Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at

NOTES
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 and a maximum total tile roof, framing
and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
Jamb studs for opening in internal load bearing walls shall be as per Table 10.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.1.4.
vii) Where roof loads are supported only on studs supporting concentrated loads, posts or jamb studs, the internal walls can be classified as non-loadbearing walls.
Refer Clause 6.3.5.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m 2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix)
When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to
Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 (including ceiling
joists)and a maximum tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1, G.I. strapping or similar restraint is to be provided to the top edge of the beam at beam ends. Refer to
Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iv)
Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the strutting/counter beam, the average of the spans may be used.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.22.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2.
For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
These lintels are not designed to support concentrated loads.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting floor loads only shall be sized as bearers.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof or floor loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20(b).
ix)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
x)
When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

Australian Standards
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to
Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 19.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix)
When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.

vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 (including ceiling
joists)and a maximum tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The
mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1, G.I. strapping or similar restraint is to be provided to the top edge of the beam at beam ends. Refer to
Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iv)
Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the strutting/counter beam, the average of the spans may be used.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.23.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the strutting points and at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv)
A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of ceiling joist, ceiling
lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.24.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 (including ceiling
joists)and a maximum tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The
mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1, G.I. strapping or similar restraint is to be provided to the top edge of the beam at beam ends. Refer to
Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iv)
Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the strutting/counter beam, the average of the spans may be used.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.23.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 . For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the strutting points and at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv)
A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of ceiling joist, ceiling
lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2.
For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
These lintels are not designed to support concentrated loads.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting floor loads only shall be sized as bearers.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof or floor loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20(b).
ix)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
x)
When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i) Maximum bearer spans supporting roof loads are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling
mass of 40 kg/m2, a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40
kg/m2. For guidance on determination of roof mass, refer to Appendix A.
ii) Cantilevers shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end support and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous members. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 50 mm at end supports
and 100 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For designed parameters, refer to Figure 4.6.
vi) Where loadbearing walls are supported at right angles to bearer within the bearer span, reference should be made to Clause
4.3.1.5.
vii) Where bearers support roof point loads, reference should be made to Clause 4.3.1.6.

NOTES:
i) Maximum floor joist spans supporting roof loads are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass
of 40 kg/m2, maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2.
ii) A roof road width of 0 shall be used for floor joist not supporting roof loads..
iii) The sizes given in this table are not suitable where heavy point loads, except those allowed by Clause 4.3.2.4, are supported
within the joist span.
iv) For the lower storey of two storey construction, floor joists shall not support roof or upper floor loads within their span.
v) Where the ends of joist do not support roof loads, the joist may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size used, except
that the cantilever shall not exceed 50% of the actual backspan.
vi) Joists crippled over supports shall be considered as single span joists. Refer Clause 2.7.5.4.
vii) Where joist size D/B >4, restraint may be required. Refer Clause 4.2.2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.9.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, and a
maximum tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii) Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv) Jamb studs for opening in internal load bearing walls shall be as per Table 10.
v) Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.14.
vii) Where roof loads are supported only on studs supporting concentrated loads, posts or jamb studs, the internal walls can be
classified as non-loadbearing walls. Refer Clause 6.3.5.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5 kN per stud or laminate
where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate
may be a minimum 35 mm deep.
iii) Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined
strutting/hanging beams or girder trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate
stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv) Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v) Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be
determined using the tie-down spacing of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate
may be a minimum 35 mm deep.
iii) Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined
strutting/hanging beams or girder trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate
stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv) Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v) Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be
determined using the tie-down spacing of 0 in the table.

guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii) Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv) Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values, where applicable, indicate the minimum additional
bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix) When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be
expected.

NOTES:
i) Maximum lintel spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel
and the size determined from the sheet roof section.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values, where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing
length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be
expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the
lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to
either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A. The mass of ceiling joists and
hanging beams is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii) Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam
depth, whichever is greater.
iii) Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the counter beam, the
average of the spans may be used.
iv) Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
v) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.21.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral
roof. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii) Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member.
Overhang shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iv) Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v) Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof or roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof and ceiling
mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Allowable overhangs are based on no birdsmouth or notching. Overhangs shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports and 70 mm at internal supports for continuous members. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm at end supports
and 75 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.29.

NOTES:
i) Maximum bearer spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on
roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where the ends of bearers do not support roof loads, the bearers may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size
used except that the cantilevers are not to be greater than 50% of the actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end supports and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous spans. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 50 mm at end supports
and 100 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.6(b).

