Since the stud flanges are potentially exposed to fire they can only be used for Wind Loads in accordance with AS/NZS1170.2.
If flexural capacity other than Wind Loads is required then the wall may be reinforced and designed as a normal reinforced concrete wall.

the Lintel should be designed and detailed to suit.

D17 Design As Deep Beam or Transfer Walls

A number of options are available for using AFS LOGICWALL as formwork for deep beams or transfer walls. Some of these are
shown in the following examples.
Transfer walls allow the transfer of heavy loads from floors above to supporting columns or supporting beams below. These
walls are designed in accordance with AS3600 Section Design of Non-Flexural Members, End Zones and Bearing Surfaces.
Additional checks are to be made for Vertical Shear Plane failure at the stud, longitudinal shear at the top and bottom of the wall,
development lengths, bearing and congestion.
Use of AFS LOGICWALL in the design of deep beams should only be undertaken by experienced engineers with a good
understanding of all aspects of deep beam design. The engineer should examine issues such as construction sequence, build-
ability, congestion, services, detailing.
Where AS3600 calls for two layers of reinforcement AFS LOGICWALL has two options.

b) AFS262D

Other combinations are possible like relocating the tension tie reinforcement from the wall in D17.3 to the beam similar to D17.2.
Multiple levels of walls can be combined to provide deeper transfer beams and extend the possible spans but require careful
detailing and consideration of construction sequences . For typical spans usually only one level needs to be designed as a
transfer wall.

D18 Deep Beam Example


DD Structural

AFS LOGICWALL can be used as permanent formwork for economical deep beams. Their design as deep beams is controlled by;
Achieving adequate development lengths for the main tension reinforcement.
Placement of reinforcement at the stud cutouts and avoiding congestion.
H
orizontal tension tie reinforcement can only be cogged the other end to allow installation from one end of the walls. AS3600
requires that tension ties not be lapped in the tension zone instead full strength couplers would be needed if bars are to be
joined. For ease of construction only single length tension ties are beneficial.
M
aximising length of bearing to reduce bearing, strut and shear stresses. Bearing length can be increased by using drop
panels, thicker slab, band beams.
Additional storeys can be used to increase span and load capacity of deep beams. The detailing at each floor will need adequate
continuity bars through the slab into the wall as starter bars.

Typically multiple levels of AFS walls will span an opening. Normally only the lower one or two levels are designed as deep beams.
This simplifies the design and construction as additional documentation and reinforcement is limited to the lower walls. Propping
can also be removed earlier avoiding staged construction design. In the final construction state this is conservative as effective
depth of the deep beam is greater.

The following is an example of a Type I idealized Strut and Tie Design Model utilising a Fan Strut to support uniformly distributed
design load. Design of Non-flexural Members should only be undertaken by experienced engineers familiar with Strut and Tie
design in accordance with AS3600 Section 12 or other appropriate references.

congestion within the wall which creates difficulties when core filling and may result in voids or insufficient concrete compaction.
When detailing reinforcement to be placed in AFS LOGICWALL the following constraints must be noted.

the parameters governed by the holes in the steel stud

D23 Movement Joints

The structural concrete wall effectively has control joints at each stud so no additional crack control joints are necessary. Full
depth "movement joints" may be required depending on the geometry of the structure and other considerations such as thermal
loads, exposure and buiIding joints. In generaI "movement joints" would not be required for walls less than 16m long. Structural
movement joints will be placed in locations nominated by the structural engineer and must be documented on structural
drawings. These will be installed at construction stage by the AFS LOGICWALL installation contractor.
The following method is recommended:

D25 Wall Bracing

During construction AFS LOGICWALL panels shall remain braced until the floor over is constructed. Typical spacing for panel
braces is 1100mm which is every panel joint, bracing charts are available upon request. Apply standard bracing details for
temporary construction wind loadings up to Terrain Category 2 for 3000mm high walls placed on floors up to 50m above ground
level. The nominated Project Engineer is to design and detail any additional braces required for non-standard application.
Further details on bracing are in Section K Installation of this manual.

