Abstract

Specifies requirements for structural design of farm structures with low human occupancy. This Standard covers only minimum requirements for structural design of form structures and does not include other requirements such as fire safety and health.

Scope

This standard specifies requirements for the structural design of farm structures with low human occupancy.

This standard does not include requirements for the structural design of liquid retaining structures used on farms. Health and fire safety requirements are also not included.

NOTES:
1. Reference should be made to the statutory regulations relating to health and safety applicable to the design of farm structures.
2. For requirements of design of farm silos and bins to control insect infestation in grain, see SAA MP46.