NOTES:
i) Maximum bearer spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on
roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where the ends of bearers do not support roof loads, the bearers may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size
used except that the cantilevers are not to be greater than 50% of the actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end supports and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous spans. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 50 mm at end supports
and 100 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.6(b).

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii) Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv) For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v) Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate
where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i) Maximum lintel spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, and a
maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) These lintels are not designed to support concentrated loads.
iii) Lintels to internal wall openings supporting floor loads only shall be sized as bearers.
iv) Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof or floor loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values, where applicable, indicate the minimum additional
bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20(b).
ix) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
x) When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15 mm (live load) may be
expected.

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i) Maximum bearer spans supporting roof loads are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling
mass of 40 kg/m2, a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40
kg/m2. For guidance on determination of roof mass, refer to Appendix A.
ii) Cantilevers shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end support and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous members. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 50 mm at end supports
and 100 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For designed parameters, refer to Figure 4.6.
vi) Where loadbearing walls are supported at right angles to bearer within the bearer span, reference should be made to Clause
4.3.1.5.
vii) Where bearers support roof point loads, reference should be made to Clause 4.3.1.6.

NOTES:
i) Maximum floor joist spans supporting roof loads are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass
of 40 kg/m2, maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2.
ii) A roof road width of 0 shall be used for floor joist not supporting roof loads..
iii) The sizes given in this table are not suitable where heavy point loads, except those allowed by Clause 4.3.2.4, are supported
within the joist span.
iv) For the lower storey of two storey construction, floor joists shall not support roof or upper floor loads within their span.
v) Where the ends of joist do not support roof loads, the joist may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size used, except
that the cantilever shall not exceed 50% of the actual backspan.
vi) Joists crippled over supports shall be considered as single span joists. Refer Clause 2.7.5.4.
vii) Where joist size D/B >4, restraint may be required. Refer Clause 4.2.2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.9.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, and a
maximum tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii) Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets..
iv) Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vi) All stud walls shall be nogged at not greater than 1350 mm centres.
vii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5 kN per stud or laminate
where they are nail laminated.
viii) Notches for diagonal braces shall be per Clause 6.2.1.4.

i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate
may be a minimum 35 mm deep.
iii) Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined
strutting/hanging beams or girder trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate
stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv) Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v) Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be
determined using the tie-down spacing of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate
may be a minimum 35 mm deep.
iii) Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined
strutting/hanging beams or girder trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate
stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv) Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v) Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be
determined using the tie-down spacing of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i) Maximum lintel spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel
and the size determined from the sheet roof section.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values, where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing
length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be
expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the
lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to
either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60
kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span
calculations.
ii) Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the
strutting points and at beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii) Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv) A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of
ceiling joist, ceiling lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v) Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.24.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral
roof. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii) Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member.
Overhang shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iv) Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v) Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof or roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof and ceiling
mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Allowable overhangs are based on no birdsmouth or notching. Overhangs shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports and 70 mm at internal supports for continuous members. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm at end supports
and 75 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.29.

NOTES:
i) Maximum bearer spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on
roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where the ends of bearers do not support roof loads, the bearers may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size
used except that the cantilevers are not to be greater than 50% of the actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end supports and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous spans. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm at end supports
and 75 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.6(b).

Standards Australia
Standards Australia develops Australian Standards and other documents of public benefit and national interest.
These Standards are developed through an open process of consultation and consensus, in which all interested
parties are invited to participate. Through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commonwealth Government,
Standards Australia is recognized as Australias peak non-government national standards body. Standards Australia
also supports excellence in design and innovation through the Australian Design Awards.

Australian Standards
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i) Maximum floor joist spans supporting roof loads are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass
of 40 kg/m2, maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2.
ii) A roof road width of 0 shall be used for floor joist not supporting roof loads..
iii) The sizes given in this table are not suitable where heavy point loads, except those allowed by Clause 4.3.2.4, are supported
within the joist span.
iv) For the lower storey of two storey construction, floor joists shall not support roof or upper floor loads within their span.
v) Where the ends of joist do not support roof loads, the joist may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size used, except
that the cantilever shall not exceed 50% of the actual backspan.
vi) Joists crippled over supports shall be considered as single span joists. Refer Clause 2.7.5.4.
vii) Where joist size D/B >4, restraint may be required. Refer Clause 4.2.2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.9.

maximum tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where studs supporting concentrations of load occur in external walls, they shall be installed in addition to common studs.
iii) For studs supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be one half of the ceiling area supported by the beam and the size
determined from the sheet roof section.
iv) Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.13.
vi) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate
where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate
may be a minimum 35 mm deep.
iii) Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined
strutting/hanging beams or girder trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate
stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv) Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v) Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be
determined using the tie-down spacing of 0 in the table.

guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii) Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv) Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values, where applicable, indicate the minimum additional
bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix) When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be
expected.

