AS 1170.2 is an Australian Standard that specifically focuses on structural design actions related to wind loads. It provides guidelines and specifications for the calculation and application of wind actions in the design of buildings and civil engineering works. The full title of this standard is “AS 1170.2 – Structural Design Actions – Part 2: […]

AS 1170.1 is an Australian Standard that addresses structural design actions, specifically focusing on permanent, imposed, and other actions that affect the design of buildings and civil engineering works. This standard, titled “AS 1170.1 – Structural Design Actions – Part 1: Permanent, Imposed, and Other Actions,” provides guidance on how to determine and apply these

AS 1170.0 is an Australian Standard titled “Structural design actions – General principles.” It provides the general principles and guidelines for determining various design actions that affect the structural integrity of buildings and civil engineering works. Here is a brief overview of the key points covered in AS 1170.0: It’s important to note that AS

Cyclonic wind classifications in New Zealand are used to assess and design buildings and structures to withstand the strong winds associated with cyclones or hurricanes. The specific classifications you mentioned, C2 and C3, are used to denote different wind regions in New Zealand with varying wind speeds. Here’s an overview of these cyclonic wind classifications:

The New Zealand Wind Classification system, commonly referred to as NZS 3604:2011, provides wind classifications for buildings in non-cyclonic (i.e., non-hurricane) areas in New Zealand. These classifications are based on the wind speeds and are categorized into N2, N3, and N4. The classifications represent different wind regions within the country. Here is a brief overview
