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Standards may also be withdrawn.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
Australia web site 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 Australian Standard, has a full listing of
revisions and amendments published each month.
We also welcome suggestions for the improvement in our Standards, and especially
encourage readers to notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or
ambiguities. Contact us via email at [email protected], or write to the Chief
Executive, Standards Australia International Ltd, PO Box 1055, Strathfield, NSW
2135.

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) Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
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 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) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i) Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii) These lintels are not designed to support concentrated loads.
iii) Lintels to internal wall openings supporting floor loads only shall be sized as bearers.
iv) Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof or floor 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) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20(b).
ix) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
x) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
