| Name | Dowel-Bearing Strength of Wood and Wood-Base Products |
| Test Designation | Standard Test Method for Evaluating Dowel-Bearing Strength of Wood and Wood-Based Products |
| ASTM | D-5764 |
| Test ID | W005 |
| Sample Type | Wood |
| Scope | This ASTM test method provides the basic procedure for evaluating dowel-bearing strength of wood and wood-based products. The bearing test results are used to determine the static load resistance and deformation characteristics of connections in wood and wood-base products resulting from the application of a load transmitted by a fastener inserted into a predrilled hole, or driven without drilling. Methods are given for preparing specimens with predrilled holes larger than the fastener diameter and specimens with holes produced by inserting fasteners in holes smaller than the fastener diameter. The methods apply to fasteners such as dowels, bolts, nails, spikes, drift pins, screws, lag screws, and staples. |
