22、rds on timber and wood-based materials can only be obtained if a common technical language is used. Part of such a language is a set of symbols which should be used consistently throughout all timber related standards currently being drafted. ISO 3898 defines standard notations for structural design

23、. It covers only general notations which are necessary for this field of application and excludes notations relevant to a particular material (for example steel, concrete, wood) or to a specific technical field (for example foundations). Because of their anisotropic nature and other special features

24、, timber and wood-based products have a need for a unique set of symbols. The set of symbols in this European Standard tries to fulfil this need. It follows the general principles laid down in ISO 3898, not only for use in the design of timber structures, but also for the detailed aspects necessary

25、for timber in a wide range of standards and other documents. 1 Scope This standard defines a wide range of symbols for use in documents covering solid timber and all wood-based materials. Clause 5 follows the layout of ISO 3898. All the symbols are presented as letter types in alphabetical order. 2

26、Normative references This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from another publication. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publication is listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revision

27、s of this publication apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies. ISO 3898:1987, Bases for design of structures Notations General symbols. 3 Letter types Both upper case (capi

28、tal) and lower case (small) Latin and Greek letters appear in Roman (upright) and Italic (sloping) style, as shown in Table 1.

32、ubstantive symbols this standard uses: Latin upper case Italic; Latin lower case Italic; Greek lower case Italic letters. For subscripts this standard uses: Latin lower case Roman or Italic letters. 4.3 Digits as well as units like N, kg, m, N/mm 2 and mathematical notations like , or shall always b

33、e printed in Roman. 4.4 For subscripts the use of small format letters and numbers is preferred. They shall be printed in Italic if they represent symbols for quantities (e.g.v y ), and in Roman if they represent abbreviations (e.g. f c, 0, k ). 4.5 In subscripts a comma followed by a space is used

34、for separation of different digits, letters, symbols or abbreviations. The comma(s) and the space(s) may be omitted where no confusion is expected. 4.6 The order of the different parts of a subscript is from basic to evaluated as in f ck for the characteristic value of the basic property compressive

35、 strength. 4.7 For mechanical properties of timber and wood-based products used in the design of structures the subscript k is normally used for the fifth percentile values of strength and modulus of elasticity, if this modulus is critical for strength, e.g. in the case of buckling. They are denoted

36、 as f k and E k respectively. Where the E-modulus is used to calculate (mean) values of deformation the mean value can be used, denominated E mean . If so desired, more precise denominations can be used, e.g. f 05 , f 50 , or any other value, to make clear that a52,a5 02 , or another percentile is m

37、eant. 4.8 Free choice between two symbols for one concept has been avoided as far as possible, e.g.: only Q (not V) for variable action; only V (not Q) for shear force. 4.9 Cartesian coordinates for a timber member are defined in Figure 1a). 4.10 Cross-sectional dimensions of a timber member are def

38、ined in Figure 1b). 4.11 The symbols l, t, r,o rx ,y ,zcan be used for glued, laminated timber or for panels, as in Table 3.Page 5 EN 1438:1998 BSI 1998 1) 2) With a subscript if it is necessary to define an imposed load more precisely. 5 Symbols in alphabetical order NOTE Symbols, marked with * in
