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 specimen

Thispractice also covers procedures for periodic monitoring, andadditional procedures, if needed, for evaluation and possiblereassessment of assigned design values. This practice is fo-cused on, but is no

7、t limited to, grades which used the conceptsincorporated in Practice D245 and were developed and inter-preted under American Softwood Lumber PS 20.1.2 A basic assumption of the procedures used in thispractice is that the samples selected and tested are representa-tive of the entire global population

8、 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 shall be made to ensurethe test sample is representative

9、 of population by grade andsize (see 7.1.1 and 7.1.2).1.3 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 and untested grade/size cells is necessary.Sampling and an

10、alysis of tested cells are covered in PracticeD2915. The mechanical test methods are covered in TestMethods D198 and D4761. This practice covers the necessaryprocedures for assigning allowable stress and modulus ofelasticity values to dimension lumber from In-Grade tests. Thepractice includes method

11、s to permit assignment of allowablestress and modulus of elasticity values to untested sizes andgrades, as well as some untested properties.

Typically for structural visual grades,standardiz

22、ed conditions are 73F (23C), and 15 % moisturecontent (Note 3).Anonparametric estimate of the characteristicvalue is the preferred estimate. If a distributional form is usedto characterize the data at the standardized conditions, itsappropriateness shall be demonstrated. (See Practice D2915 forguida

For other species (see N

24、omen-clature D1165) 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 andSouthern P

26、ecimens 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, lumberprod

27、uced in accordance with visual stress grading rules (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and6) developed from the procedures of Practice D245 was sampled. For eachtest specimen a strength ratio was calculated for the particular type offailure indicated by the failure code (see Test Methods D4761). Strengthratios were ca

28、lculated according to the formulas given in the appendix ofPractice D245 for bending and compression parallel to grain test speci-mens. Strength ratios for lumber tested in tension were calculated as forbending. The sample grade quality index for each sample was calculatedas the nonparametric five p

Specimens which failed in clear wood were excluded fromthe sample for determining the sample GQI.3.2.4 In-Gradesamples collected from lumber grades ascommercially produced.3.2.4.1 DiscussionSamples collected in this manner areintended t

Significance and Use4.1 The procedures described in this practice are intended tobe used to establish allowable stress and modulus of elasticityvalues for solid sawn, visually graded dimension lumber fromIn-Grade

42、type test data. 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 elasticity valuesfor combinations of species and species groups is covered.Allowable

43、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 test cell are coveredin Practice D2915. The appropriateness of these methods

44、toestablish allowable stress and modulus of elasticity values isdirectly dependent upon the quality and representativeness ofthe input test data.4.3 A monitoring program shall be established to periodi-cally review the continued applicability of allowable propertiesderived by this practice. A monito

45、ring program will establishdata sets that are either the same as, above, or below the datathat was used to develop the current allowable properties.Upon detection of a statistically significant downward shift,evaluation of the data and confirmation of remedial actionsshall be undertaken. When evalua

46、tion is not undertaken or theresults of the evaluation indicate an adjustment to allowableproperties is appropriate, a reassessment shall be conducted tore-establish allowable properties.NOTE 5It is recognized that over time there is the potential forchanges in the raw material or product mix. In re

47、sponse to this amonitoring program must be conducted to ensure design values derived bythis practice are not invalidated by such changes. If the data collected witha monitoring provides evidence of an statistically significant downwardshift in lumber properties an evaluation program in accordance wi

48、th theprocedures of this practice is needed to detect and confirm that responsesto such changes are appropriate. Evaluation, if undertaken, provides ameans for responding to the data and assessing if the actions taken aresufficient. Following the confirmation of a statistically significant down-ward

49、 shift, reassessment of values shall be conducted if evaluation iseither not undertaken or does not adequately address the downward shift.5.
