Sets out the design methods, assumptions and other criteria, including uplift forces and racking pressures, suitable for the design of timber-framed buildings constructed within the limitations and parameters of, and using the building practice described in, AS 1684.2, AS 1684.3 and AS 1684.4.

Sets out requirements for the design of nailplated timber roof trusses for residential and similar building applications in accordance with AS1720.1, AS4055 and the AS(/NZS)1170 series.

Specifies requirements for 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 wind classifications N1 and N2. Also referred to as the timber framing code.

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 National Construction Code; the provisions of this Standard also apply to alterations and additions to such buildings; this Standard is to be used in conjunction with the Supplements to this Standard.

Specifies requirements for the construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas in order to improve their resistance to bushfire attack from burning embers, radiant heat, flame contact and combinations of the three attack forms.

Provides 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 time-framed construction in cyclonic area.

Provides methods for determining characteristics of grouts used in the installation of ceramic tiles.

Specifies requirements for building practice and for 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 in the Building Code of Australia, for non-cyclonic areas; sets out building practice procedures, which are given to assist in the correct specification and design of timber members, bracing and connections thereby minimizing the risk of creating an environment that might adversely affect the ultimate performance of the structure; appendices specify a method of interpolation for Span Tables in the Supplements, and an alternative procedure for determining racking forces; guidance is given on mass of roof, timber natural durability, moisture content, timber species and properties.
