AS 5047:2005 PDF Download

The AS 5047:2005 standard outlines the requirements for constructing and structurally supporting hydraulic shoring systems used in groundwork. The standard specifically applies to systems made of steel and aluminum and includes methods of calculation and testing for compliance.

While materials other than steel and aluminum can be used, this standard does not provide assessment methods for equipment made from these materials. The standard also provides information on the characteristics of hydraulically operated pumps, hoses, and associated equipment, but does not cover their assessment.

Assemblies that do not include hydraulic rams can be designed according to the AS 4100 standard. Detailed information on partial safety factors and the application of characteristic resistance values can be found in Appendix A and Appendix B, respectively.
