摘要：It seems the incidence of severe weather resulting
in damage to buildings and infrastructure !a
causing distress and hardship to communities !a is
on the increase. Is this reported damage indicating
deficiencies in Australia!ˉs building standards
Recent damage surveys have shown that the
majority of contemporary structures remained
structurally sound protecting their occupants,
thereby meeting the life safety objective of
the Building Code of Australia. However,
there were examples of houses designed
and built that did not conform to the relevant
standards, because of the use of incorrect design
parameters, poor construction practices, and
inappropriate materials. It is recommended that
continuing education is required in all steps of
the building process.