NOTES:
i) Maximum lintel spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii) Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv) Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values, where applicable, indicate the minimum additional
bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix) When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be
expected.

NOTES:
i) Maximum lintel spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel
and the size determined from the sheet roof section.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values, where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing
length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be
expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the
lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to
either end of the strutting beam.

iv) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be
expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the
lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed
to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 (including
ceiling joists)and a maximum tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix A. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii) Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1, G.I. strapping or similar restraint is to be provided to the top edge of the beam at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii) Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iv) Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the strutting/counter beam, the average of the spans may be used.
v) Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.23.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60
kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span
calculations.
ii) Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the
strutting points and at beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii) Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv) A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of
ceiling joist, ceiling lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v) Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.24.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral
roof. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii) Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member.
Overhang shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iv) Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v) Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof or roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof and ceiling
mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Allowable overhangs are based on no birdsmouth or notching. Overhangs shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports and 70 mm at internal supports for continuous members. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm at end supports
and 75 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.29.

NOTES:
i) Maximum bearer spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on
roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where the ends of bearers do not support roof loads, the bearers may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size
used except that the cantilevers are not to be greater than 50% of the actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end supports and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous spans. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm at end supports
and 75 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.6(b).

NOTES:
i) Maximum bearer spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on
roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where the ends of bearers do not support roof loads, the bearers may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size
used except that the cantilevers are not to be greater than 50% of the actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end supports and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous spans. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 50 mm at end supports
and 100 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.6(b).

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii) Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv) For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v) Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate
where they are nail laminated.

maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii) Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv) For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v) Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate
where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where floor joists are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the stud, the top
plate may be a minimum of 35 mm deep.
iii) Where plates support concentrated floor loads, the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load
(refer to Tables 38 or 39).
iv) Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm.
v) Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19(b).

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m 2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix)
When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to
Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the strutting points and at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv)
A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of ceiling joist, ceiling
lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.24.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Bearer Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where the ends of bearers do not support roof loads, the bearers may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size used except that the cantilevers are not to
be greater than 50% of the actual backspan.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end supports and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous spans.
iv)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For design parameters refer to Figure 4.6(b).

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the strutting points and at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv)
A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of ceiling joist, ceiling
lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.24.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m 2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
These lintels are not designed to support concentrated loads.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting floor loads only shall be sized as bearers.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof or floor loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20(b).
ix)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
x)
When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

Australian Standards
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum floor joist spans supporting roof loads are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , maximum total tile
roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2.
ii)
A Roof Load Width of 0 shall be used for floor joist not supporting roof loads.
iii)
The sizes given in this table are not suitable where heavy point loads, except those allowed by Clause 4.3.2.4, are supported within the joist span.
iv)
For the lower storey of two storey construction, floor joists shall not support roof or upper floor loads within their span.
v)
Where the ends of joist do not support roof loads, the joist may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size used, except that the cantilever shall not exceed
50% of the actual backspan.
vi)
Joists crippled over supports shall be considered as single span joists. Refer Clause 2.7.5.4.
vii) Where joist size D/B > 4 restraint may be required. Refer Clause 4.2.2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.9.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix)
When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to
Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 (including ceiling
joists)and a maximum tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1, G.I. strapping or similar restraint is to be provided to the top edge of the beam at beam ends. Refer to
Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iv)
Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the strutting/counter beam, the average of the spans may be used.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.22.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Bearer Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where the ends of bearers do not support roof loads, the bearers may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size used except that the cantilevers are not to
be greater than 50% of the actual backspan.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end supports and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous spans.
iv)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For design parameters refer to Figure 4.6(b).

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where the bottom plate is continuously supported by a concrete slab or solid nogging or where wall studs are directly in line with floor joist, the bottom plate may be
a minimum of 35 mm deep.

