Abstract

This paper provides an explanation of the thermal loading clauses in AS1170 Part I - 1989 and provides design charts for the rapid evaluation of the extreme temperatures in a range of concrete walls and roof slabs heated by solar radiation. The design data is based on the results of a research project carried out at the University of Adelaide over the last ten years. This research forms the basis of the clauses in the Code. The paper concludes with a worked example showing how the charts can be used to compute the expansion and flexure of a concrete roof slab for a Sydney office building.
