The steel used to construct fences, lighting poles, steel-framed houses, and shelves in major retailers is the focus of a newly published standard backed by Australian research and the latest technology. AS/NZS 4600:2018 Cold-formed steel structures has been published following extensive consultation with stakeholders across Australia and New Zealand.
Suspended ceilings fared poorly in recent earthquakes. In response, the relevant standard was revised, and there are stringent design and installation requirements to prevent collapse in a 1-in-500-year event.
Standards New Zealand has published a new technical specification, SNZ TS 3404:2018 Durability requirements for steel structures and components. It covers the corrosion protection of structural steelwork exposed to New Zealand atmospheric and non-atmospheric environments.
