NZS 3101.1&2:2006

Concrete Structures Standard

Part One, The Design of Concrete Structures, specifies minimum requirements for the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. It is applicable only to structures and parts of structures complying with the materials and workmanship requirements of NZS 3109: 1987. Part Two, Commentary on The Design of Concrete Structures, explains the provisions of Part One, summarises technical background and suggests approaches which satisfy the intent of the Standard. This revision of NZS 3101 has been written with the objective of producing a concrete design standard which is compatible with the loading standards AS/NZS 1170 and NZS 1170.5, and other referenced loading standards. It is organised in component focused sections, for ease of use.
