This section outlines the design process for determining the adequacy of ARMGO Panel.

STEP 1: Determine the wind category, stud framing layout and board height requirements.

STEP 2: Design Criteria. Where required identify the BCA Performance Requirements: - Fire Resistance Level (FRL). - Sound Insulation Performance (RW values).-EnergyEfficiency(R-Value).

STEP3:Theflowchartbelowcanbeusedtoselect a type, spacing and quantity of Top Hats andfixingstosuitrequirements.

STEP 4: Select insulation and/or sarking material tosuitenergyefficiencyandcondensationrequirements.

STEP 5: Check adequacy of sound insulation and fireresistancelevel.

STEP 6: Complete detailed design and documentation.

Compliance with the Building Code of Australia (BCA)

Allbuildingsolutions,suchaswalls,floors,ceilings,etc. must comply with the regulations outlined in the BCA or other authority.

The BCA is a performance based document, and is available in two volumes which align with two groups of “Class of Building’:Volume 1 - Class 2 to Class 9 Buildings; andVolume 2 - Class 1 & Class 10 Buildings - Housing Provisions.

Each volume presents Regulatory Performance Requirements for different Building Solutions for various classes of buildings and performance provisions.

These Performance Provisions include: Structure; FireResistance;Damp&Weatherproofing;SoundTransmission&Insulation;andEnergyEfficiency.

This design guide presents tables, charts and information necessary to assist in the design of a system incorporating ARMGO Panel that complies with the Performance Requirements of the BCA. The designer must check the adequacy of the building solution for Performance Requirements outlined by the appropriate authority.

2.1 DurabilityMaintenance & Enhancement of Durability

The durability of the ARMGO Panel External Wall System can be enhanced by periodic inspection and maintenance. Inspections should include examination of the coatings, flashingsandsealants.Paintfinishesmustbemaintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.Anycrackanddamagefinishor sealants, which would allow water ingress, must be repaired immediately by re-coating or resealing theaffectedarea.Anydamagedflashingsorboards must be replaced as for new work.

The durability of the system can also be increased byusingClass4fixingsthroughout,additionaltreatment of steelwork, and by painting all exposed sealants to the sealant manufacturer’s recommendations.

Overview

Durability means the capability of a building or its partstoperformafunctionoveraspecifiedperiodof time. It is not an inherent property of a material or component. It is the outcome of complies interactions among a number of factors, including:

•Theserviceconditions•Materialcharacteristics•Designanddetailing•Workmanship•Maintenance

(‘ABCB Guideline Document – Durability in buildings: 2003’)

The following sub-sections of the durability topic are written in order to provide general guidelines in how best to provide, enhance and maintain adequate durability of ARMGO Panels.

One of the primary design objectives in planning a building is to provide a cost effective comfortable living/working environment for the building’s inhabitants. Exploiting the inherent thermal mass and insulation qualities of ARMGO Panels enables the designer to achieve this objective.

Incorporating ARMGO Panels in place of conventionalwallsystemshavemanybenefitssuch as lower heating and cooling energy consumption and smaller mechanical equipment required to maintain a comfortable living environment, especially with regards to regions of mainly cold weather. The excellent performance was the result of the three characteristics - thermal mass, thermal insulation, and the air tightness of the construction.

The level of insulation provided in a wall is determined by the required Total R-Value. The higher the required Total R-Value the greater the insulation provided.

2.5 Coating RequirementsSurface adhesion:

•Thesubstratepreparationandcoatingapplication should be in accordance with the coatingmanufacturer’sspecification.•Beforeapplyingfinishesincoastalareas(refertodefinition),allARMGOPanelsmustbethoroughly washed with fresh water to remove any salt residue. Refer to coating manufacturer for additional requirements.Water Resistance:•Theprimaryobjectiveofthecoatingsystemisto prevent water ingress through the ARMGO Board.

Water Resistance:

•Theprimaryobjectiveofthecoatingsystemis to improve water resistance of the ARMGO Board.

Compatibility:

•Ensurethatcoatingsystemiscompatiblewiththesubstrate and construction system components, i.e:

- Coating may not adhere to silicone or other sealants and mastics- Excessive joint adhesive or mortars smears across the board face may require removal or specificprimers.

Durability:

•Thecoatingmustbedurableandnotdeterioratewith exposure to light (UV) and weather.

ARMGO Panels require an appropriate external coating system and sealant detailing to ensure water resistance

4.1 Delivery and storageUnloading Board Packs

Board packs should be unloaded and moved with approved lifting device. Before use, lifting devices should be checked for the required lifting tags. Packs should be unloaded as close as possible to the intended installation area. This will increaseworkefficiencyandminimisetheneedforsecondary lifting

Note: Secondary handling increases the risk of board damage. The repair of damage sustained during lifting and moving is the responsibility of the lifter. Where damage is excessive, ARMGO Panels must be replaces.

