</ol>
<p>AS1684 Œ</p>
<p>Residential timber framed construction is also referred to as the ‘Timber Framing Code.’ It is a benchmark document for manufacturer, architects, and builders.</p>

<li><em><strong>During construction of a building, parts of the structure, including fabricated steelwork, heavy panels and many other components will remain standing prior to or after supporting parts are in place. What safety measure should be taken to prevent the structure from collapsing?</strong></em></li>
</ol>
<p>For prevention of the frame from collapsing and injury, temporary bracing should be in place.</p>

<li><em><strong>What are wind loads and what effects do they have?</strong></em></li>
</ol>
<p>The force of wind blowing against the building leads in the production of stress in the walls and roofs. This kind of force is known as wind load. Application of horizontal force is the effect of wind loads. These forces are deled by the Australian Standard and is known as AS4055.</p>
