Methods of test for ancillary components for masonry - Part 5: Determination of tensile and compressive load capacity and load displacement characteristics of wall ties (couplet test); German version EN 846-5:2012
Prüfverfahren für Ergänzungsbauteile für Mauerwerk - Teil 5: Bestimmung der Zug- und Drucktragfähigkeit sowie der Steifigkeit von Mauerankern (Steinpaar-Prüfung); Deutsche Fassung EN 846-5:2012
Overview
This standard specifies the couplet method for determining the tensile and compressive load capacity and load displacement characteristics of wall ties embedded in mortar joints. The test is intended for ties used for connecting together two leaves of masonry and for the mortar-bedded end of ties for connecting masonry to other structures. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-06-04 AA "Prüfverfahren (Sp CEN/TC 125/WG 4)" ("Test methods (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 125/WG 4)") at DIN.
