AS3600 Fire Design Walls Structural Adequacy 1

Hi

Does any know whether it's permitted to use an interpolation between strength utilizations of 0.35 and 0.7 when using table 5.7.2. I would like to use a midpoint value with utilization of 0.5. However I believe that if I am over the 0.35 limit I should go straight to the 0.7 values or use the equation provided in 5.6.2(2).

The clever people who wrote the commentary know! They tell you in the first sentence of commentary on 5.7.2!

Thank you. Seems like a good sentence to include to the code proper.
