31、 the open sides of elevated walkingsurfaces that minimizes the possibility of a fall from the walking surface to a lower level.3.2.3 handraila rail intended for grasping by the hand for guidance or support.3.2.4 plastic lumbera manufactured product made primarily from plastic materials (filled or un

32、filled), typically used as abuilding material, which is usually rectangular in cross-section.3.2.5 quarter-point loadinga flexure test where the load comes in contact with the test specimen at two locations, each ofwhich is located at 14 the span from the specimen load support.3.2.5.1 DiscussionFor

33、example, quarter-point loading for a test specimen on a 24-in. (610-mm) span would have two equal loads contact the testspecimen each located 6 in. in from the test specimen load support. The distance between the two points of load would be 12 in.(305 mm).3.2.6 span ratingan index number that identi

34、fies the test span used in all structural load testing, which is the maximumcenter-to-center support spacing for the specified end use, and allowable design capacity, in pounds per square foot(lbf/ft2 (kNm2), determined in accordance with this specification.3.2.6.1 DiscussionFor example, a deck span

35、 rating of 16100 recognizes the deck board for installation perpendicular to the floor joists spaced amaximum of 16 in. (406 mm) on center, and for supporting the load combinations required by the applicable code, which in thiscase cannot exceed 100 lbf/ft2 (4.79 kN/m2).3.2.7 third-point loadinga fl

36、exure test where the load comes in contact with the test specimen at two locations, each of whichis located at 13 the span from the specimen load support.3.2.7.1 DiscussionFor example, third-point loading for a test specimen on a 24-in. (610-mm) span would have two equal loads contact the testspecim

38、ting shall be representative of the population being evaluated. Sampling shall be representativeof the possible variations due to changes in raw materials and process variables over time. It is essential to consider batch-to-batchand shift-to-shift variability when sampling actual production. Test s

39、pecimens shall be selected from several production runs of a4 Available from American Wood-Preservers Association (AWPA), P.O.

Products shall be sampled at the manufacturing site by an accredited third party inspection agency or testing laboratory.Exceptions to sampling at the manufacturing site, such as at a warehouse or distribution center, shall be documented in the testreport.4.2 Sample SizeS

41、election of a sample size depends upon the property to be estimated, the actual variation in the propertyoccurring in the population, and the precision with which the property is to be estimated. The principles of Practice D2915 shallbe followed. The minimum sample size shall provide estimation of m

42、ean values within 5 % in accordance with 3.4.2 of PracticeD2915.4.3 ConditioningPrior to testing, all specimens shall be conditioned to environmental conditions appropriate for the intendedend use of the product. Alternatively, test specimens shall be conditioned for a minimum of 40 h at 68F 6 4F (2

43、0C 6 2C)and 50 6 5 % RH. If data show that product properties are not affected by extreme moisture conditions, such as submersion, thematerial shall be permitted to be tested without special conditioning. When the product is to be subjected to a water soakenvironment, the test specimens shall be tes

44、ted within 30 min upon removal from the treatment.4.4 Flexural TestsFlexural strength and stiffness shall be determined in accordance with principles of Test Methods D4761or D6109. Alternatively, to assess compliance with performance requirements in its intended installed configuration, the deckboar

45、ds shall be tested according to the two-span method defined in Annex A1. The test specimen cross section shall be theminimum anticipated structural size for the intended end use. The test span shall be that for which code recognition is desired. Thespecimens shall be loaded at a constant strain rate

46、 of 1 % per minute (610 %). Average time to failure for each test configurationshall be recorded (see Commentary, X1.2). A constant strain rate of 1 % per minute is achieved by using a constant rate of testmachine crosshead motion, R, (inches/minute) computed in terms of the test span, L, and the me

47、mber depth, d, by the followingequation:R50.001853L2/d (1)For members where the depth (vertical dimension) is varying along the member length, the depth (d) shall be taken as the grossmember depth at the point of maximum moment.NOTE 2Eq 1 is based on the maximum extreme fiber strain at midspan of a

48、horizontally symmetric simple span member. For a product that issymmetric about its horizontal axis, Eq 1 yields the target strain rate at both the extreme tensile and extreme compressive faces. For a product that is notsymmetric about its horizontal axis, the Eq 1 strain rate is the average of the

49、strains at these faces. See Commentary for additional information.NOTE 3Some wood-plastic composites and plastic lumber exhibit exceptionally large deformations prior to failure in bending. Users are cautionedto take particular care in test machine set-up to accommodate large deflections, both in terms of deflection-measuring devices and support conditions.4.4.1 Flexural StrengthModulus of rupture (MOR) or moment capacity shall be reported for each specimen. Flexural strengthshall be calculated from the maximum load achieved or the