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum floor joist spans supporting roof loads are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , maximum total tile
roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2.
ii)
A Roof Load Width of 0 shall be used for floor joist not supporting roof loads.
iii)
The sizes given in this table are not suitable where heavy point loads, except those allowed by Clause 4.3.2.4, are supported within the joist span.
iv)
For the lower storey of two storey construction, floor joists shall not support roof or upper floor loads within their span.
v)
Where the ends of joist do not support roof loads, the joist may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size used, except that the cantilever shall not exceed
50% of the actual backspan.
vi)
Joists crippled over supports shall be considered as single span joists. Refer Clause 2.7.5.4.
vii) Where joist size D/B > 4 restraint may be required. Refer Clause 4.2.2.3.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. and a maximum tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where studs supporting concentrations of load occur in external walls, they shall be installed in addition to common studs.
iii)
For studs supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be one half of the ceiling area supported by the beam and the size determined fromthe sheet roof
section.
iv)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
v)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.13.
vi)
Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 and a maximum total tile roof, framing
and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where the bottom plate is continuously supported by a concrete slab or solid nogging or where wall studs are directly in line with floor joist, the bottom plate may be
a minimum of 35 mm deep.
iii)
Where bottom plates support studs supporting concentrated loads, posts or jamb studs, the load shall be supported directly over a floor joist or over solid blocking
between plate and bearer.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 . For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the strutting points and at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv)
A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of ceiling joist, ceiling
lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
COPYRIGHT
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.24.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

Standards Australia
Standards Australia develops Australian Standards and other documents of public benefit and national interest.
These Standards are developed through an open process of consultation and consensus, in which all interested
parties are invited to participate. Through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commonwealth Government,
Standards Australia is recognized as Australias peak non-government national standards body. Standards Australia
also supports excellence in design and innovation through the Australian Design Awards.
For further information visit www.standards.org.au

Australian Standards
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to
Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 (including ceiling
joists)and a maximum tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1, G.I. strapping or similar restraint is to be provided to the top edge of the beam at beam ends. Refer to
Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iv)
Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the strutting/counter beam, the average of the spans may be used.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.22.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

Australian Standards
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum floor joist spans supporting roof loads are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , maximum total tile
roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2.
ii)
A Roof Load Width of 0 shall be used for floor joist not supporting roof loads.
iii)
The sizes given in this table are not suitable where heavy point loads, except those allowed by Clause 4.3.2.4, are supported within the joist span.
iv)
For the lower storey of two storey construction, floor joists shall not support roof or upper floor loads within their span.
v)
Where the ends of joist do not support roof loads, the joist may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size used, except that the cantilever shall not exceed

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 plus a ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 and a maximum tile roof mass of
60 kg/m2 plus a ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters, underpurlins and ceiling joists
etc. is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1, G.I. strapping or similar restraint is to be provided to the top edge of the beam at beam ends. Refer to
Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iv)
Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the strutting/counter beam, the average of the spans may be used.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.23.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the strutting points and at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv)
A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of ceiling joist, ceiling
lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.24.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

Australian Standards
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum floor joist spans supporting roof loads are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , maximum total tile
roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2.
ii)
A Roof Load Width of 0 shall be used for floor joist not supporting roof loads.
iii)
The sizes given in this table are not suitable where heavy point loads, except those allowed by Clause 4.3.2.4, are supported within the joist span.
iv)
For the lower storey of two storey construction, floor joists shall not support roof or upper floor loads within their span.
v)
Where the ends of joist do not support roof loads, the joist may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size used, except that the cantilever shall not exceed
50% of the actual backspan.
vi)
Joists crippled over supports shall be considered as single span joists. Refer Clause 2.7.5.4.
vii) Where joist size D/B > 4 restraint may be required. Refer Clause 4.2.2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.9.

NOTES
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m 2. and a maximum tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not greater than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m 2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix)
When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum ceiling mass of
12 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
The mass of ceiling joists and hanging beams is accommodated in the
span calculations.
ii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of
the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iii)
Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the counter
beam, the average of the spans may be used.
iv)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
v)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 7.21.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m 2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
These lintels are not designed to support concentrated loads.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting floor loads only shall be sized as bearers.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof or floor loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20(b).
ix)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
x)
When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

Australian Standards
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m 2. and a maximum tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not greater than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m 2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix)
When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 (including ceiling
joists)and a maximum tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The
mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1, G.I. strapping or similar restraint is to be provided to the top edge of the beam at beam ends. Refer to
Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iv)
Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the strutting/counter beam, the average of the spans may be used.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.23.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the strutting points and at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv)
A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of ceiling joist, ceiling
lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.24.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2.
For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
These lintels are not designed to support concentrated loads.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting floor loads only shall be sized as bearers.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof or floor loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20(b).
ix)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
x)
When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

