Timber Structures Standard
Also Known As:
The NZS 3603:1993 Timber Structures Standard is a set of guidelines that outlines the requirements for the design of timber elements in buildings. The standard adopts a limit state design approach and applies to various types of timber, including sawn timber, glue laminated timber, natural round timber, and construction plywood.
The standard covers a range of design considerations, such as load capacities, structural integrity, and durability of timber elements. It provides designers with essential information and formulas to ensure that timber structures are safe and meet performance requirements.
Additionally, the standard includes a section dedicated to designing for fire resistance. This section details the measures and calculations necessary to enhance the fire resistance of timber structures, ensuring that they can withstand fire conditions for a specified period.
