Describes the couplet method for determining the tensile and compressive load capacity and load displacement characteristics of wall ties embedded in mortar joints.

This European Standard specifies the couplet method for determining the tensile and compressive load capacity and load displacement characteristics of wall ties embedded in mortar joints. The test is intended for ties used for connecting together two leaves of masonry and for the mortar-bedded end of ties for connecting masonry leaves to other structures.