Australian Standards
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. and a maximum tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not greater than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 and a maximum total tile roof, framing
and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
Jamb studs for opening in internal load bearing walls shall be as per Table 11.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.15.
vii) Where roof loads are supported only on studs supporting concentrated loads, posts or jamb studs, the internal walls can be classified as non-loadbearing walls.
Refer Clause 6.3.5.
viii) Notches for diagonal braces shall be as per Clause 6.2.1.4.
ix)
Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix)

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to
Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 19.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix)
When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 . For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the strutting points and at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv)
A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of ceiling joist, ceiling
lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.24.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

Standards Australia
Standards Australia develops Australian Standards and other documents of public benefit and national interest.
These Standards are developed through an open process of consultation and consensus, in which all interested
parties are invited to participate. Through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commonwealth Government,
Standards Australia is recognized as Australias peak non-government national standards body. Standards Australia
also supports excellence in design and innovation through the Australian Design Awards.

Australian Standards
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to
Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 19.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix)
When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 (including ceiling
joists)and a maximum tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The
mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1, G.I. strapping or similar restraint is to be provided to the top edge of the beam at beam ends. Refer to
Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iv)
Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the strutting/counter beam, the average of the spans may be used.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.23.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 . For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the strutting points and at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv)
A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of ceiling joist, ceiling
lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.24.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
These lintels are not designed to support concentrated loads.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting floor loads only shall be sized as bearers.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof or floor loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20(b).
ix)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.

Australian Standards
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix)
When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 (including ceiling
joists)and a maximum tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1, G.I. strapping or similar restraint is to be provided to the top edge of the beam at beam ends. Refer to
Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iv)
Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the strutting/counter beam, the average of the spans may be used.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.22.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 . For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the strutting points and at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv)
A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of ceiling joist, ceiling
lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

Standards Australia
Standards Australia develops Australian Standards and other documents of public benefit and national interest.
These Standards are developed through an open process of consultation and consensus, in which all interested
parties are invited to participate. Through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commonwealth Government,
Standards Australia is recognized as Australias peak non-government national standards body. Standards Australia
also supports excellence in design and innovation through the Australian Design Awards.

Australian Standards
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i) Maximum floor joist spans supporting roof loads are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass
of 40 kg/m2, maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2.
ii) A roof road width of 0 shall be used for floor joist not supporting roof loads..
iii) The sizes given in this table are not suitable where heavy point loads, except those allowed by Clause 4.3.2.4, are supported
within the joist span.
iv) For the lower storey of two storey construction, floor joists shall not support roof or upper floor loads within their span.
v) Where the ends of joist do not support roof loads, the joist may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size used, except
that the cantilever shall not exceed 50% of the actual backspan.
vi) Joists crippled over supports shall be considered as single span joists. Refer Clause 2.7.5.4.
vii) Where joist size D/B >4, restraint may be required. Refer Clause 4.2.2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.9.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, and a
maximum tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii) Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets..
iv) Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vi) All stud walls shall be nogged at not greater than 1350 mm centres.
vii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5 kN per stud or laminate
where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, and a
maximum tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii) Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv) Jamb studs for opening in internal load bearing walls shall be as per Table 10.
v) Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.14.
vii) Where roof loads are supported only on studs supporting concentrated loads, posts or jamb studs, the internal walls can be
classified as non-loadbearing walls. Refer Clause 6.3.5.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5 kN per stud or laminate
where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 and a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii) Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv) Jamb studs for opening in internal load bearing walls shall be as per Table 11.
v) Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.15.
vii) Where roof loads are supported only on studs supporting concentrated loads, posts or jamb studs, the internal walls can be
classified as non-loadbearing walls. Refer Clause 6.3.5.
viii) Notches for diagonal braces shall be as per Clause 6.2.1.4.
ix) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate
where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate
may be a minimum 35 mm deep.
iii) Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined
strutting/hanging beams or girder trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate
stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv) Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v) Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be
determined using the tie-down spacing of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate
may be a minimum 35 mm deep.
iii) Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined
strutting/hanging beams or girder trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate
stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv) Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v) Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be
determined using the tie-down spacing of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i) Maximum lintel spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii) Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv) Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values, where applicable, indicate the minimum additional
bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix) When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be
expected.