Storage

All materials must be kept dry and preferably stored undercover. Care should be taken to avoid sagging or damage to ends, edges and surfaces.

All ARMGO Panel products must be stacked on edge and properly supported off the ground, on a level platform. Board bundles can be stacked two high. The project engineer should be consulted as to the adequacy of the structure to support the stacked bundles.

If Outside, ARMGO Panels must be stored off the ground and protected from the weather. Only single bundles positioned on the ground can be opened. To provide a level surface we recommend placing temporary joists beneath the supporting cleats

Unstrapping

Ensure appropriate bracing is installed to packs prior to removal of strapping to prevent panels from falling. Panels can be held together with sash clamps, ratchet, straps or stabilising bars.

4.3 ARMGO Panel HandlingMechanically Assisted Handling

Moving and handling ARMGO Panels should be done as much as possible using mechanical aids such as forklifts, crane and special panel lifting trolleys.

Health, Safety & Personal Protective Equipment (PPEI)

The ARMGO Board component in ARMGO Panel is non-toxic and cement based, which may irritate the skin the skin, resulting in itching and occasionally a red rash. The wearing of gloves and suitable clothing to reduce abrasion and irritation of the skin is recommended when handling ARMGO Panels.

Approvedrespirators(AS/NZS1715andAS/NZ1716)and eye protection (AS1336) should be worn at all times when cutting and chasing.

Cutting

The use of power tools when cutting through the ARMGO Board component in ARMGO Panel may cause dust. Repeated and prolonged exposure to the dust may cause health issues. When cutting ARMGO Panels it is required to wear a P1 or P2 respirator and eye protection. It is also essential to carry out all the cutting in a well-ventilated space and wear hearing protection. Apply necessary safety measures as required by the Australian Worksafe regulation.

Manual Handling

Aussi Rossrock recommends using a trolley or other mechanical apparatus to move the ARMGO Panels around the work site. Manual handling where people physically move a board should be kept to a minimum, with the weight being supported by an individual kept as small as possible. Any concerns regarding the weight to be handled should be discussed regarding the weight to be handled should be discussed with the board installation contractor

To minimise the possibility of manual handing injuries, Aussi Rossrock suggests the following:

- Use mechanical aids, such as trolleys, forklifts, cranes and levers, or team lifting to move panels

- Keep the work place clean to reduce the risk or slips, trips and falls, which can cause injury

- Plan the sequence of installation to minimise panel movements and avoid awkward lifts.

- Train employees in good lifting techniques to minimise the risk of injury.

4.4 Design, Detailing and Performance Responsibility

ProjectCertifierand/orBuilder

These professional are typically responsible for:

- Identifying the performance requirements for the project in accordance with the Building Code of Australia and clearly communicating this to the relevant parties.

- Applicability of any performance characteristics supplied by Aussi Rossrock including test and opinion for the project.

- The project consultant’s responsibilities detailed above if one is not engaged in the project.

Aussi Rossrock does not provide consulting services. Aussi Rossrock only provides information that has been prepared by others and therefor shall notbeconsideredexpertsinthefield.

Any party using the information contained in this design guide or supplied by Aussi Rossrock in the course of a project must satisfy themselves that it is true, current and appropriate for the application, consequently accepting responsibility for its use.

It is the responsibly for the architectural designer and engineering parties to ensure that the details in this design guide are appropriate for the intended application

The recommendations in this design guide are formulated along the lines of good building practice, but are not intended to be an exhaustive statement of all relevant data.

Aussi Rossrock is not responsible for the performanceofconstructedwalls,includingfieldperformance, and does not interpret or make judgments about performance requirements in the BCA.

ARMGO Panel engages testing laboratories to test and report on the performance of a wall in accordance with the relevant Australian Standards. Consultants use these reports as the basis for opinions (estimates of laboratory performance) they issue for variations or different arrangements to the tested system, and also to design and specify walls that meet appropriate criteria for a particular project. Using their experience, the consultant will make judgment about on-site installed performance of various walls. The performance levels of walls documented in this design guide are either what is reported in a test or the documented opinion of consultants. Performance in projects is typically the responsibility of:

Project Consultants (Structural, Fire, Acoustic, etc.)

The consultants are typically responsible for the following:

- Opinions on expected laboratory performance ofwallconfigurationthatvaryfromactualtestconfiguration,suchassubstitutionproductsandcomponents.

-Judgmentsaboutexpectedfieldperformanceusing laboratory test reports and practical experience.

-Design,specificationandcertificationofstructural,fire,acoustic,durability,weathertightnessandanyother required performance criteria for individual projects

This involved the design and selection of building elements,suchaswallandfloorsandtheirintegration into the building considering the following:

- Interface of different building elements and to the structure/substrate.-Wallandfloorjunctions.- Penetrations.- Flashing issues.- Room/building geometry.-Acousticandwaterpenetrationfield-testing
