LOADING STANDARDS – BD/6 COMMITTEE

AS/NZS 1170 Series – Structural Design Actions


During 2002 Standards Australia published the following parts and Commentary Supplement of the abovementioned Standard.
  • AS/NZS 1170.0 General Principles
  • AS/NZS 1170.1 Permanent, Imposed and Other Actions
  • AS/NZS 1170.2 Wind Actions
  • AS/NZS 1170.3 Snow and Ice Actions

AS/NZS 1170.4 Earthquake Action is currently in Pre Postal Ballot Committee form and is scheduled to be published in mid 2003.

Because of the confusion of separate parts being published at different times, Amendment 12 of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) allows the use of the 1989 edition of AS 1170 until such a time when all revised parts are fully published – they will then be incorporated into a future BCA amendment, most likely Amendment 14 – 1 January 2004.
