Methods of test for ancillary components for masonry - Part 7: Determination of shear load capacity and load displacement characteristics of shear ties and slip ties (couplet test for mortar joint connections); German version EN 846-7:2012
Prüfverfahren für Ergänzungsbauteile für Mauerwerk - Teil 7: Bestimmung der Schubtragfähigkeit und der Steifigkeit von Mauerverbindern (Steinpaar-Prüfung in Mörtelfugen); Deutsche Fassung EN 846-7:2012
Overview
This document specifies the couplet method for determining the horizontal and vertical shear load resistance and load-deflection behaviour of shear ties and slip ties embedded in mortar joints. The test is intended for ties for connecting together two leaves of masonry forming a collar jointed wall or two walls at right angles. It also applies to ties used for connecting the edges of infill panel walls to frames which encircle them. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-06-04 AA "Prüfverfahren (SpA zu CEN/TC 125/WG 4)" ("Test methods (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 125/WG 4)") at DIN.
