This series groups together the current parts to Australian Standard, AS 1684 Residential timber-framed construction, available in the BIG library.
The AS 1684 series is a set of Australian standards that provides guidelines for the design and construction of timber-framed buildings. These standards cover various aspects of timber construction, including structural requirements, material specifications, and best practices for assembly. The AS 1684 series is crucial for ensuring that timber-framed structures are safe, durable, and compliant with building codes.
Current Standards
Part of the AS 1684 series, 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.
AS 1684.4:2024, part of the AS 1684 series, provides the building industry with procedures that can be used to determine building practice, to design or check construction details, and to determine member sizes, and bracing and fixing requirements for timber-framed construction in non-cyclonic wind classifications N1 and N2.
This Standard, part of the AS 1684 series, specifies requirements for building practice and the selection, placement and fixing of the various structural elements used in the construction of timber-framed Class 1 and Class 10 buildings as defined by the National Construction Code; provisions also apply to alterations and additions to such buildings; to be used in conjunction with the Supplements.
