本欧洲标准规定了用于确定承载木结构中用冲压金属板紧固件制成的接头的强度能力和刚度的测试方法，用于在同一平面内连接两个或多个相同厚度的木材。测量的性质是: - 承载滑移特性和由嵌入的突起的横向阻力产生的最大载荷，在施加的力的方向之间的各种角度; - 紧固件的轴线（负载紧固件角度）; - 木材的谷物方向（负荷谷角度）; - 紧固件在各种角度的张力能力 - 紧固件在各种角度的压缩能力。 - 紧固件在各种角度的剪切能力 指甲根检测方法见附件A.

This European Standard specifies the test methods for determining the strength capacity and stiffness of joints made with punched metal plate fasteners in load bearing timber structures, being used to join two or more pieces of timber of the same thickness in the same plane. The properties measured are: - load-slip characteristics and maximum load resulting from the lateral resistance of the embedded projections, at various angles between the direction of the applied force and; - the axis of the fastener (load-fastener angle ); - the direction of the grain of the timber (load-grain angle β); - the tension capacity of the fastener at various angles ; - the compression capacity of the fastener at various angles ; - the shear capacity of the fastener at various angles . A nail root test method is shown in Annex A.
