โฆ Synopsis
The floor system in domestic construction in Australia and New Zealand is comprised of a single layer of flooring on joists of short span in contrast to the American practice of two layers of flooring on long span joists. Common practices in floor laying in New Zealand and Australia are described and reference is made to the recent attempt in Australia to devise a rational method of determining acceptance levels of strength and stiffness for flooring materials. It is suggested that the ready availability of exotic softwoods might well lead to changes in flooring practices in the two countries.
