Australian Standards for Masonry from Electronic Blueprint
Electronic Blueprint and ENVIROSPEC provide free building specifications &
details, and training on safe and sustainable buildings to architects, engineers and builders.
The selection of the appropriate standards, for inclusion in specifications, is of prime
importance. The following list is suitable for masonry (clay brickwork or concrete blockwork),
both reinforced and unreinforced.
- AS 3700 Masonry structures.
- AS 3700 Supplement 1 Masonry Structures - Commentary.
- AS/NZS 4455 Masonry units and segmental pavers.
- AS/NZS 4456 Masonry units and segmental pavers - Methods of test.
- AS/NZS 2904 Damp-proof courses and flashings.
- AS/NZS 2699.1 Built-in components for masonry construction - Wall ties.
- AS/NZS 2699.2 Built-in components for masonry construction - Connectors and accessories.
- AS/NZS 2699.3 Built-in components for masonry construction - Lintels and shelf angles (durability requirements).
- AS 3972 Portland and blended cements.
- AS 1316 Masonry composite cement.
- AS 1672.1 Limes and Limestone - Limes for building.
- AS 2758.1 Aggregates and rock for engineering purposes - Concrete aggregates.
- AS 3660.1 Termite management - New Building work.
- AS 3660.2 Termite management - In and around existing buildings and structures - Guidelines.
- AS/NZS 4680 Hot-dip galvanised (zinc) coatings on fabricated ferrous articles.
- AS/NZS 4534 Zinc and zinc/aluminium-alloy coatings on steel wire.
- AS 2837 Wrought alloy steels - stainless steel bars and semi-finished products.
- AS/NZS 4792 Hot-dip galvanised (zinc) coatings on ferrous hollow sections, applied a continuous or specialised process.
- AS/NZS 4791 Hot-dip galvanised (zinc) coatings on ferrous open sections, applied by an in-line process.
- AS/NZS 4671 Steel reinforcing materials.
- AS 1397 Steel sheet and strip.
- AS 3600 Concrete structures.
- AS 2870 Residential slabs and footings - Construction.
Standards Australia is currently preparing two new standards, AS 4773.1 Residential masonry -
Design, and, AS 4773.1 Residential masonry - Construction When published, these two will
provide simple designs and details and will replace AS 3700 Section 12.