NOTES:
i) Maximum lintel spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii) Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv) Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values, where applicable, indicate the minimum additional
bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix) When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be
expected.

viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the
lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to
either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60
kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span
calculations.
ii) Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the
strutting points and at beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii) Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv) A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of
ceiling joist, ceiling lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v) Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.24.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral
roof. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii) Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member.
Overhang shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iv) Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v) Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof or roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof and ceiling
mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Allowable overhangs are based on no birdsmouth or notching. Overhangs shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports and 70 mm at internal supports for continuous members. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm at end supports
and 75 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.29.

NOTES:
i) Maximum bearer spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on
roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where the ends of bearers do not support roof loads, the bearers may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size
used except that the cantilevers are not to be greater than 50% of the actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end supports and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous spans. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm at end supports
and 75 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.6(b).

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii) Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv) For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v) Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5 kN per stud or laminate
where they are nail laminated.

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i) Maximum bearer spans supporting roof loads are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling
mass of 40 kg/m2, a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40
kg/m2. For guidance on determination of roof mass, refer to Appendix A.
ii) Cantilevers shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end support and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous members. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 50 mm at end supports
and 100 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For designed parameters, refer to Figure 4.6.
vi) Where loadbearing walls are supported at right angles to bearer within the bearer span, reference should be made to Clause
4.3.1.5.
vii) Where bearers support roof point loads, reference should be made to Clause 4.3.1.6.

NOTES:
i) Maximum floor joist spans supporting roof loads are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass
of 40 kg/m2, maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2.
ii) A roof road width of 0 shall be used for floor joist not supporting roof loads..
iii) The sizes given in this table are not suitable where heavy point loads, except those allowed by Clause 4.3.2.4, are supported
within the joist span.
iv) For the lower storey of two storey construction, floor joists shall not support roof or upper floor loads within their span.
v) Where the ends of joist do not support roof loads, the joist may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size used, except
that the cantilever shall not exceed 50% of the actual backspan.
vi) Joists crippled over supports shall be considered as single span joists. Refer Clause 2.7.5.4.
vii) Where joist size D/B >4, restraint may be required. Refer Clause 4.2.2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.9.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, and a
maximum tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii) Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets..
iv) Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vi) All stud walls shall be nogged at not greater than 1350 mm centres.
vii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5 kN per stud or laminate
where they are nail laminated.
viii) Notches for diagonal braces shall be per Clause 6.2.1.4.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, and a
maximum tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii) Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv) Jamb studs for opening in internal load bearing walls shall be as per Table 10.
v) Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.14.
vii) Where roof loads are supported only on studs supporting concentrated loads, posts or jamb studs, the internal walls can be
classified as non-loadbearing walls. Refer Clause 6.3.5.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5 kN per stud or laminate
where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate
may be a minimum 35 mm deep.
iii) Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined
strutting/hanging beams or girder trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate
stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv) Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v) Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be
determined using the tie-down spacing of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate
may be a minimum 35 mm deep.
iii) Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined
strutting/hanging beams or girder trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate
stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv) Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v) Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be
determined using the tie-down spacing of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i) Maximum lintel spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel
and the size determined from the sheet roof section.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values, where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing
length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be
expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the
lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to
either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60
kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span
calculations.
ii) Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the
strutting points and at beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii) Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv) A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of
ceiling joist, ceiling lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v) Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.24.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral
roof. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii) Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member.
Overhang shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iv) Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v) Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof or roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof and ceiling
mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Allowable overhangs are based on no birdsmouth or notching. Overhangs shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports and 70 mm at internal supports for continuous members. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm at end supports
and 75 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.29.

NOTES:
i) Maximum bearer spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on
roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where the ends of bearers do not support roof loads, the bearers may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size
used except that the cantilevers are not to be greater than 50% of the actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end supports and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous spans. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm at end supports
and 75 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.6(b).

i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii) Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv) For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v) Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate
where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii) Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv) For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v) Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5 kN per stud or laminate
where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i) Maximum lintel spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, and a
maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) These lintels are not designed to support concentrated loads.
iii) Lintels to internal wall openings supporting floor loads only shall be sized as bearers.
iv) Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof or floor loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values, where applicable, indicate the minimum additional
bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20(b).
ix) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
x) When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15 mm (live load) may be
expected.

