    Deflection Limits for Australian Flooring

    Now that I think about it, for the incremental deflection would you need to check 1. short term Q (given Ψs>Ψl) 2. Creep + long term Q (given that creep + ΨlQ may be > ΨsQ) Both of which would have to achieve span/500?

    Deflection Limits for Australian Flooring

    I did not think to refer to AS3600 but yes table 2.3.3 is a great table for this so thank you very much I appreciate it. Just to make sure I am not making any mistakes. Would the incremental deflection load combination generally just be creep + long term live load?

    Deflection Limits for Australian Flooring

    Thanks for your response. Do you have any documentation regarding brittle floor finishes like tiled floors? Thanks.

    Deflection Limits for Australian Flooring

    Hey guys, Guidance for deflection limits seems to be extremely scarce, even when considering the suggested deflection limits provided in AS1170-2020 Appendix C. Also, when comparing limits and load combinations adopted by manufactures, they seem to be contradictory even with things that you...

    Steel Post Concrete Sleeper Retaining Wall Capacity Tables (NSW Australia)

    Does anyone have any decent summarised capacity tables for a standard steel post, concrete sleeper cantilever retaining wall. I am comparing some the results I am getting using a design module on the clearcalcs software to some older (2018) span tables and for a retaining wall with specs 2m...

    Design of stair tread with single stringer AUS - Tread is timber with steel plate under

    Hey guys what are the key considerations for designing a stair tread which is supported by a single hollow section central stringer. -Do you design the tread as a cantilever that is fixed to the stringer? -What loads, load combinations and deflection limits are to be considered? -Is 2.7kn...

    Design of Flat Plate Beams to AS4100

    Hey guys, Thank you very much for all this great information. StevynvW, sorry for my lack of understanding but by buckling analysis, can you please confirm what part of the code you are referring to? 5.6.4/Appendix H? 4.6? Appreciate the help.

    Design of Flat Plate Beams to AS4100

    Hey Retro, Thanks for sending that through, although I haven't had a chance to look at it properly it looks to be a good document. I welcome any additional documents/comments anyone else might have, the more info the better. Appreciate the help guys.

    Design of Flat Plate Beams to AS4100

    Hey SteynvW, thanks for the response. Do you know of any worked calculations online that I could have a look at to go through the specifics in a bit more detail?

    Design of Flat Plate Beams to AS4100

    Can a flat plate beam be designed using as4100? If so, say if we have a 200mmx10mm plate bending about its major axis, what values for d1 (clear depth between flanges), tf (thickness of critical flange) & tw (thickness of web) would you adopt for use in table 5.6.3 (A) twist restraint factor?
