Keeping Standards up-to-date

Standards are living documents which reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and
new editions are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves
they are using a current Standard, which should include any amendments which
may have been published since the Standard was purchased.
Detailed information about Standards can be found by visiting the Standards Web
Shop at www.standards.com.au and looking up the relevant Standard in the on-line
catalogue.
Alternatively, the printed Catalogue provides information current at 1 January each
year, and the monthly magazine, The Global Standard, has a full listing of revisions
and amendments published each month.
Australian StandardsTM and other products and services developed by Standards
Australia are published and distributed under contract by SAI Global, which
operates the Standards Web Shop.
We also welcome suggestions for improvement in our Standards, and especially
encourage readers to notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or
ambiguities. Contact us via email at mail@standards.org.au, or write to the Chief
Executive, Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
vi)
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
vi)
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m 2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix)
When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 (including ceiling
joists)and a maximum tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The
mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1, G.I. strapping or similar restraint is to be provided to the top edge of the beam at beam ends. Refer to
Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
iv)
Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the strutting/counter beam, the average of the spans may be used.

Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the strutting points and at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv)
A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of ceiling joist, ceiling
lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

Standards Australia
Standards Australia is an independent company, limited by guarantee, which prepares and publishes
most of the voluntary technical and commercial standards used in Australia. These standards are
developed through an open process of consultation and consensus, in which all interested parties are
invited to participate. Through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commonwealth government,
Standards Australia is recognized as Australias peak national standards body. For further information
on Standards Australia visit us at

Australian Standards
Australian Standards are prepared by committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers
and other relevant sectors. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are
a consensus of the views of representative interests and also take account of comments received from
other sources. They reflect the latest scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept
under continuous review after publication and are updated regularly to take account of changing
technology.
International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring that the Australian viewpoint is considered in the
formulation of international Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in
national Standards. This role is vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets.
Standards Australia represents Australia at both ISO (The International Organization
for Standardization) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
Electronic Standards
All Australian Standards are available in electronic editions, either downloaded individually from our web
site, or via On-Line and DVD subscription services. For more information phone 1300 65 46 46 or visit
