ASTM D 2719 determines the shear through-the-thickness properties of structural panels associated with shear distortion of the major axis. Structural panels in use include:
- plywood
- wafer board
- oriented strand board
- composites of veneer
- composites of wood-based layers
- Equipment required
The data obtained using this test method is useful in the design of trusses, box beams, folded plate roofs, roof diaphragms, shear walls, and space plane structures. TestResources provides machines, grips, equipment, and fixtures for testing in accordance with ASTM D2719.
