Notes:

Importance:
Category 1 House failure affecting < 25m², secondary building element
Category 2 Building, house failure affecting > 25m²
Category 3 Important

Duration:
Storage and passage durations used
are based on intermediate durations from Table 2.3
and used with engineering judgement.

k4 factor:
Partial seasoning factor k4 taken as 1.
Refer Cl 2.4.2.2 & 2.4.2.3 for more information.

k6 factor:
Refer Cl 2.4.3 if designing structures near coastal
regions of Queensland north of 25°S and all other
regions north of 16°S

k20 factor:
Table 6.2(A) and 6.2(B) shows factors for the affect
of immaturity for softwood and Eucalypt and corymbia species
only. A value of 0.70 appears conservative.

k21 factor:
Table 6.3 shows factors for the affect of shaving
for softwood and Eucalypt and corymbia species only.
A value of 0.75 appears conservative.

Material constant:
Refer to Appendix E2
Bending ratio = 0.34

Compression/Bending:
Refer 3.5(1) & 3.5(2)

Tension/Bending:
Refer 3.5(3) & 3.5(4)
