Kiri Robbie Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Does Australia has a particular code to design for TW or just refer to BS code that you mentioned earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnabas Ilko Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 The British Standard I referred to is BS5975 Code of practice for temporary works procedures and the permissible stress design of falsework. It has three parts: General Procedural of Temporary Works Falsework This code provides guidance for falsework design in the last part. Some of the Australian design standards relating to temporary works are the following: AS 1418.4-2004 Cranes, hoists and winches Tower cranes AS/NZS 1576 Scaffolding (multiple volumes) AS 1657:2013 Fixed platforms, walkways, stairways and ladders – Design, construction and installation AS 3610:1995 Formwork for concrete AS 3850:2003 Tilt-up concrete construction AS 2601-2001 The demolition of structures AS 4991-2004 Lifting devices - SAI Global It really depends on what you are after though. There are a lot of practice notes and guidelines nationally and internationally to research.
