Keeping Standards up-to-date

Australian Standards® are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.

Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.

Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au

Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to

notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at

NOTES:
i) Maximum bearer spans supporting roof loads are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling
mass of 40 kg/m2, a maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40
kg/m2. For guidance on determination of roof mass, refer to Appendix A.
ii) Cantilevers shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end support and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous members. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 50 mm at end supports
and 100 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For designed parameters, refer to Figure 4.6.
vi) Where loadbearing walls are supported at right angles to bearer within the bearer span, reference should be made to Clause
4.3.1.5.
vii) Where bearers support roof point loads, reference should be made to Clause 4.3.1.6.

NOTES:
i) Maximum roof load widths are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance
on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where rafters or trusses are supported directly over studs or within 1.5 times the thickness of the top plate from the studs the top plate
may be a minimum 35 mm deep.
iii) Where plates support concentrated loads such as roof beams, struts, strutting beams, hanging beams, counter beams, combined
strutting/hanging beams or girder trusses etc., the load shall be supported directly over a stud(s) designed to carry the load or the plate
stiffened in accordance with Clause 6.2.2.3.
iv) Plates may be trenched up to a maximum of 3 mm for studs.
v) Multiple plates shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.5.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.19.
vii) Where wind uplift forces on rafters or trusses are taken to the substructure, bypassing the top plate, the top plate size may be
determined using the tie-down spacing of “0” in the table.

NOTES:
i) Maximum lintel spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2. For
guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) For lintels supporting concentrated loads refer Table 20.
iii) Lintels to internal wall openings supporting ceiling joist only shall be sized as hanging beams.
iv) Lintels in gable or skillion end walls not supporting roof loads shall be determined as per Clause 6.3.6.3.
v) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values, where applicable, indicate the minimum additional
bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm.
vi) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.20.
viii) Lintels must be used in conjunction with top plates, ledgers and head trimmers.
ix) When lintels are used to their maximum design limits, deflections of up to 10 mm (deadload) or 15mm (live load) may be
expected.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof mass only for a coupled roof and the combined roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral
roof. For guidance on roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Allowable overhangs are based on a maximum depth of birdsmouth of D/3. Refer Figure 7.28.
iii) Where rafters are not birdsmouthed, the allowable overhang may be increased to 30% of the allowable single span for that member.
Overhang shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iv) Overhang limits do not apply where rafter ends are tied back to wall frame.
v) Overhang limits are only applicable where rafter ends are supported by a structural fascia board. Refer to Clause 7.3.13.2.
vi) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
vii) For design parameters refer to Figures 7.26 and 7.27.

NOTES:
i) Maximum spans are based on the support of roof or roof plus ceiling mass for a cathedral roof. For guidance on roof and ceiling
mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Allowable overhangs are based on no birdsmouth or notching. Overhangs shall not exceed 50% of actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports and 70 mm at internal supports for continuous members. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm at end supports
and 75 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 7.29.

NOTES:
i) Maximum bearer spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on
roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where the ends of bearers do not support roof loads, the bearers may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size
used except that the cantilevers are not to be greater than 50% of the actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end supports and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous spans. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm at end supports
and 75 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.6(b).

i) Maximum bearer spans are based on the support of a maximum total sheet roof, framing and ceiling mass of 40 kg/m2, a
maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on
roof and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Where the ends of bearers do not support roof loads, the bearers may cantilever 25% of the allowable single span for size
used except that the cantilevers are not to be greater than 50% of the actual backspan.
iii) Minimum bearing length = 50 mm at end supports and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous spans. Subscript values,
where applicable, indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 50 mm at end supports
and 100 mm at internal supports.
iv) Multiple members shall be nailed together as per Clause 2.3.
v) For design parameters refer to Figure 4.6(b).

maximum total tile roof, framing and ceiling mass of 90 kg/m2 and a maximum flooring mass of 40 kg/m2. For guidance on roof
and ceiling mass refer to Appendix A.
ii) Studs for internal non-loadbearing bracing walls and partitions (not carrying roof or floor loads) shall be as per Clause 6.3.5.
iii) Edge distances for some sheet bracing materials may require a minimum stud width of 45 mm for joining sheets.
iv) For gable or skillion end studs (not supporting floor or roof loads) refer Clause 6.3.2.5.
v) Large stud sizes may be made up by vertical nail lamination as per Clause 2.4.
vi) For design parameters refer to Figure 6.12.
vii) All stud walls shall be nogged at not more than 1350 mm centres.
viii) Where studs are used for tie-down, the maximum tension load that can be imparted to the stud is 8.5 kN per stud or laminate
where they are nail laminated.
