New Format of NZS 3404 The steel structures standard is being separated into seven inter-related parts as follows. The first part, NZS3404.1 is due for release mid-2009: NZS 3404.1 Steel structures – Materials, fabrication, and construction NZS 3404.2 Steel structures – Structural analysis NZS 3404.3 Steel structures – General design of members and connections NZS 3404.4 Steel structures – Design of composite members NZS 3404.5 Steel structures – Design for fire NZS 3404.6 Steel structures – Design for fatigue NZS 3404.7 Steel structures – Design for earthquakes The commentary section is being brought into the body of the Standard and is located against each relevant clause. This will facilitate interpretation and usability, removing the isolation of the commentary from every day use of the standard.
