This Standard sets out a method for determining the indirect tensile strength of standard concrete cylinders, prepared in accordance with AS 1012.8.1.

This Method describes a procedure for determining the rate and magnitude of consolidation of soil when it is restrained laterally and loaded and drained axially, using either manual loading or automated equipment. It gives the most reliable results when used on saturated clay soils.

This Standard provides general requirements and information for the methods in the AS 1289 series. It provides the following: (a) A list of related documents. (b) Definitions. (c) General requirements for apparatus used in a number of the methods and a list of Standards with which that apparatus is required to comply. (d) Soil groups for use in a number of the methods and related provisions.

Specifies methods for sampling and testing timber for moisture content by oven drying and by use of an electrical resistance moisture meter. Correction figures for a large number of Australian, New Zealand and imported species, seasoned, unseasoned and treated, are provided.

This Standard sets out the method for determining the ability of a smoke/heat release vent to operate and remain free from visible damage when exposed to wind of specific velocity.

This Standard describes the method for determining the withdrawal force required to remove tufts from a textile floor covering.

This Standard describes the procedure for determining total pile mass per unit area by complete dissection of textile floor coverings. The total pile mass per unit area can be expressed at its equilibrium condition or in terms of clean conditioned mass at agreed commercial allowances.

This Standard specifies a method for the measurement of the thickness of pile above the backing of a textile floor covering and is applicable to all textile floor coverings having a pile of cut or looped yarn. Where areas of different construction or thickness exist, these should be tested separately if possible. This method is non-destructive of the floor covering specimen and is useful particularly for production control in manufacture and for measurements on installed carpets.

This Standard sets out the method for determining, by proven chemical methods, the required composition of cement.

This Standard sets out a method for the preparation of concrete mixes in the laboratory.
