AS/NZS 1328.1:1998 PDF Download

AS/NZS 1328.1:1998 is a standard that provides guidelines for the performance requirements and minimum production requirements for glued laminated timber members. The standard focuses on ensuring the structural integrity and safety of these timber members in various applications.

The standard sets out the performance requirements for glued laminated timber members, which refer to their ability to withstand applied loads, resist creep, and exhibit desired mechanical properties. This includes criteria for strength, stiffness, and durability to ensure that the timber members can perform as intended over their lifespan.

Additionally, the standard outlines the minimum production requirements for glued laminated timber members. This covers aspects such as the use of appropriate timber species, adhesive type and quality, laminating process, and dimensional tolerances. These requirements are crucial to ensure consistent and reliable production of glued laminated timber members that meet the specified performance criteria.
