Designation:D565221Standard Test Methods forSingle-Bolt Connections in Wood and Wood-BasedProducts1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5652;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 These test methods cover procedures for evaluating thestrength and stiffness of single-bolt connections in wood orwood-based products when subjected to short-term staticloading.These test methods serve as a basis for determining theeffects of various factors on the strength and stiffness of theconnection.Long-term loading and creep displacement char-acteristics are outside the scope of this protocol.1.2 These test methods are intended for situations employ-ing a smooth shank bolt with a constant diameter.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D2395 Test Methods for Density and Specific Gravity(Rela-tive Density)of Wood and Wood-Based MaterialsD2915 Practice for Sampling and Data-Analysis for Struc-tural Wood and Wood-Based ProductsD4442 Test Methods for Direct Moisture Content Measure-ment of Wood and Wood-Based MaterialsE4 Practices for Force Verification of Testing MachinesE2309/E2309M Practices for Verification of DisplacementMeasuring Systems and Devices Used in Material TestingMachinesF606/F606M Test Methods for Determining the MechanicalPropertiesofExternallyandInternally ThreadedFasteners,Washers,Direct Tension Indicators,and Rivets2.2 Federal Specification:Fed.Spec.FF-W-92 for Washers,Metal,Flat(Plain)2.3 Other Standards:NDS ANSI/AWC National Design Specification for WoodConstruction3.Summary of Test Methods3.1 Specimens consisting of at least one wood or wood-based member fastened with one bolt to at least one othermember of any material are evaluated for capacity to resistcompressive or tensile forces applied at a constant speed ofdisplacement with a suitable testing machine.The slip,ordisplacement,of the connection at various intervals of loadingis measured.Supplementary physical properties of the wood orwood-based members are also determined.4.Significance and Use4.1 Connections are one of the most important componentsin wood construction.While the strength of metal bolts and ofwood or wood-based products are ascertainable,a full evalu-ation of the performance of the combination is only possiblethrough the testing of a complete connection assembly.Suchvariables as member thickness,member width,end and edgedistances,type of bolt,fabrication tolerances,moisture contentof the wood or wood-based product,preservative or fire-retardant treatment of the wood or wood-based product,species of wood,and/or material type and orientation ofwood-based material may affect connection behavior.In orderto develop design criteria for established bolt types as well asthose under development,the effect of these variables onconnection strength and stiffness must be known.The testsdescribed herein permit the observation of data on the strengthand stiffness of wood or wood-based connections,or both,under the influence of any or all of these factors.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D07 onWood and are the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D07.05 on Wood Assem-blies.Current edition approved March 15,2021.Published April 2021.Originallyapproved in 1995.Last previous edition approved in 2015 as D5652 15.DOI:10.1520/D5652-21.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organi
