It was approved ‘on behalf of the Counc of Standards Australia on 31 July 2020. ‘This Standard was published on 21 August 2020. The following are represented on Committee BD-001 ‘Australian Building Codes Board ‘Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Australian Industry Group Australian Steel Asscciation Australian Steel Institute Austroads Bureau of Steel Manufacturers of Australia, Consult Australia Engineers Australia Rail Industry Safety and Standards Board University of New South Wales University of Sydney Weld Australia Western Sydney University ‘This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR AS 4100:2019.

AS 4100:2020 ii Preface This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee BD-001, Steel Structures, to supersede AS 4100—1998, The objective of this Standard is to provide designers of steel structures with specifications for steel structural members used for load-carrying purposes in buildings and other structures. Major changes to the 1998 edition include the following: @) (o) @) o (a) (hy @ Oo Reference to the “construction specification” (as the document containing the particular design data and details to be provided) as one deliverable from the design process. A definition of the construction specification consistent with that in AS/NZS 5131 has also been provided (Clauses 1.3.16 and 1.6.2). Introduction of the definition of “construction category” and an informative appendix providing guidance on selection of the appropriate construction category, both consistent with AS/NZS 5131 (Clauses 1.3.15 and 1.7.2, and Appendix l). Definition and description of ‘architecturally exposed structural steelwork” (AES) (Clauses 1.3.3 and 1.7.3) Definition and treatment of “lamellar tearing” consistent with AS/NZS 1554.1 (Clauses 1.3.40 and 3.8, and Appendix M). Alignment with AS/NZS 5100.6:2017 (various clauses). Referencing of AS/NZS 5131:2016 for the majority of requirements in the fabrication and erection sections of this Standard (Sections 14 and 15), Alignment with AS/NZS 1252.1:2016, which includes introduction of an “alternative bolt assembly type” to EN 14399-3 System HR for grade 8.8 bolts and an “additional bolt assembly type’ to EN 14399-3 System HR for grade 10.9 bolts, The Australian Stee! Institute (ASI), ‘Technical Note TN-001, High strength structural bale assemblies ta AS/NZS 1252:2016, provides background and basis for the revision to AS/NZS 1252:1996 (Clauses 9.1.6, 9.3, 15.2). New specification of geometrical tolerances for fabrication and erection aligned with AS/NZS 5131 (Clauses 144 and 15.3) New Appendix Kk "Statistical data’, aligned with AS/NZS $100.6. Inclusion of shear modulus G at elevated temperature in Clause 12.4.2 and anew Clause 12.4.3, Slenderness at elevated temperature ‘Table M.2, Criteria affecting the target value of Zza, was adapted with permission from Table 3.2 of EN 1993-1-10.
