AS/NZS 4673:2001 PDF Download

AS/NZS 4673:2001 is a standard that establishes the minimum design requirements for cold-formed stainless steel structures used for load-bearing purposes in buildings. The standard applies to structural members formed from annealed or temper-rolled stainless steel sheet, strip, plate, or flat bar. It also provides guidelines for structures other than buildings, as long as proper considerations are made for dynamic effects.

According to AS/NZS 4673:2001, stainless steels are defined as steel alloys containing a minimum of 10.5% chromium and up to 1.2% carbon. These steels exhibit excellent corrosion resistance and are ideal for structural applications where durability is crucial. The standard ensures that the design of cold-formed stainless steel structures complies with the specified requirements, guaranteeing the structural integrity and safety of the constructed buildings or structures.
