SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF THE EUROPEAN TECHNICAL APPROVAL Definition of product and intended use

post bases type R20, R30, R40; R50, R60; R80, R90, S10, S20, S30 and RI40 larger distances are allowed. Annex B states the load-carrying capacities of the post bases for solid timber of strength class C24 according to EN 338:2003-09. Thus, when solid timber of strength class C20 is used, the characteristic load-carrying capacities of timber should be reduced by a factor of 0,9. The design of the connections shall be in accordance with Eurocode 3 and Eurocode 5 or a similar national code. The anchorage of the post base in the foundation (except for type M70) and imperfections exceeding the assumptions in Eurocode 5, 5.4.4 are not part of this ETA. The post bases are for use in timber structures subject to the service classes 1, 2 and 3 of Eurocode 5 and for connections subject to static or quasi-static loading. The corrosion protection is given by stainless steel or zinc coating with minimum thickness of 55 m according to EN1461, or by equivalent measures. The metal fasteners must also be of stainless steel or have a zinc coating for the intended use in service class 3 of EN 1995-1-1 (zinc coating Fe/Zn 25c according to EN ISO 2081). Assumed working life The assumed intended working life of concealed beam hangers for the intended use is 50 years, provided that they are subject to appropriate use and maintenance. The information on the working life should not be regarded as a guarantee provided by the manufacturer or ETA Danmark. An assumed intended working life means that it is expected that, when this working life has elapsed, the real working life may be, in normal use conditions, considerably longer without major degradation affecting the essential requirements.

Definition of the product The Rotho Blaas post bases are made of 2.0 mm to 8.0 mm thick steel plates. The post bases are produced of steel grade S235JR according to EN 10025-2:2005-04 with a minimum characteristic yield strength of ReH = 235 N/mm and a minimum characteristic tensile strength of Rm = 360 N/mm or of steel grade 1.4301 according to EN 10088-3:2005-09 with a minimum characteristic yield strength of Rp0,2 = 190 N/mm and a minimum characteristic tensile strength of Rm = 500 N/mm. For the connections with metal fasteners bolts 10 mm, screws HBS+/GHS+ 8x60 mm according to EN 14592 and srews HBS+/GHS+ 8x40 mm with minimum characteristic tensile strength of Rm = 360 N/mm are used. The screws shall be driven into pre-drilled holes according to EN 19951-1, 10.4.5. The outer diameter for washers of bolts shall be not less than 3dB, where dB is the diameter of the bolts. The thickness shall be not less than 0,3dB. For anchorage in the foundation reinforcement bars or steel profiles are used. Dimensions are shown in Annex A and B. Intended use The intended use of the post bases is the support of timber columns and posts as load-bearing elements, where requirements for mechanical resistance and stability and safety in use in the sense of the Essential Requirements 1 and 4 of Council Directive 89/106/EEC shall be fulfilled. The static and kinematical behaviour of the timber members or the supports shall be as described in Annex B. The timber posts may be of solid timber of strength class C20 or better according to EN 338:2003-09. Minimum dimensions for the post have to be considered (Annex A). The end grain of the timber post in general must be plane on the base plate of the post base. Post bases type M20 and M50 have a clearance between the end grain of the timber post and the base plate due to the geometry of the post bases. In order to avoid fungal attack due to permanent high moisture content, the end grain of timber posts with contact or only a very small distance to the foundation (post bases type F10, F20, F30, F40, FD30, FD50, FD60, M30 and M70) should be protected from humidity by other means. The maximum distance between the foundation and the base plate of the post base shall in general be 100 mm. For

*) See page 5 of this ETA **) In accordance with http://europa.eu.int-/comm/enterprise/construction/internal/dangsub/dangmain.htm In addition to the specific clauses relating to dangerous substances contained in this European Technical Approval, there may be other requirements applicable to the products falling within its scope (e.g. transposed European legislation and national laws, regulations and administrative provisions). In order to meet the provisions of the EU Construction Products Directive, these requirements need also to be complied with, when and where they apply.

