This Standard incorporates Amendments No. 1 (April 2000), No. 2 (October 2000), No. 3 (May 2001) and No. 4 (May 2002). The changes required by the Amendments are indicated in the text by a marginal bar and amendment number against the clause, note, table, figure, or part thereof affected.
This Standard is the result of a consensus among Australian and New Zealand representatives on the Joint Committee to produce it as an Australian Standard.
The objective of this Standard is to provide the building industry with procedures that can be used to determine building practice, to design or check construction details, and to determine member sizes, and bracing and fixing requirements for timber-framed construction in non-cyclonic areas.
First published as AS 056-1946. Second edition 1948. Revised and redesignated as AS CA38-1971. Revised and redesignated as AS 1684-1975. Second edition 1979. Third edition 1992. Revised and redesignated in part as AS 1684.2-1999.
This Standard specifies requirements for building practice and the selection, placement and fixing of the various structural elements used in the construction of timber-framed Class 1 and Class 10 Buildings as defined by the Building Code of Australia and within the limitations given in Clause 1.6. The Standard also applies to alterations and additions to these buildings.
This Standard also provides building practice and procedures, which assist in the correct specification and determination of timber members, bracing and connections, thereby minimizing the risk of creating an environment which might adversely affect the ultimate performance of the structure.
Reference is made to the Span Tables in the Supplements throughout this Standard. The Supplements are an integral part of, and shall be used in conjunction with, this Standard. This Standard may also be applicable to the design and construction of other classes of buildings where the design criteria, loadings and other parameters applicable to those classes of building are within the limitations of this Standard.
NOTES:
1: See AS 1684.1 for details of design criteria, loadings and other parameters.
2: Whilst this Standard can be used to design Class 10 buildings, less conservative levels of design for this building class may be permitted by building regulations and other Australian Standards.