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i) Maximum bearer spans supporting roof loads are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling
mass of 40 kg/m2, a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40
kg/m2. For guidance on determination of roof mass, refer to Appendix A.
ii) Cantilevers shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end support and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous members. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 50 mm at end supports
and 100 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For designed parameters, refer to Figure 4.6.
vi) Where loadbearing walls are supported at right angles to bearer within the bearer span, reference should be made to Clause
4.3.1.5.
vii) Where bearers support roof point loads, reference should be made to Clause 4.3.1.6.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 and a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii) Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv) Jamb studs for opening in internal load bearing walls shall be as per Table 11.
v) Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.15.
vii) Where roof loads are supported only on studs supporting concentrated loads, posts or jamb studs, the internal walls can be
classified as non-loadbearing walls. Refer Clause 6.3.5.
viii) Notches for diagonal braces shall be as per Clause 6.2.1.4.
ix) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate
where they are nail laminated.

i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate
may be a minimum 35 mm deep.
iii) Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined
strutting/hanging beams or girder trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate
stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv) Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v) Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be
determined using the tie-down spacing of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate
may be a minimum 35 mm deep.
iii) Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined
strutting/hanging beams or girder trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate
stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv) Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v) Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be
determined using the tie-down spacing of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i) Maximum lintel spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel
and the size determined from the sheet roof section.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values, where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing
length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be
expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the
lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to
either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60
kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span
calculations.
ii) Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the
strutting points and at beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii) Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv) A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of
ceiling joist, ceiling lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v) Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.24.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral
roof. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii) Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member.
Overhang shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iv) Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v) Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof or roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof and ceiling
mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Allowable overhangs are based on no birdsmouth or notching. Overhangs shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports and 70 mm at internal supports for continuous members. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm at end supports
and 75 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.29.

NOTES:
i) Maximum bearer spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on
roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where the ends of bearers do not support roof loads, the bearers may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size
used except that the cantilevers are not to be greater than 50% of the actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end supports and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous spans. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm at end supports
and 75 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.6(b).

NOTES:
i) Maximum bearer spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on
roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where the ends of bearers do not support roof loads, the bearers may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size
used except that the cantilevers are not to be greater than 50% of the actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end supports and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous spans. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 50 mm at end supports
and 100 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.6(b).

i) Maximum lintel spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, and a
maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) These lintels are not designed to support concentrated loads.
iii) Lintels to internal wall openings supporting floor loads only shall be sized as bearers.
iv) Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof or floor loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values, where applicable, indicate the minimum additional
bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20(b).
ix) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
x) When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15 mm (live load) may be
expected.

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to
Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 19.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix)
When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

Australian Standards
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum floor joist spans supporting roof loads are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , maximum total tile
roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2.
ii)
A Roof Load Width of 0 shall be used for floor joist not supporting roof loads.
iii)
The sizes given in this table are not suitable where heavy point loads, except those allowed by Clause 4.3.2.4, are supported within the joist span.
iv)
For the lower storey of two storey construction, floor joists shall not support roof or upper floor loads within their span.
v)
Where the ends of joist do not support roof loads, the joist may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size used, except that the cantilever shall not exceed
50% of the actual backspan.
vi)
Joists crippled over supports shall be considered as single span joists. Refer Clause 2.7.5.4.
vii) Where joist size D/B > 4 restraint may be required. Refer Clause 4.2.2.3.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to
Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 19.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix)
When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)

vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 (including ceiling
joists)and a maximum tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The
mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1, G.I. strapping or similar restraint is to be provided to the top edge of the beam at beam ends. Refer to
Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iv)
Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the strutting/counter beam, the average of the spans may be used.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.23.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 . For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the strutting points and at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv)
A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of ceiling joist, ceiling
lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.24.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2.
For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
These lintels are not designed to support concentrated loads.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting floor loads only shall be sized as bearers.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof or floor loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20(b).
ix)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
x)
When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 and a maximum total tile roof, framing
and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
Jamb studs for opening in internal load bearing walls shall be as per Table 10.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.1.4.
vii) Where roof loads are supported only on studs supporting concentrated loads, posts or jamb studs, the internal walls can be classified as non-loadbearing walls.
Refer Clause 6.3.5.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 . For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the strutting points and at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv)
A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of ceiling joist, ceiling
lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.24.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
These lintels are not designed to support concentrated loads.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting floor loads only shall be sized as bearers.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof or floor loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20(b).
ix)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.