Page 5 of 53 of European Technical Approval no. ETA-10/0422 Safety principles and partial factors The characteristic load-carrying capacities are based on the characteristic values of the connections with metal fasteners, the steel plates, the timber post and the foundation (only for type M70). In the case of timber failure or failure of the metal fasteners, the design values shall be calculated according to EN 1995-1-1 by dividing the characteristic values of the load-carrying capacities by different partial factors for the strength properties, and in addition multiplied with the coefficient kmod. In the case of steel failure, the design value shall be calculated according to EN 1993-1-1 by reducing the characteristic values of the load-carrying capacity with different partial factors. In the case of foundation failure, the design value shall be calculated according to EN 1997-1 by reducing the characteristic values of the load-carrying capacity with different partial factors. The design value of the load-carrying capacity is the smaller value of all load-carrying capacities: F F F k FRd = min mod Rk,H ; Rk,S ; Rk,B M,H Mi,S Ri,B Therefore, for timber failure or failure of the metal fasteners the load duration class and the service class are included. The different partial factors M for steel, timber or foundation failure, respectively, are also correctly taken into account. 2.1 Mechanical resistance and stability See Annex B for the characteristic load-carrying capacity in the different directions F1 to F5 for solid timber of strength class C24 according to EN 338:2003-09. Solid timber of strength class C20 may be included by a reducing factor of 0,9 for the characteristic load-carrying capacity of timber. Using the load-carrying capacities of the post bases, the specifications in Annex A must be fulfilled. The end grain of the timber post must in general be plane on the base plate of the post base Post bases type M20 and M50 have a clearance between the end grain of the timber post and the base plate due to the geometry of the post bases. The characteristic capacities of the post bases are determined by calculation according to Eurocode 3 and Eurocode 5. They should be used for designs in accordance with Eurocode 3 and Eurocode 5 or a similar national code. For post base type M70 the characteristic capacities of the foundation are determined by calculation according to Eurocode 7 on condition that following soil characteristics are provided: bulk density =18 kN/m3, angle of shearing resistance =30, cohesion c=5 kN/m2. The characteristic capacities of post bases type R10 and R30 were determined by using test results of Holzforschung Austria. No performance has been determined in relation to ductility of a joint under cyclic testing. The contribution to the performance of structures in seismic zones, therefore, has not been assessed. No performance has been determined in relation to the joints stiffness properties - to be used for the analysis of the serviceability limit state. No performance has been determined in relation to the anchorage of the post bases in the foundation (except for type M70). It must be checked by the designer of the structure to ensure it is not less than the post base capacity and, if necessary, the post base capacity reduced accordingly. Therefore the specifications for the lever arms eF2/F3 (for load case F2 / F3) and eF4/F5 (for load case F4 / F5) in annex A have to be considered. The lever arm is the distance between the top edge of the foundation and the load. No performance has been determined in relation to ductility of a joint under cyclic testing. The contribution to the performance of structures in seismic zones, therefore, has not been assessed. No performance has been determined in relation to the joints stiffness properties - to be used for the analysis of the serviceability limit state.

2.7 Related aspects of serviceability 2.7.1 Corrosion protection in service class 1 and 2. In accordance with ETAG 015 the requirement is a zinc coating weight of min. 275 g/m2. In accordance with ETAG 015 the post bases are made from steel grade S235JR according to EN 10025-2:2005-04 with minimum characteristic yield strength of ReH = 235 N/mm and a minimum characteristic tensile strength of Rm = 360 N/mm with a zinc coating with minimum thickness of 55 m according to EN1461, or by equivalent measures. 2.7.2 Corrosion protection in service class 3 In accordance with ETAG 015 the requirement is a zinc coating of steel post bases is Fe/Zn 25c. This requirement is fulfilled by post bases with a corrosion protection hot-dip galvanized of approximately 55 m according to EN ISO 1461:1999 or stainless steel grade 1.4301 according to EN 10088-3:2005-09 with a minimum characteristic yield strength of Rp0,2 = 190 N/mm and a minimum characteristic tensile strength of Rm = 500 N/mm.

4 Assumptions under which the fitness of the product for the intended use was favourably assessed
4.1 Manufacturing Rotho Blaas post bases are manufactured in accordance with the provisions of this European Technical Approval using the manufacturing processes as identified in the inspection of the plant by the notified inspection body and laid down in the technical documentation. 4.2 Installation The stated type of fasteners for each post base has to be applied in applicable holes in the post base. The installation instructions to be followed are: The timber post - shall be restrained against rotation, and supported at the lower and upper end - shall be strength class C20 according to EN 338:2003-09 or better, see section 3 of this evaluation report - shall be free from wane in the post base - must fulfil the requirements regarding minimum dimensions (see Annex A) - end grain must in general be plane on the base plate of the post base; post bases type M20 and have a clearance between the end grain of the timber post and the base plate of the post base due to the geometry of the post bases. The actual end bearing capacity of the timber member to be used in conjunction with the post base is checked by the designer of the structure to ensure it is not less than the post base capacity and, if necessary, the post base capacity reduced accordingly. To provide for constructive wood preservation, appropriate measures should be taken to protect the end grain of timber posts with contact or little distance to the foundation (post bases type F10, F20, F30, F40, FD30, FD50, FD60, M30 and M70). There are no specific requirements relating to preparation of the timber members. The maximum distance between the foundation and the base plate of the post base shall in general be 100 mm. For post bases type R20, R30, R40; R50, R60; R80, R90, S10, S20, S30 and RI40 larger distances are allowed. In case of post base type M70 the characteristic capacities of the foundation are determined by

calculation according to Eurocode 7 on condition that following soil characteristics are provided: bulk density =18 kN/m3, angle of shearing resistance =30, cohesion c=5 kN/m2. The anchorage of the post base in the foundation except for post base type M70 - is not part of this ETA. It must be checked by the designer of the structure to ensure it is not less than the post base capacity and, if necessary, the post base capacity reduced accordingly. Therefore the specifications for the lever arms eF2/F3 (for load case F2 / F3) and eF4/F5 (for load case F4 / F5) in Annex A have to be considered. The lever arm is the distance between the top edge of the foundation and the load The secondary structural member the concrete support - to which the post bases are fixed shall be: Made from concrete of at least strength class C15, unless otherwise is indicated in annex B of this ETA.

To ensure sufficient capacity the designer has to take into account splitting of the timber. The timber member shall be free from wane. There shall be no gap between the timber and the horizontal contact area Otherwise the gap between the timber member and the post base may not exceed 3 mm. The execution of the connection shall be in accordance with the approval holders technical literature.

4.3 Maintenance and repair Maintenance is not required during the assumed intended working life. Should repair prove necessary, it is normal to replace the post base.