Draft v6 29/11/11
D26 Structural Detailing

Care must be taken when detailing AFS LOGICWALL to avoid installation problems on site. Points to note are:
Location and detailing of starter bars.
Cast in starter bars or drilled in dowels with limited anchorage.
Location and size of reinforcement to avoid steel congestion and placement difficulties.
Allow for location of services such as conduits and junction boxes within walls. Care is needed to avoid damage to junction
boxes if heavy horizontal reinforcement is used.
Services within walls should be avoided in highly stressed areas or allowed for in the design.
Maximum supplied wall height 4200mm. Heights exceeding 4200mm can be manufactured upon request and will be regarded
as a special order.

endorsed by government and professional bodies.The specification is for all building structures with specialist packages for
architects, interior designers, landscape architects, structural, mechanical, hydraulic and electrical engineers and domestic

The foundation of the Natspec specification system is the worksection. Natspec worksections are selected and customized by
the specifier to produce a project specification. In some instances, the specifier can choose between a generic worksection and a
branded worksection when compiling the specification.
A Natspec branded worksection is developed by Natspec in conjunction with the manufacturer, known as a Natspec Product
Partner. AFS has worked extensively with Natspec to become a product partner and to form the AFS LOGICWALL In Concrete
Combined branded worksection.

This AFS LOGICWALL product specific worksection/specification can be accessed via a link on the AFS website
www.afswall.com.au or by going directly to the Natspec website www.natspec.com.au and has been formulated so that
project designers/specifiers can produce a project specific specification for either:
1. AFS LOGICWALL combined with all concrete works on the project or
2. AFS LOGICWALL component of the project only.

DULUX AcraTex Coating System for AFS LOGICWALL Building System.

Substrate:
AFS LOGIC WALLTM is an innovative fast track permanent formwork system used as load bearing external and internal wall solutions for both residential & commercial
construction. AFS Walling Panels incorporate CSR Cementel Fibre Cement Sheeting CEMINSEAL WALLBOARD with WATERLOCK technology.

Substrate Preparation:
Frame detail and panel fixing must comply with relevant building codes and be in strict accordance with substrate manufactures instructions & recommendations.
All fixings must be non-corrosive, suitable for the exposure condition and be in accordance with substrate supplier recommendations.
Panel Face & Joint Alignment/ Jointing to be completed by others prior to internal painting.
Panel alignment is critical in all lost formwork systems and specific attention must be given to control of joint & sheeting alignment. Ensure that all joints between panels
accurately align and floor-to-floor alignment ensures a true and flat plane across the elevation.
It is the responsibility of either the panel installer or the interior finishing contractor to ensure all joints or major imperfections, misalignments are filled and sanded true
& flush before applying any coatings system. Remove all surface contaminants such as oil, grease or dirt, dust before coating.

Expansion Joints:
Dulux AcraTex recommends suitable expansion/contraction relief joints be installed at natural building weak points eg in line with openings (window / doors), at all horizontal
multi-levels, and at all interfaces of different building construction materials and or as defined by Engineer.
CJs are best treated before the coating system is applied. The use of a PU - Poly Urethane paintable Sealant incorporating backing rod in strict accordance with the
manufacturer recommendation for use on AFS LOGICWALL should be used in all cases. Select a colour that is complimentary to the final Texture colour.
Apply Sealant on completion of the panel installation to ensure adequate curing.

It is recommended to hold a volume of finish material for future maintenance touch-ups.

Important Notes:
Coatings should be applied in full accordance with relative product Technical and Applicational data sheets.

Dulux AcraTex accepts no liability for joint cracking or joint deformation, as control of structural movement is beyond the scope of a coating specification. Do not apply paint if
Relative Humidity is above 85% or temperature is within 3C of Dew Point, or the surface temperature is greater than 50C or below 10C, or likely to fall below 10C during the
drying period.
This system is recommended where panel misalignment is NOT greater than 3mm. Practical Application Rates will vary from the quoted theoretical spread rate due to factors
such as method and condition of the application and surface roughness, and or panel misalignment.
Glancing light
Joints and panel deformation may be clearly evident under glancing light, casting visible shadows of the minute and uneven projections of the joints.
Glancing light is light that is nearly parallel to the surface of the wall and casts visible shadows and uneven projections of the joints.
Just like rendered masonry any uneven projections will be highlighted and as such are outside the control / scope of this specification.

**Recoat times are quoted for 25oC and 50% relative humidity these may vary under different conditions. Longer time will be required under adverse conditions.

A. Trowel Applied "Float Sand Finish":
AcraTex Coventry Coarse Trowel On
AcraTex Coventry Coarse is a flexible acrylic texture, applied at 1-2mm film build delivering a traditional float finish render style
in a fine-medium grain texture.
AcraTex or AcraSkin is specified as the final weatherproofing topcoat.
B. Texture Roller Applied, "Stipple Finish":
AcraTex AcraSkin
AcraTex AcraSkin is an Elastomeric Membrane coating applied by medium cell Texture Roller delivering a weatherproofing, highly
flexible light relieve texture stipple.
AcraSkin is also specified as the final weatherproofing topcoat, applied by a nap roller.

