Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONVisual stress-grades of lumber manufactured in North America have evolved

3、 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 ofTest Methods D 2555.The clear wood values of Test Methods D 2555 were developed from tests of small c

4、lear 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 c

5、ommerciallumber 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 evaluating the data and assigning allowable propertiesto both tested an

6、d 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 assigning allowable stress and modulus ofelasticity values to dimens

7、ion 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 procedures used in thispractice is that the samples selected and tested

8、 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 entire growth range ofa species or species group. Every effort shal

9、l be made to ensurethe test sample is representative of population by grade andsize (see 7.1.1 and 7.1.2).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 modulus ofelasticity val

10、ues 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 Lumber PS20-70.NOTE 1In

11、 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 This standard does

12、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.

(38 mm) thick by 7.25 in. (184 mm) wide by 144 in.(3.658 m) in length at 15 %

20、moisture content.3.2.2 characteristic valuethe population mean, median ortolerance limit value estimated 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 developm

21、ent of allowable stressand modulus of elasticity values. Typically for structural visualgrades, standardized 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

22、 data at the standardizedconditions, its appropriateness shall be demonstrated. (SeePractice D 2915 for 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 g

For other species (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 deve

24、lopment of these procedureswere as described in the grading rules for Douglas Fir-Larch, Hem-Fir andSouthern Pine from the United States, and Spruce-Pine-Fir, Douglasfir(N), and Hem-Fir(N) from Canada (1, 2, 3, and 4)4.

The grade quality index is a scalingparameter which allows modeling of strength and mo

26、dulus ofelasticity with respect to grade (Note 4).NOTE 4In the North American In-Grade test program, lumber 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 ty

27、pe of failure indicated bythe failure code (see Test Methods D 4761). Strength ratios were calcu-lated according 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 ben

28、ding. Thesample grade quality index for each sample was calculated as thenonparametric five percentile point 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 gr

Samples collected in this manner areintended to represent the full range of strength and modulus ofelasticity values normally found within a grade.3.2.5 sampling matrixthe collective designation used todescribe all of the individual test cells.

These procedures apply to the testedand untested sizes and grades when an adequate data matrix ofsizes a

In addition, the methodology forestablishing allowable stress and modulus of elasticity 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

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

Stress grading systems used with thispractice shall be internally consistent and continuous (Note 6).NOTE 6To be considered internally consistent, a grading systemshould 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 Pra
