AS/NZS 4456:2003 Masonry
Units, Segmental Pavers and Flags - Methods of Test |
| |
Provides a general introduction and a series of 19 test methods for masonry units and segmental pavers. The tests are for sampling, mean and standard deviation, and for determining dimensions, compressive strength, breaking load, potential to effloresce, core percentage and material thickness, moisture content and dry density, abrasion resistance, resistance to salt attack, expansion, contraction, pitting due to salt attack, expansion, contraction, pitting due to lime particles, water absorption properties, lateral modulus of rupture, permeability to water, rate of absorption and tensile strength.

NZS 4210:2001 Masonry Construction:
Materials & Workmanship (supersedes 4210:1989) |
| |
Sets out requirements for materials
and workmanship of clay, concrete and natural stone
masonry to be used in conjunction with NZ 3604;

NZS 4229:1999 Concrete Masonry
Buildings Not Requiring Specific Engineering Design.
|
| |
Sets down the structural requirements
for buildings not requiring specific design, where
the foundations of some or all of the walls, in
any storey are constructed of masonry, and the floors,
ceilings and roof are constructed of light timber
frame, with the exception that the ground floor
can be a concrete slab-on-ground.
|
| |
NZS 4230:2004 Design of Reinforced
Concrete Masonry Structures. |
| |
BIA Approved Document B1 Part
one specifies minimum requirements for the design
of masonry buildings and other masonry structures.
Also applicable to the design of parts of other
buildings which are constructed of masonry. Part
two provides a commentary on Part one.
|
| |
NZS 3116:2002 Concrete
Segmental and Flagstone Paving |
| |
Sets out provisions for the non-specific engineering design and construction of pavements using segmental and flagstone pavers. It also provides New Zealand variations to paver manufacture and tests in relation to AS/NZS 4455 and AS/NZS 4456.