A full description of the test specimen and the complete test results are detailed in the Division's
sponsored investigation report numbered FSV 1513.

PRODUCT NAME 120-mm thick, load-bearing AFS structural wall system.

DESCRIPTION: The specimen comprised a reinforced concrete wall system 3000-mm high x
3000-mm wide x 120-mm thick made up of three pre-fabricated permanent
formwork panels core-filled with concrete after assembly.
The pre-fabricated permanent formwork panels, 1200-mm wide x 3000-mm high,
comprised two 6-mm thick fibre cement sheets (CSR Waterblock Technology)
bonded to the perforated steel stud assembly using AFS Structural Adhesive. The
studs, nominally 2900-mm long x 108-mm wide x 35-mm high, with perforations
shown in drawing numbered AFS-CSIR-23-11-11, dated 23 November 2011, by
Peter Ellsmore & Associates Pty Ltd., were equally spaced over the width of the
panel at nominally 140-mm centres. The wall was reinforced with N12 reinforcing
bars at 400-mm centres vertically and 600-mm centres horizontally.
The panels were appropriately braced and 32 Mpa 120-mm slump concrete was
pumped in through the top openings in 1500-mm high layers, and trowelled off
when completely filled.
A total load of 700 kN was applied to the specimen for the duration of the test.

The element of construction described above satisfied the following criteria for fire-resistance for the period
stated

Structural adequacy - no failure at 241 minutes


Integrity - no failure at 241 minutes
Insulation - 190 minutes

and therefore for the purpose of Building Regulations in Australia, achieved a fire-resistance level (FRL) of
240/240/180. The FRL is applicable for exposure to fire from either direction.

* All AFS LOGICWALL walls are suitable as external envelope walls for climate zones 1-7 as the AFS LOGICWALL walls come
under clause (b) of table J1.50 of the BCA (see fig, G4.3 on page G14) ("where the only space for insulation is provided by a
furring channel, top hat section, batten or the like") which reduces required total R to 1.4 for climate zones 1 to 7.

AFS LOGICWALL system 'R' values for other AFS LOGICWALL compositions are in the certification section of this manual.

The LOGICWALL system is designed for the construction of both reinforced and non-reinforced concrete walls. Once constructed
the formwork system does not contribute to the structural capacity of the wall which acts as a normal concrete structure. When
used and constructed in accordance with AFS LOGICWALL manual instructions, the AFS LOGICWALL system comply with the
durability requirements of AS3600 (2009). (Refer Chapter L - Certification, report #10655/01 by Mahaffey Associates and report

CONCRETE MIX DESIGN GUIDE
AFS trial & experience have shown that a concrete mix that is designed such that segregation and blowouts
are prevented whilst achieving the required level of compaction will have the following basic characteristics:

10mm Aggregate .......................................... 620kg


Medium sand ................................................... 1020kg
Cement ................................................................. 335kg
Flyash .................................................................... 135kg
Super Plasticizer .............................................. 1-1.25 litres (ADVA 125)
Water ..................................................................... 145 Litres

The above concrete mix is for one cubic metre.

NOTE: Desired result is concrete that is creamy with


good flowing characteristics and minimum water content
Must be able to pump through a 50mm delivery line
Recommended initial slump before plasticizer: 80
Target slump after plasticizer: 140 - 160mm

Please Note: This document is a guide only. The ingredients vary from plant to plant and state to state,
therefore you will need to discuss your mix with the local concrete plant, to achieve the right mix.

Copying or alteration of this report
without written authorization from CSIRO is forbidden.

This is to certify that the element of construction described below was tested by the CSIRO Division of
Manufacturing and Infrastructure Technology in accordance with Australian Standard 1530, Methods for
fire tests on building materials, components and structures, Part 4-2005, Fire-resistance test of elements
of construction on behalf of:

AFS Products Group Pty Ltd


22-24 Sommerville Circuit
EMU PLAINS NSW

A full description of the test specimen and the complete test results are detailed in the Division's
sponsored investigation report numbered FSV 1513.

PRODUCT NAME 120-mm thick, load-bearing AFS structural wall system.

