Student Statement
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.

What do I need to do?
You have arrived on site at project that uses the same design as project no. 43324 but is using a timber framed floor. The floor grid has
been constructed as shown in the diagram below.
For this task, you need to refer to the Assessment Task Worksheets - Low Rise Structures and refer to the Timber Floor Systems
Worksheet (Page 2 of the Worksheets)
The carpenter has advised you the floor system is ready for sheeting. The floor system design data from AS1684-2010 is listed below:
Bearer spans below are for a Roof Load width of 4800mm.
Bearer 2x90x45 MGP12 Spanning 1200 mm floor load only.
Bearer 2x90x45 MGP12 Max Span 1200 mm at 450mm cts for load Bearing Walls and a floor load width of 1200mm.
Floor joists 90x45 MGP12 Max Span 2000 mm for floor loads only.
What do I need to do?
You are now required to review the drawings and do the following:
Determine whether this floor system set-out is structurally compliant with AS1684-2010. Identify any areas where it does not meet
compliance and explain why
Provide a sketch with proposed changes in line with your findings
Provide an alternative bearer and joist system from engineered timber products that would meet the requirements of this layout
and improve the sustainability of the construction
In providing a platform floor sheeting system for this frame, determine and describe:
owhat sheeting would be used and reasons for the selection
omethod of set-out and laying of the floor system

Enter your answers below:
Structure Compliance:
Australian Standard AS 1684 - Residential timber-framed construction outlines the requirement for load bearing specifications and
designs. From the given assessment worksheet, it can be clearly concluded that the floor system set out is not compliant to AS1684.
Some of reasons for noncompliance are
1. Structure has missing footing and misplaced footing at some places as shown in sketch A
2. Span of the floor joist is more then 2m at some places as shown in sketch A
3. Bearer missing at some places, please refer to sketch A
4. As per AS1684, structure require double strength bearer and joist at load bearing boundary structure which is missing in the given grid
plan.
5. Missing struts between intermediate floor joist for every 1.8m max where joist length exceeds 3m.
6. Solid end blocking is required at every 3rd bay of joist to prevent ends twisting.
