Review of Australian Standards

To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new editions as necessary. It is important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edition, and any amendments thereto.

Full details of all Australian Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards Australia Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine 'The Australian Standard', which subscribing members receive, and which gives details of new publications, new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.

Suggestions for improvements to Australian Standards, addressed to the head office of Standards Australia, are welcomed. Notification of any inaccuracy or ambiguity found in an Australian Standard should be made without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 91094.

Foreword

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee for Loading on Structures to supersede AS 2121—1979, SAA Earthquake Code and AS 2121M—1979 Seismic Zone map of Australia.

This edition incorporates the following major changes to the previous edition:

1. The Standard is now in a limit states format.
2. New earthquake maps of Australia and of each State/Territory, defined in terms of an acceleration coefficient, are included.
3. Domestic structures are now included (Section 3).
4. AS 2121—1979 contains provisions for earthquake loads and in addition, design and detailing requirements for some of the major structural materials. This Standard contains only loading requirements.

In preparing this Standard, the Committee referred to the documents listed in the Commentary, AS 1170.4 Supplement 1.

Acknowledgment is made of the Australian Geological Survey Organization's copyright of the earthquake acceleration coefficient maps of Australia, States and Territory, and appreciation is recorded for permission to include the maps in this Standard.
