Standards


At present, there are no Australian Standards relating specifically to purlins; but there are a number of standards that are relevant.

AS/NZS 4600 The SAA Cold Formed Steel Structures Code is referred to in the Building Code of Australia and the various State building regulations.
AS/NZS 4600 cites three material standards, namely:
AS 1397 Steel Sheet and Strip - Hot-Dipped Zinc-Coated or Aluminium/Zinc-Coated
AS 1594 Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products
AS 1595 Cold-Rolled, Unalloyed, Steel Sheet and Strip
GALVASPAN® steel purlins are rolled from steel manufactured in accordance with one of these standards.

Other steels can be used but their properties and suitability must be established.

Other relevant standards include:

AS 1170 The SAA Loading code
  Part 1: Dead and live loads and load combinations.
  Part 2: Wind forces.
AS 4100 SAA Steel Structures code.
