AS/NZS 1170.2, 2nd, 2021 – Structural design actions, Part 2: Wind actions
AS 1170.2 sets out procedures for determining wind speeds and resulting wind actions to be used in the structural design of structures subjected to wind actions other than those caused by tornadoes. To be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 1170.0. Originated in New Zealand as part of NZS 1900:1964. Previous Australian edition AS 1170.2-1989. Previous New Zealand edition NZS 4203:1992.AS 1170.2-1989 and NZS 4203:1992 jointly revised, amalgamated and redesignated in part as AS/NZS 1170.2:2002. Second edition 2011. Third edition 2021.
