Structural Steel Design WorkshopSTRUCTURAL STEEL DESIGNWORKSHOPThis two-day seminar and workshop will address the very important area ofstructural steel design, a structural element that has always been critical in theconstruction of both low and high rise buildings. Unfortunately many structurestoday are designed by means of powerful software programs that result indesigners losing the art of structural design and analysis.This seminar and workshop is a back to basics course which will address thekey areas of steel design with particular reference to the Australian sourcedocument on steel design namely the ‘Structural Design Handbook’ by Gorenc,Tinyou and Syam. First published in 1970 by Gorenc and Tinyou, this publicationis now in its eighth edition (2012) and is invaluable to engineers wishing todesign structures to the Structural Steel Standard AS4100-1998 includingAmendment No.1, 2012. For many years there existed two main grades ofstructural steel 250 MPa and 350 MPa – this all changed in 1998 with therelease of AS4100 (though the working stress format of AS1250 was rebadgedas AS3990 and is still in use today for mechanical engineers).The seminar is broken up into eight sessions and for the most part followsthe text book chapter by chapter. At the end of most sessions, the registrantswill then be given a period of time (usually ½ hr) to hone the skills they havebeen shown in the previous hour by completing a workshop tutorial exercise.Detailed solutions of these tutorial exercises will be worked through and givenout. All sessions will be a blend of seminar presentation followed by workshopexercises thus calculators will be required.PROGRAMME - Day 1PROGRAMME - Day 29.00 – 10.30 Session 5 – Web Stiffeners/Tension MembersThis session addresses the requirements for the use of transverseand longitudinal web stiffeners in beams and columns. These areespecially critical in beams with high shear due concentrated loadsand in portal frame column-rafter connections. The second part ofthis session addresses tension members e.g. UB & UC’s as supportcolumns or Angles (equal and unequal) in bracing. Both bolted andwelded tension members are covered and the failure modes of‘fracture vs yield’ are covered. Tutorial exercise follows.10.30 – 11.00 Morning Tea11.00 – 12.30 Session 6 – Compression Members & BeamColumnsThis session addresses in more detail compression membersand beam columns both with concentric and eccentric loading.Parameters such as form factors, compression member constants,axial member capacities and design bending moments are analysedin more detail with a step by step working through detailedexamples. Euler buckling loads, unequal moment factors andamplification factors are addressed in more detail allowing forreduced section capacities and biaxial effects. In plane and outof plane moment capacities will be explained again with detailedexamples that precede the tutorial worksheets in the final ½ hr ofthis segment.12.30 – 1.30 LUNCH - (Provided at venue)1.30 – 3.00 Session 7 – ConnectionsThis session begins by looking at the basic types of bolts, i.e. snug,tensioned bearing and tensioned friction (4.6 S, 8.8 TB and 8.8 TF).Slip loads, minimum design actions on connections, tensile and shearstrength (threaded vs. shank). It then addresses welding includingthe two main metal arc electrode categories E41XX and E48XX(alternatively W40X and W50X), fillet and butt welds, maximumand minimum fillet weld sizes, weld throat size, weld shrinkagecracking. Standardised connections e.g. angle seat, flexible endplate and base plate connections will also be highlighted. Detailedexamples will be covered followed by connection tutorial exercisesand solutions.3.00 – 3.30 Afternoon Tea3.30 - 5.00 Session 8 – Framing Systems & FailuresThis final session looks at the various structural framing systemsavailable including rigid frames, longitudinal bracing, roof trusses,open and closed sections, steel frames for low rise buildings, purlinsand girts. Included in this topic will be the deflection limits, fatigue,fire and corrosion requirements.5.00 – 5.15 Certificate of Attendance and Feedbacksheets.8.30 – 9.00 Registration9.00 – 10.30 Session 1 – MaterialsThis session looks at the basic terms and properties of steel aswell as the loading parameters required for steel design. Terms &processes involved in producing Hot & Cold rolled sections, CHS,RHS. Parallel flange sections, Welded beams and stress relievingwill be addressed. Other key parameters to be outlined includedtemperature effects on steel (hot, cold and transition temperatures),welding, hydrogen cracking, HAZ, quenched & tempered (Bisalloy),brittle fractures, ductility, steel grades prior to 1998 (250MPa &350MPa) and the new steel grades (300 MPa, 400MPa, 450 MPaand 500 MPa), creep, fatigue & hardness.10.30 – 11.00 Morning Tea11.00 – 12.30 Session 2 – Design CodesThis session will carry on from the previous section looking at thenext stage in the process, namely design aspects such as buildingheight vs. terrain, wind velocity vs. region and wind speeds. It willalso cover the basic aspects of loading including capacity reductionfactors, deflection limits and relevant design codes, bulk materialproperties and imposed actions as per AS1170.12.30 – 1.30 LUNCH - (Provided at venue)1.30 – 3.00 Session 3 – Structural AnalysisThis session looks at design effects in more detail such as structuralframing (isolated beams, braced & unbraced frames FS1 to FS7),Who should attendminimum eccentricities, first and second order effects in columnsEngineers (structural/civil/mechanical/environmental) andvia moment amplification methods, effective lengths, joint rigidity,all structural steel design engineers, Project Managers andbuckled shapes, restraint stiffness, sway stiffness ratios, unequalGovernment engineers handling contract documentationend moment factors.dealing with steel.

