remove all signs of the sheared edge. A gas cut edge shall have a maximum surface
roughness of 12 m (Centre Line Average Method).
(b)
Punching In parts subject to plastic deformation, fastener holes shall not be punched
full size. If punched, holes shall be punched undersize and reamed or drilled to
remove the entire sheared surface.
13.3.7 Requirements for fully ductile structures ( >3)

A steel structure which is fully ductile has a structural ductility factor >3 and is required by
AS 1170.4 to be designed in accordance with NZS 1170.5. Steel members and connections
for such structures shall be designed and detailed in accordance with NZS 3404.
