Sourcing AS1684 online?

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

(Not sure where to place this, other than in the Renovation Forum, so this'll do as well as anywhere)

A couple of times in the last few months I've had reason to look up the AS 1684 standards, for span tables, etc. I do have the hard copies somewhere... somewhere being the operative word. My shed is in chaos and I don't have the time or inclination to go hunting.

Until recently I had a PDF version, which I'm pretty sure I DL'd for free from a .gov.au site. The same site also distributed the appendices & errata sheets as they were released.

After a recent computer upgrade my copy of the PDF disappeared, along with my browser bookmarks :C and I can't for the life of me work out where I originally DL'd it. I'm sure it wasn't the Aust. National Library & most other .gov.au sites I've tried have sent me to an ePay type site to buy the hard-copy. :rolleyes:

Anyone got any ideas? Or has the Govt discontinued the digital releases?

Try this:

Might have what you want under the span tables menu on the left.

Or maybe try looking for Timber Framing Manual rather than AS1684.

Work maintains a subscription to Standards
If I've time in the morning I'll look what the arrangement is

Bump. Anyone have a good link?

We also have a subscription to the AS. It costs $55 to download any standard. They arrive in .pdf but the files are protected and expire after a few days.
I don't know if some are available free of charge but I haven't found one yet. :no:
