ASTM D7199-07(2012)

1.1 This practice covers mechanics-based requirements for calculating characteristic values for the strength and stiffness of reinforced structural glued laminated timbers (glulam) manufactured in accordance with applicable provisions of ANSI/AITC A190.1, subjected to quasi-static loadings. It addresses methods to obtain bending properties parallel to grain, about the x-x axis (F_{1.2 The practice also describes a minimum set of performance-based durability test requirements for reinforced glulams, as specified in Annex A1. Additional durability test requirements shall be considered in accordance with the specific end-use environment. 1.3 Characteristic strength and elastic properties obtained using this standard may be used as a basis for developing design values. However, the proper safety, serviceability and adjustment factors including duration of load, to be used in design are outside the scope of this standard.}

1.4 This practice does not cover unbonded reinforcement, prestressed reinforcement, nor shear reinforcement.

1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The mechanics based model may be developed using SI or in.-lb units.

1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