Australian Standards
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to
Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 19.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix)
When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 (including ceiling
joists)and a maximum tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The
mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1, G.I. strapping or similar restraint is to be provided to the top edge of the beam at beam ends. Refer to
Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iv)
Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the strutting/counter beam, the average of the spans may be used.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.23.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 . For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the strutting points and at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv)
A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of ceiling joist, ceiling
lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
These lintels are not designed to support concentrated loads.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting floor loads only shall be sized as bearers.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof or floor loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20(b).
ix)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
x)
When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

Australian Standards
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

ii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iv)
Where ceiling joist spans are not the same each side of the beam, the average of the spans may be used.
v)
Roof loads shall not be strutted onto hanging beams.
vi)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 7:1, G.I. strapping or similar restraint shall be provided to the top edge of the beam at support points. Refer to
Clause 7.2.26.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.20.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum ceiling mass of
12 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
The mass of ceiling joists and hanging beams is accommodated in the
span calculations.
ii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of
the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iii)
Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the counter
beam, the average of the spans may be used.
iv)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
v)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 7.21.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
These lintels are not designed to support concentrated loads.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting floor loads only shall be sized as bearers.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof or floor loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20(b).
ix)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
x)
When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 . For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the strutting points and at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv)
A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of ceiling joist, ceiling
lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.24.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

Australian Standards
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass
refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix)
When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)

vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 (including ceiling
joists)and a maximum tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The
mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1, G.I. strapping or similar restraint is to be provided to the top edge of the beam at beam ends. Refer to
Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iv)
Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the strutting/counter beam, the average of the spans may be used.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.23.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 , a maximum total tile roof, framing and
ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2.
For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
These lintels are not designed to support concentrated loads.
iii)
Lintels to internal wall openings supporting floor loads only shall be sized as bearers.
iv)
Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof or floor loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
viii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20(b).
ix)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
x)
When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.

These Standards are developed through an open process of consultation and consensus, in which all interested
parties are invited to participate. Through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commonwealth Government,
Standards Australia is recognized as Australias peak non-government national standards body. Standards Australia
also supports excellence in design and innovation through the Australian Design Awards.

Australian Standards
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Roof Load Widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2 and a maximum total tile roof, framing
and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii)
Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv)
Jamb studs for opening in internal load bearing walls shall be as per Table 11.
v)
Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.15.
vii) Where roof loads are supported only on studs supporting concentrated loads, posts or jamb studs, the internal walls can be classified as non-loadbearing walls.
Refer Clause 6.3.5.
viii) Notches for diagonal braces shall be as per Clause 6.2.1.4.
ix)
Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5kN per stud or laminate where they are nail laminated.

refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate may be a minimum 35 mm
deep.
iii)
Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined strutting/hanging beams or girder
trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv)
Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v)
Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi)
For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be determined using the tie-down spacing
of 0 in the table.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer
to Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum Lintel Spans are based on the support of a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to
Appendix B.
ii)
For lintels supporting hanging beams, the area supported shall be taken as one half of the ceiling area supported by the lintel and the size determined from the sheet
roof section.
iii)
Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
iv)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v)
For roof area supported refer Clause 2.6.5.
vi)
Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
vii) When lintels are used to their maximun design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be expected.
viii) The roof area supported by the lintel should only be that proportion of roof area contributing to the concentrated load on the lintel, ie the roof area input for a lintel
supporting a strutting beam should be proportioned according to the area distributed to either end of the strutting beam.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 (including ceiling
joists)and a maximum tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 plus a total ceiling mass of 12 kg/m2 . For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1, G.I. strapping or similar restraint is to be provided to the top edge of the beam at beam ends. Refer to
Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, whichever is greater.
iv)
Where hanging beam spans are not the same each side of the strutting/counter beam, the average of the spans may be used.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.22.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only up to a maximum sheet roof mass of 20 kg/m2 and tile roof mass of 60 kg/m2 . For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B. The mass of rafters and underpurlins is accommodated in the span calculations.
ii)
Where the depth to breadth ratio exceeds 3:1 G.I. strapping or similar restraint to the top edge of the beam is to be provided at the strutting points and at
beam ends. Refer to Clause 7.2.26.
iii)
Beam ends may be chamfered to a minimum depth of 100 mm or 1/3 of the beam depth, which ever is greater.
iv)
A minimum initial clearance of 25 mm shall be provided at mid-span between the underside of the strutting beam and the tops of ceiling joist, ceiling
lining or ceiling battens as appropriate.
v)
Minimum bearing length = 70 mm at end supports.
vi)
Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.

NOTES:
i)
Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix B.
ii)
Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii)
Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member. Overhang shall not exceed
50% of actual backspan.
iv)
Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v)
Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi)
Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

Keeping Standards up-to-date


Australian Standards are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.
Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au
Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to
notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at
mail@standards.org.au, or write to Standards Australia, GPO Box 476, Sydney, NSW 2001.
