AS 1684.2 Supplements
The requirement for 2, 3 or 4 jamb studs in Table 11 of the AS 1684.2 Supplements applies to both sides of the opening. Clause 6.3.2.3 will be helpful in explaining how the studs are distributed, in conjunction with Fig. 6.9. For example, where 4/90 x 45 jamb studs are required 2 are to be full length studs, and 2 are to be secondary jamb studs, each side of the opening. As stated in Clause 6.3.2.3, 2 secondary jamb studs may be required where the lintel tables "require bearing lengths greater than that provided by the [single] secondary jamb stud".
Engineering properties for Sugar Gum
Timber doesn't have a specific stress grade until it has been through a grading process, either by visual or mechanical means. Consequently, our webpage displays the five possible stress grades for sugar gum, as shown under the "Properties" tab. The grade applicable to a parcel of timber will depend on its quality, ie. the size and position of knots, slope of grain and other factors, all of which are taken into account in the grading process. Also the range of achievable grades varies according to whether the timber is seasoned or unseasoned.

The Triple Bottom Line with Timber Structures: Six Examples with WoodSolutions Expert
This is a summary of a presentation by WoodSolutions Paolo Lavisci at the Green Building Council of Australia's TRANSFORM event in March, 2023, about how a Triple Bottom Line (TBL) can be achieved with timber structures.
How to Achieve the Triple Bottom Line: Case Studies
Architects, engineers, developers, builders and everyone else involved in a project from start to finish all play a critical role in shaping our built environment, and their decisions have a profound impact on people's lives and the planet. Building with wood is not a new concept, but it's gaining momentum as we seek sustainable, healthy, and cost-effective solutions for our cities.
