This document specifies a test method for determining the comparative compression shear strength of
adhesive bonds and solid wood at both ambient temperature and elevated temperature. The maximum
load of the test pieces at ambient temperature and after exposure to a specific elevated temperature for
a specified duration of time is evaluated. It is applicable to adhesives used in load bearing timber
structures and to other wood adhesives.
This method is intended primarily to obtain performance data for the influence of elevated
temperatures on the behaviour of adhesive bonds.
This method is not intended to provide data for structural design, and does not necessarily represent
the performance of the bonded element in service.Cross References:EN 14080:2013EN 923ASTM D 7247All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
