AS/NZS 1100.501:2002 (R2014)

Sets out requirements and recommendations for structural engineering drawings to obtain common practice for the representation of structures and components, including reinforced and prestressed concrete, structural steel, timber and masonry. The methods form a basis for more detailed rules for specific applications. It adds to the requirements of AS 1100.101, Technical drawing, Part 101: General principles.

Scope

This Standard sets out requirements and recommendation for structural engineering drawing practice and is complementary to AS 1100.101. This Standard deals with the presentation of information.
The types of structures intended to be dealt with by this Standard are generally those covered by structural design and construction Standards and codes, particularly the following:
AS
1720 Timber Structures Code
2327 Composite structures
2327.1 Part 1: Simply supported beams
3600 Concrete structures
3700 Masonry structures
3990 Mechanical equipment—Steelwork
4100 Steel structures
AS/NZS
1148 Timber—Nomenclature—Australian, New Zealand and imported species
1664 Aluminium structures
4600 Steel structures
NZS
3101 Concrete Structures Standard
3404 Steel Structures Standard
3603 Timber Structures Standard
4230 Code of practice for the design of masonry structures AUSTROADS Bridge Design Code
NOTE: For cold-formed steel structures, stainless steel structures and aluminium structures, the pictorial representation is similar to general structural steelwork drafting.
