NZS 3124:1987 PDF Download

NZS 3124:1987 is a standard that outlines the minimum requirements for the construction of reinforced and unreinforced concrete in minor works. It applies to various construction projects, including buildings of light timber frame construction within the scope of NZS 3604 and concrete masonry construction within the scope of NZS 4229. However, it does not provide specific requirements for concrete construction that will be exposed to aggressive environments.

This standard serves as a guideline for ensuring the quality and durability of concrete structures in minor works. It specifies the procedures for concrete mixing, placing, and curing, as well as the requirements for reinforcement, formwork, and finishing. By complying with this standard, construction professionals can ensure that their concrete constructions meet the minimum performance and safety standards.

It is important to note that this standard does not cover concrete constructions that will be subjected to aggressive environments. This means that additional considerations and requirements will need to be followed for such projects to ensure the durability of the concrete in corrosive conditions.
