Plagiarism is a form of cheating. It is taking and using someone else’s thoughts or writings and representing them as your own. Plagiarism is a serious act and may result in
a participant’s exclusion from a Unit of Competency or a course. This in turn may require for students to pay to re-complete the module or course at a later date.
The following list outlines some of the activities for which a participant can be accused of plagiarism:
1. Presenting any work by another individual as one’s own unintentionally
2. Handing in assessments markedly similar to or copied from another student
3. Presenting the work of another individual or group as their own work.
4. Handing up assessments without the adequate acknowledgement of sources used, including assessments taken totally or in part from the internet.

Many of the workbook activities are ‘open book’ yet should still be conducted under test conditions without consultation with other students. If you are unsure of any
assessment requirements you should check with your Trainer / Assessor.
By submitting this assessment electronically you declare that all work for assessment tasks submitted for this assessment is your own with no part of any assessment being
copied/plagiarised from another person’s work, except where authorised and listed / referenced.
Referring to the Timber Wall System Worksheet (Page 2 of Low Rise Structures - AT Worksheets) and using the Span Table, you are required to
determine if the lintels are correct. Once you have quality checked the drawings, you are required to:
Write (must be typed, not handwritten) a Site Instruction to the Carpenter describing all the errors and rectification requirements
Site instruction must include:
oSketch detailing the bracing you would use. This can be hand drawn or produced electronically. Email format is acceptable.
oDescribe the fixings that would be required to ensure this bracing meets the NCC requirements
oInclude key points required for the window installation once the wall frame rectification is complete
oInclude key points required for the vapour permeable sarking or a waterproof membrane

Part A
Project: Pelican Way Project 433324
To: Carpenter
Objective: Rectification Required for Timber Wall System Worksheet : Low Rise Structure

Figure A

Rectification Required:
1. Lintels at opening 1450 does not comply with AS1684 , Figure 3.4.4.3. It must be rectified to 2/120*45 F17.
2. Secondary Jam studs are missing under all lintels and required to be installed.
studs can be large single ones, or two or more stud nails laminated together. Please note Jamb studs in external walls and other load
bearing walls must not be:
notched within the middle half of their height
or
within the height of the opening.
3. One side nogging is missing next to living opening:
The maximum spacing for noggings is 1,350 mm. There is usually one nogging for walls up to 2,700 mm height. Noggings are not required to
be stress graded. Nogging thickness must be:
a minimum of 25 mm
suitable for fixing cladding and linings.
Noggings must be installed either centrally in the depth of the studs or flush with one face of the stud.
4. Angle Bracing required to be removed. Please Refer to figure B below for bracing installation.

BRACING
Given Bracing is not sufficient. AS 1684.2 Section 8 requires bracing to withstand the wind pressure on the timber framed structure
Any further Directive, guidance and clarification about Bracing can be found in following Australian Regulation if required during the whole
bracing process:
1. Wind classification is determined as per Clauses 1.4.2 & 1.5 & AS4055/AS/NZS1170.2
2. Wind pressure is guided by Clause 8.3.2 & Tables 8.1 to 8.5 AS1684-2
3. Area of elevation is directed by Clause 8.3.3 and Figure 8.2(A) or (B) AS1684-2
4. Calculation of the racking force can be calculated according to Clause 8.3.4 and Tables 8.1 to 8.5 of AS1684-2. Formulae used for racking
force is
Total Racking Force (kN) = Projected Area of Elevation (m2 ) x Lateral Wind Pressure (kPa)
5. Bracing systems is designed as per Clause 8.3.6, Tables 8.18 and 8.19, AS1684-2
6. Even distribution and spacing is checked as per Clause 8.3.6.6 and 8.3.6.7, Tables 8.20 – 8.21 AS1684-2.
7. Connection of bracing is led by Clause 8.3.6.9 and 8.3.6.10, Table 8.23AS1684-2
(Board, 2016; Standards, 2011)
In the given project wind classification is N2, and the racking force is given as 9 KN. Wall frame height is 2.44m which is less then 2.7m , thus
guidance for bracing can be achieved from Table 8.18. plywood sheet bracing can provide bracing capacity of 3.4Kn/m through which
correct bracing for racking force 9kn can be achieved as per Table 8.18 AS1684-2. Plywood bracing is recommended. Please ensure that
plywood used has been manufactured to the requirements of AS/NZS 2269.0. Fixing requirement is given in AS1684 -2, Table 8.18/ section