DESCRIPTION: The specimen comprised a reinforced concrete wall system 3000-mm high x
3000-mm wide x 120-mm thick made up of three pre-fabricated permanent
formwork panels core-filled with concrete after assembly.
The pre-fabricated permanent formwork panels, 1200-mm wide x 3000-mm high,
comprised two 6-mm thick fibre cement sheets (CSR Waterblock Technology)
bonded to the perforated steel stud assembly using AFS Structural Adhesive. The
studs, nominally 2900-mm long x 108-mm wide x 35-mm high, with perforations
shown in drawing numbered AFS-CSIR-23-11-11, dated 23 November 2011, by
Peter Ellsmore & Associates Pty Ltd., were equally spaced over the width of the
panel at nominally 140-mm centres. The wall was reinforced with N12 reinforcing
bars at 400-mm centres vertically and 600-mm centres horizontally.
The panels were appropriately braced and 32 Mpa 120-mm slump concrete was
pumped in through the top openings in 1500-mm high layers, and trowelled off
when completely filled.
A total load of 700 kN was applied to the specimen for the duration of the test.

The element of construction described above satisfied the following criteria for fire-resistance for the period
stated

Structural adequacy - no failure at 241 minutes


Integrity - no failure at 241 minutes
Insulation - 190 minutes

and therefore for the purpose of Building Regulations in Australia, achieved a fire-resistance level (FRL) of
240/240/180. The FRL is applicable for exposure to fire from either direction.

This certificate is provided for general information only and does not comply with the regulatory
requirements for evidence of compliance.

THERMAL PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
TO AS/NZS 4859.1:2002/Amdt 1 (Dec 2006)

The following calculations by James M Fricker Pty Ltd are based upon:

a) AS/NZS 4859.1:2002/Amdt 1 (Dec 2006) Materials for the thermal insulation of buildings. Part 1: General
criteria and technical provisions,
b) the Australian Institute of Refrigeration Air-conditioning & Heating (AIRAH) Handbook (2007 Edition), and (if

thermal resistance - A total resistance associated with a material or a system or construction of materials,
specified as a Total R, including surface film resistances to be in alignment with the BCA2011 Specification J1.3
examples.

R-values for parallel-faced air cavities were calculated using the Reflect-3 computer software that is based on
Robinson and Powell data and research by Oakridge National Laboratory, USA. These calculations are iterative
and only the converged results are shown. (Note that Reflect-3 calculations are limited to a maximum 100mm air
gap.)

Total R-values are based on product in-service conditions in accordance with AS/NZS 4859.1:2002/Amdt 1 (Dec
2006) including the alteration of insulation material R for temperature, and derations of reflective foil emittances
due to dust as noted. Where a cavity is sealed, it is assumed there is no dust and hence emittance is not derated.

The calculations have not yet been independently verified per requirements of AS/NZS 4859.1:2002/Amdt 1.

Each calculation result is subject to any specific notes and assumptions listed on the calculation.

If a construction differs from the described system, the thermal resistance may be different.

TOTAL R
THERMAL PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
TO AS/NZS 4859.1:2002/Amdt 1 (Dec 2006)

The following calculations by James M Fricker Pty Ltd are based upon:

a) AS/NZS 4859.1:2002/Amdt 1 (Dec 2006) Materials for the thermal insulation of buildings. Part 1: General
criteria and technical provisions,
b) the Australian Institute of Refrigeration Air-conditioning & Heating (AIRAH) Handbook (2007 Edition), and (if
necessary) the ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook.

Results reported are for the insulation path only per the original AS/NZS 4859.1:2002 Clause 1.5.3.3 Total
thermal resistance - A total resistance associated with a material or a system or construction of materials,
specified as a Total R, including surface film resistances to be in alignment with the BCA2011 Specification J1.3
examples.

R-values for parallel-faced air cavities were calculated using the Reflect-3 computer software that is based on
Robinson and Powell data and research by Oakridge National Laboratory, USA. These calculations are iterative
and only the converged results are shown. (Note that Reflect-3 calculations are limited to a maximum 100mm air
gap.)

Total R-values are based on product in-service conditions in accordance with AS/NZS 4859.1:2002/Amdt 1 (Dec
2006) including the alteration of insulation material R for temperature, and derations of reflective foil emittances
due to dust as noted. Where a cavity is sealed, it is assumed there is no dust and hence emittance is not derated.

The calculations have not yet been independently verified per requirements of AS/NZS 4859.1:2002/Amdt 1.

Each calculation result is subject to any specific notes and assumptions listed on the calculation.

If a construction differs from the described system, the thermal resistance may be different.