AS3600 - 2009 REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN WORKSHOP - BASIC COURSEThe WorkshopSince the release of the Concrete Structures StandardAS3600 in 2009 (plus the Amendments), Civil andStructural engineers have been using this document todesign a multitude of concrete structures however theymay wish to improve their full understanding of all theequations and clauses in this document.This workshop is therefore designed for engineers whowish to hone their skills with reinforced concrete design,understand the Code clauses better or just refresh thestructural design principles learnt at University. With theadvent of computers many engineers have either forgottenor lost the understand of basic structural design and thusneed to carry out basic structural checks by hand or quickestimates of size and reinforcement requirements. Theuse of simple charts can often provide the preliminarystructural sizing required for beams, slabs or footings.PROGRAMMEDAY 18.30 - 9.00 Registration9.00 - 10.30 SESSION 1 - Basics of AS3600 - 2009• Load Combinations to AS1170.0• Durability Issues• Material Properties eg: Concrete Modulus E,• Flexural Strength f’cf, Tensile Strength f’ct,Mean• Strength fcm, Fire Design to AS3600 - 200910.30 - 11.00 Morning Tea11.00 - 12.30 SESSION 2 - Strength / Design• Bending Strength• Design Charts• Ductility Requirements using 500 MPa steel• Rectangular beams, T beams• Singly & Doubly Reinforced Beams• Worked Example & Tutorial Exercise12.30 - 1.30 Lunch - Provided at venue1.30 - 3.00 SESSION 3 - Serviceability / Beams• Allowable Deflections to AS1170.0,AS3600 - 2009• Beam Deflection (Deemed to comply method)• Crack Control in Beams & Slabs toAS3600 - 2009• Worked Example & Tutorial Exercise3.00 - 3.30 Afternoon Tea3.30 - 5.00 SESSION 4 - Deflection / Slabs• Deemed to Comply (L/D) Deflection Method• One Way Slab (single and continuous)Deflections• Four Sided Slab Supported Deflections,• Shrinkage Reinforcement• Worked Example & Tutorial ExerciseDAY 29.00 - 10.30 SESSION 5 - Column Design• Short & Slender Column Design thAS3600 - 2009• Axial Load-Moment Interaction Graph derivation• High Strength Concrete Column Design• End Stiffness - Restraint Factors• Worked Example & Tutorial Exercise10.30 - 11.00 Morning Tea11.00 - 12.30 SESSION 6 - Wall Design / Shear• Wall Design – Axial, Moment & Shear Strength• Beam and Slab Transverse Shear Design• Mohr Circle – Principal and Shear Stress• Worked Example & Tutorial Exercise12.30 - 1.30 Lunch - Provided at venue1.30 - 3.00 SESSION 7 - Footing Design• Simple Square Footing Design• Soil Pressure Basics, Kerns• Rectangular Footing Design• One-way Bending, One-way Shearand Two-way• (Punching Shear) Footing Failure• Worked Example & Tutorial Exercise3.00 - 3.30 Afternoon Tea3.30 - 5.00 SESSION 8 - Development Lengths& Detailing of Reinforcement• Development length Lsy in tensionand compresion• Deemed to comply steel reinforcing detailingrequirements as per AS3600 - 2009Certificates of Attendance and Feedback Sheetshanded out.5.00 – 5.15 Certificate of Attendance andFeedback sheets.Cancellations made more than 5 working days prior to a course will incur a 20% processing fee of the full registration amount.Cancellations made 5 working days or less will incur forfeiture of the full registration fee.SPEAKERSPaul J.

