Larch, Hem-Fir andSout

23、hern Pine from the United States, and Spruce-Pine-Fir, Douglasfir(N), and Hem-Fir(N) from Canada (1, 2, 3, and 4)5. The specific speciesgroupings, together with botanical names are given in NomenclatureD 1165.3.2.3 grade quality index (GQI)A numerical assessmentof the characteristics found in the sa

24、mple specimens which areconsidered to be related to strength and are limited as part ofthe grade description. The grade quality index is a scalingparameter which allows modeling of strength and modulus ofelasticity with respect to grade (Note 4).NOTE 4In the North American In-Grade test program, lum

25、ber pro-duced in accordance with visual stress grading rules developed from theprocedures of Practice D 245 was sampled. For each test specimen astrength ratio was calculated for the particular type of failure indicated bythe failure code (see Test Methods D 4761). Strength ratios were calcu-lated a

26、ccording to the formulas given in the appendix of Practice D 245for bending and compression parallel to grain test specimens. Strengthratios for lumber tested in tension were calculated as for bending. Thesample grade quality index for each sample was calculated as thenonparametric five percentile p

27、oint estimate of the distribution of strengthratios. Specimens which failed in clear wood were excluded from thesample for determining the sample GQI.3.2.4 In-Gradesamples collected from lumber grades ascommercially produced. Samples collected in this manner areintended to represent the full range o

The sampling matrix isintended to characterize the property trends for a range ofgrades for a single size or a range of sizes for

Significance and Use4.1 The procedures described in this practice are intended tobe used to establish allowable stress and modulus of ela

These procedures apply to the testedand untested sizes and grades when an adequate data matrix ofsizes and grades exists. In addition, the methodology forestablishing allowable stress and modulus of elasticit

32、y valuesfor combinations of species and species groups is covered.Allowable stress and modulus of elasticity values may also bedeveloped for a single size or a single grade of lumber from testdata.4.2 Methods for establishing allowable stress and modulusof elasticity values for a single size/grade t

33、est cell are coveredin Practice D 2915. The appropriateness of these methods toestablish allowable stress and modulus of elasticity values isdirectly dependent upon the quality and representativeness ofthe input test data.4.3 A review and reassessment of values derived from thispractice shall be con

34、ducted if there is cause to believe that therehas been a significant change in the raw material resource orproduct mix. If a change is found to be significant, retesting orre-evaluation, or both, in accordance with the procedures ofthis practice may be needed.3Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Vol 14.0

Development of Stress Grades6.1 Stress grades for lumber are designed to separate theraw m

47、aterial source into marketable groups of specific qualitylevels to which allowable stress and modulus of elasticityvalues can be assigned. Stress grading systems used with thispractice shall be internally consistent and continuous (Note 6).NOTE 6To be considered internally consistent, a grading syst

48、emshould not be based on two or more methods of determining an allowableproperty. A continuous system should not skip levels of material strength.For example, the North American In-Grade test program sampled gradeswhich were developed using the stress ratio system of Practice D 245 (seeRefs 1, 2, 3,

49、 and 4).7. Minimum Sampling Matrix7.1 General ConsiderationsDevelopment of allowablestress and modulus of elasticity values under this practice maybe for either a single size (7.3) or a single grade (7.2) or a fullmatrix of sizes and grades (7.4). The required sampling matrixis determined by the desired end result. The intent of a samplematrix is to provide sufficient data across the sizes or grades, orboth, to permit interpolation between data points. Extrapolationbeyond the sample matrix may be misleading and therefore isnot recommended. Assignment of allow
