RAIL SHEAR TEST FOR EVALUATING EDGEWISE SHEAR PROPERTIES OF WOOD-BASE PANEL PRODUCTS.

Abstract:

The rail shear test used extensively at the Forest Products Laboratory to determine the edgewise shear strength of wood-base panel products is described and evaluated. Specimens are bolted between two pairs of loading rails, providing a 1- by 10-inch stress area, and the load is applied at a uniform rate. Strain distribution data from the rail shear test agreed with measured and theoretically determined distributions in other shear specimens. This indicates that the rail shear test procedure can accurately predict the performance of hardboard used in full-size structural components. Author
