Oddly enough, other drafts accessed through my first link allow me to download PDF versions for free. I guess we wait until it gets posts through sapc.standards.org.

- Commas missing before kv in both items (a) & (b)? [Tabs are missing cf AS 5100.5]
- Upper limit of 1.10 in (a) should be a lower limit of... not sure, maybe 0.15 to match item (b)? [Upper limit should be 0.10 according to AS 5100.5]
[I won't bother reporting this. I like to watch the world burn and surely someone will misinterpret the 1.10 limit as conservative at some stage.]RE: AS3600 - 2019 2nd Draft For Public Comment
On a technical note, it appears that the simplified one-way shear rules are very conservative for thin slabs. 0.10*sqrt(f'c) in the draft (once corrected) compared with 0.17*sqrt(f'c) which was previously accepted, eg AS5100.5-2004 and Warner et al 'Concrete Structures' textbook. I might request that the simplified rules include something specifically for slabs - probably just needs the old Beta.1 factor or similar.

You should try being on the committee! There other recently introduced errors in those areas that you have not picked up as well, and they were correct in the last draft I saw early Feb. Somehow they were changed in the interim by the ghosts!
RE: AS3600 - 2019 2nd Draft For Public Comment
Also do not assume AS5100 is correct, changes are in the system to get it right as well.

Also you could try going through Standards Australia:

If you want to comment you will need to go to the Standards Australia site, and register if you haven't before.

It has a button which links to the SAI Global store where the pdf is available for free download (at least in Australia). It also has a paper copy available for sale at $85.
I don't know why it isn't listed on the AS general list of documents open for comment; perhaps because its supposed to be close to the final document to be published in the near future.
