AS/NZS 5100.6:2017 PDF Download

AS/NZS 5100.6:2017 is a standard that outlines the minimum requirements for the design, fabrication, and erection of structural steelwork in bridges. It provides guidelines for ensuring the safe and efficient construction of bridges using steel and composite materials. The Standard also allows for the examination of wrought and cast iron structures, considering the appropriate material properties and capacity reduction factors included within the Standard.

In addition to the structural steelwork, the Standard also covers the design of various steel components commonly used in bridges, such as steel piers, steel railings, sign structures, and the interaction between steel and concrete composite members. This ensures that all aspects of steel and composite construction in bridges are addressed and meet the necessary safety and performance standards.

By providing comprehensive requirements, AS/NZS 5100.6:2017 ensures that bridge designs using steel and composite construction are structurally sound, durable, and able to withstand the forces and loads exerted on them. It allows for consistent and reliable construction practices, facilitating the development of safe and efficient bridge infrastructure.
