There are discrepancies between AS 2870 and NCC for the footing heights provided in tables. Why is the reason?
 
Anyone there using the standards? Which one do you adapt as deemed to comply?
 
What are the actual disrepancies? Which tables in particular are you talking about?

Liam, you're probably better posting in AS/NZS (au/nz) Code Issues
More information with table numbers would be helpful.
 
Thank you for your answers.

For example :
Stiffened Raft Class S Articulated Full Masonry: AS2870 Figure 3.1=500mm vs NCC 2019 Table 3.2.5.4b = 400mm

Another example:
Stiffened Raft Class M Full Masonry: AS2870 Figure 3.1=950mm vs NCC 2019 Table 3.2.5.5a = 800mm

There are others but I gave two examples. Another thing is that the standard is in "Pending Revision" status, and this makes things more confusing.
 
I saw AS/NZS (au/nz) Code Issues part. Next time I will post there.
