Specifies the design criteria and sets out guidance for use in the design of earth-retaining structures, for use by engineers and designers.
Provides the procedure for structural design; includes design procedures, reference to design actions (other parts of the series), combinations of actions, detailing for robustness, methods of analysis and methods for confirmation of a limit states design; also covers the use of special studies and experimental testing and, for New Zealand, criteria for selection of annual probability of exceedance.
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.
Sets out requirements for construction using Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (Reinforced AAC) members conforming with AS 5146.1 and AS 5146.2, including associated fixings, flashings and control joints; does not cover the construction of structures consisting of unreinforced autoclaved aerated concrete blocks.
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.
Sets out the requirements for materials, design, installation and testing of roof drainage systems, surface drainage systems and subsoil drainage systems to a point of connection.
This code of practice applies to the principal safety issues associated with tilt-up and pre-cast construction; it includes basic guidance on casting of panels, panel lifting and rigging systems, propping and securing of panels and work at height associated with panels and other pre-cast concrete elements; it does not consider all issues in this type of construction but focuses on the primary safety issues; this code of practice does not discuss pre-tensioning and post-tensioning of concrete elements.
Provides practical guidance for persons conducting a business or undertaking on how to manage risks associated with respirable crystalline silica (RCS) exposure in construction work; manufacturing of construction elements.
Provides practical guidance to persons conducting a business or undertaking on how to comply with their health and safety duties when carrying out construction work involving formwork including high risk construction work.
Provides practical guidance to persons conducting a business or undertaking on how to comply with their health and safety duties when carrying out construction work involving concrete pumping.