RESIDENTIAL SLABS AND FOOTINGS to as2870-2011- DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION WORKSHOPPROGRAMME8.30 – 9.00 Registration9.00 – 10.30 SESSION 1 - Soil Properties & SiteClassifications to the new AS2870-2011This session looks at the current requirements of AS2870-2011. At present the soil classifications are A, S, M, H (withmodifications to H for deep soils ie HD) however in the newCode the classifications include the new categories of H1 andH2. New clauses relating to the effect of trees (single andgroups) on soil profiles will be addressed as well as new soilsalinity provisions. This session will also address the changesto the suction values (pF) for various locations in Australia.Soil properties and soil tests will be extensively coveredincluding various shrinkage and swelling properties ofAustralian soils. Tests to be addressed include linearshrinkage, Atterberg limits, core shrinkage and shrink-swellindex. Soil properties to be covered include Cation Exchange& Activity ratios for the various clay types, soil suction (matricand osmotic), pF scales, Thornthwaite Moisture Indices,Clay mineralogy and swelling potential (Kaolinites, Illites,Montmorillonites), soil salinity (with reference to new ECcdS/m values).The 2011 code has new clauses relating to the effect of trees(both single and groups of trees).The session will be concluded with a tutorial example oncalculating the surface movement y susing soil shrinkageindex values, suction values, soil layer thicknesses to thenachieve a site classification (eg M, H etc)10.30 – 11.00 Morning Tea11.00 – 12.30 SESSION 2 - Footing Systems to the newAS2870-2011This session looks at the various forms of construction andthe footing systems that are appropriate for those constructiontypes. The forms of construction that will be discussed includeclad frame vs articulate masonry vs masonry veneer, vsarticulated masonry veneer vs full masonry (ie double brick).The footing systems that will then be presented in detailinclude raft slab, footing slab (ie SOG), waffle slab, stiffenedslab and strip footing. Reinforcement requirements for thesefooting types (ie bar vs mesh) will be discussed as well as thenew Code values for footing depths D.In particular, the waffle slab system will be addressed in detaildue to its growing usage in domestic construction over the past20 years. The pros and cons of using this waffle slab systemwill be covered in detail so that engineers and builders do notget caught out on site. The properties of the polystyrene podswill also be covered including proper disposal of these units.Compaction of fill (rolled, controlled, sand and non-sand) inaccordance with AS2870 will be addressed.Bored concrete pier vs steel screw piles will be comparedincluding the decision for choosing one system over the other.1.30 – 3.00 SESSION 3 - Structural Design ofFootings to the new AS2870-2011This session covers the theory behind the structural analysisof residential slabs and footings. Topics to be covered includebearing pressures from single vs double storey construction,deformation in footing due to centre heave and edge heave,line load and edge load. This then relates to the two differentialmound movement philosophies in the code namely the MitchellMethod vs the Walsh Method.The session will then explore the basis behind the BeamStiffness vs Soil Surface Movement graph (Fig 4.1 in AS2870)- its derivation and its use for determining a footing depth basedupon beam spacing, soil profile and (rather than reading offthe simplistic and sometimes conservative D values from theCode tables eg Table 3.1).Full structural calculations will be provided to show designersthe method of design beams and slabs using standardengineering principles and accounting for hogging vs sagging,applied moment, stiffness of the system (ie EI), rigid vs flexibleslabs with particular emphasis on the two methods mentionedearlier ie Mitchell vs Walsh methods.A tutorial exercise will be conducted in the last part of thissession to give attendees the confidence to determine thedepth of beam required for a particular soil site classification(eg H), construction system (eg Masonry), slab system (egWaffle) span (m), beam spacing (m), effect from trees (singlevs group) etc3.00 – 3.30 Afternoon Tea3.30 – 5.00 SESSION 4 - Other Concrete Issueseg mix design, cracksThis session addresses the remaining factors that affectdomestic slab construction. These parameters includematerials used in concrete (flyash blends as well as marketbranding eg builders cement), water cement ratios (inparticular the new industry standard value for slump, namely100mm) and practice on site, mix designs appropriate forresidential concrete.Other topics to be covered include minimization of crackingon slabs by attention to weather conditions (ie temperature,humidity and wind speed to be able to quantify the potential forplastic shrinkage cracking) as well as the use of admixtures,evaporative retarders and curing compounds to assist incracking minimization,Other non structural crack issues such as crazing, plasticsettlement cracking as well as durability and corrosion controlpoints will be highlighted (especially in saline soils) then finallyproper joint saw cutting techniques (where required) will becovered.5.00 – 5.30 Questions/Summary, Feedback Sheets& Certificates of AttendanceSPEAKERPaul J.

Aspects such as water to cement ratio effects,workability and stiffness, air content, heat of hydration, settingtime, shrinkage, strength development as a function of time(concrete maturity) and temperature, bleeding, permeability andporosity.The second session addresses the basic introduction to steelreinforcement properties e.g. yield, bond and anchorage, barsvs mesh, metal vs plastic bar chairs, detailing, prestressing. Theissues of using 500 MPa steel bars and steel mesh with regardsto ductility and size will addressed. Use of plastic and steel fibreswill also be covered.3.00 - 3.30 Afternoon Tea3.30 - 5.00 Session 4 - CONCRETING ON SITETransporting, placing, compacting, finishing and curing concreteon site. Aspects addressed include truck sizes, time limitsfor delivery, site access, delivery rate, pumping, avoidanceof segregation, vibration, screeding, floating by hand and bymachine, curing methods and curing agents and slip resistance.DAY 29.00 - 10.30 Session 5 - TESTINGThis session will deal with testing of cement and concretematerials, fresh concrete and hardened concrete (including coretests). Tests such as VPV, permeability and consistency testssuch as vertical slump and horizontal slump (or spread/flow)in line with the J ring test for self compacting concretes will becovered. Standard tests such compression, indirect tension, flex,shrinkage, creep, and impact rebound testing (Schmidt hammer)will also be addressed.10.30 - 11.00 Morning Tea11.00 - 12.30 Session 6 - DURABILITY &CRACKS IN CONCRETEThe first session deals with durability aspects of concreteincluding abrasion, cover to reinforcement, concrete strength,carbonation, chloride penetration, concrete cancer, exposureenvironment, freeze-thaw conditions, salt attack.The second session addresses cracks in concrete. Aspects suchas hot weather concreting, plastic shrinkage, plastic settlement,thermal cracking, building restraint, inadequate reinforcementare covered.
