The South African National Conference on Loading was convened by the South African Institution of Civil Engineering in 1998 to deliberate on the future of the South African loading code. During this loading code conference the decision was taken to review the South African Loading Code SABS 0160:1989. The primary guidelines given by the South African national Conference on loading for the revision of SABS 0160:1989 were that the loading code should serve all the local material codes and that it should be referenced to ISO- standards. Consequently the sub-committee of SABS SC 5120.61M 'Construction Standards - bases for structures' was established and the working group WG61M was convened by the South African Institution of Civil Engineering. The background to the revision, including its need, basis for the proposed standard and motivation for the changes are reported here.
