Standard Test Method for
Resistance to Deformation Under Static Loading for
Structural Wood Laminating Adhesives Used Under Exterior
(Wet Use) Exposure Conditions1

This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3535; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of the last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1. Scope

1.1 This test method covers adhesives suitable for the
bonding of wood, including treated wood, into structural
laminated wood products for general construction, marine
use, or for other uses where a high-strength general construction, deformation-resistant, the waterproof adhesive bond is required.

1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

3.1 Definitions:

3.1.1 glulam, n—a synonym for structural-glued-laminated
timber.

3.1.2 structural-glued-laminated timber, n— an engineered,
stress-rated product of a timber laminating plant comprising
assemblies of specially selected and prepared wood laminations securely bonded together with adhesives, with the following characteristics: (1) the grain of all laminations is
approximately parallel longitudinally; and (2) the laminations
maybe comprised of pieces end-joined to form any length, of
pieces placed or glued edge-to-edge to make wider ones or of
pieces bent to curved form during glueing. (Synonym glulam)
