Sets out minimum requirements for the analysis, design and construction of concrete structures and members which contain reinforcing steel, or prestressing tendons or both, and requirements for plain concrete structures and members; the Standard applies to concrete with a characteristic compressive strength in the range of 20 MPa to 50 MPa and a density in the range 1800 kg/m(sup)3(/sup) to 2800 kgm(sup)3(/sup).

AS 1684.2 2010 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 areas.

Sets out requirements for the design, selection, construction and installation of fixed platforms, walkways, stairways and ladders that are intended to provide safe access to places used by operating, inspection, maintenance and servicing personnel.

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 timber-framed construction in cyclonic areas.

Sets out minimum requirements for the analysis, design and construction of concrete structures and members that contain reinforcing steel up to 500 MPa, prestressing tendons or both, and includes requirements for plain concrete structures and members; design requirements are given for the limit states of stability, strength, serviceability, durability and for resistance requirements to fire and earthquakes; rules are also given for prototype or proof testing of finished members and structures.

Provides designers, engineers and specifiers with the minimum requirements for the design and construction of unreinforced, reinforced and prestressed masonry, including built-in components, for use in masonry applications.

Specifies the minimum requirements for the design and construction of unreinforced, reinforced and prestressed masonry, and the design of wall ties; includes an increased use of performance-type specification of requirements and the virtual work method for the design of unreinforced masonry subject to wind or earthquake loads; it also includes the design and construction of AAC, and provides additional requirements for the design of structures subject to earthquake actions.

Provides guidance on the selection of the fixative and the preparation of the background, and sets out various methods for the fixing of ceramic tiles, based on the type of fixative to be used, for both floor and wall applications.

Sets out requirements for the design and construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas in order to improve their performance when they are subjected to burning debris, radiant heat or flame contact generated from a bushfire.
