AS/NZS 2327:2017 PDF Download

This standard, AS/NZS 2327:2017, outlines the necessary requirements for the design, detailing, and construction of composite steel-concrete members in buildings. It covers elements such as beams, columns, slabs, and joints. However, it does not address the design aspects of composite beams and columns that fall under specific conditions. For instance, it excludes cases where the steel section's elements are less than 3 mm thick or the assumed yield stress exceeds 690 MPa. Additionally, the standard does not cover composite structures with a characteristic compressive strength of concrete at 28 days outside the range of 20 MPa to 100 MPa. This standard also explicitly states that it does not apply to the design of composite structures for road or railway bridges, directing users to refer to AS/NZS 5100.6 or the AUSTROADS Bridge Design Code for guidance in those cases.
