5.4.2.2.2 Shear testThe tests shall be carried out under normal environmental conditions on panel sections withsingle anchors without edge and spacing effects.The special anchor shall be installed as specified by the applicant. The shear load shall beapplied on the fixing without eccentricity and without exposure to moments (Figure 10).Figure 10 - Example of test of fixingThe loading speed shall be adjusted so that the failure occurs in 1 minute +/- 30 seconds.Per test series at least 5 tests shall be performed.5.4.2.2.3 Tests with combined tension and shear loadingThe tests shall be carried out under normal environmental conditions on panel sections withsingle anchors without edge and spacing effects.The special anchor shall be installed as specified by the applicant.The direction of load shall correspond to an angle of 30° and 60° relative to the plane of thepanel (Figure 11).The diameter of the supporting ring shall be changed (for example between Ø 50 and 350mm) in order to find out the diameter d ref where the failure mode changes from pull-out of thefixing element or cone failure to bending failure of the test specimenPer test series at least 5 tests shall be performed.ETAG 03444
