Can you please tell me maximum span for 190 x 45 mgp 12 H3 treated pine 600 mm spacing 40 kgs/square metre on roof rafters?
Supplement no. 5 to Australian Standard 1684.2-2010 for non-cyclonic areas tells us that in N1/N2 wind areas 190 x 45 MGP 12 rafters @ 600mm centres will span 5.3m. That's for a single span (supported only at each end).
Can you please confirm if the FZ eave detail on page 27 of the BAL rating guide is applicable for a tiled roof? And can the timber fascia be substituted for standard metal fascia?
WoodSolutions Technical Design Guide #04, Building with Timber in Bushfire-prone Areas, is currently under review. However, a 'generic' tiled roof system (ie. one not restricted to particular brand-name products) is included in Appendix H of Australian Standard 3959:2018. We will send you an extract from Appendix H under separate cover.
We are working on a project where we would like to make contact with a company that provides CLT solutions. The project is in Sydney. Can you suggest a company / contact?
We weren't sure if you were looking for suppliers of cross-laminated timber, or design professionals. Suppliers are well represented on the net and you will find them if you write "Australian CLT suppliers" or similar in your browser. Details of local CLT projects are also available on the net such as Forté Living in Melbourne, more info here: https://builtoffsite.com.au/emag/issue-04/forte-living-australias-first-multiresidential-clt-building/. Lend Lease were responsible for Forté Living and more recently The Library at the Dock. It's possible they could be a useful contact for you.
