Resources
Specifies minimum performance requirements and specifications for the manufacture and application of structural plywood, acceptable to users, specifiers, manufacturers, and building authorities in Australia and New Zealand.
Sets out test procedures and criteria for the determination of fire-resistance of elements of building construction.
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.
Specifies product requirements for wet process fibreboard, including hardboard, medium board and softboard.
Provides design values of snow and ice actions for use in structural design; it is intended to be used in conjunction with AS/NZS 1170.0, which gives the procedure for structural design; snow regions are defined and ground snow loads are provided for a range of annual probabilities of exceedance; other factors cover the environment around the structure, the geometry of the structure and the effect of winds on snow distribution.
Proposes procedures for the selection, placement and fixing of Class 1 particleboard flooring complying with AS/NZS 1860.1.
Sets out requirements for the installation of pliable building membranes (also known as ‘sarking’ or ‘underlay’), when used either independently or as a facing to other materials, such as insulation materials, for water control, thermal control, vapour control or air control, or a combination of these control functions.
Sets out requirements for the construction and installation of fire-resistant doorsets that are used to protect openings in walls, and for partitions that are required to resist the passage of fire.
Specifies requirements for the design, construction, and installation of garage doors and other large access doors in external walls of buildings.
Provides a code of practice for the design and acceptance of timber structures and elements, and includes design methods and design data appropriate for commonly encountered structural elements and materials and requirements to be met for specification of the design, installation and maintenance of timber structures.
