| ANA5201: Design Example - Analysis and Design of Jib Crane Boom | login to download | Structural Analysis | 14-Jul-10 | Charles Clifton; Kevin Cowie |
This article provides an example of how to design the boom of a jib crane to NZS 3404 (SNZ, 2007). This example illustrates the use of second order and restraint requirements of NZS 3404. ... | ||||
| EQK1002: Research, Development and Design Rules of Moment Resisting Seismic Frames with Reduced Beam Sections | login to download | Earthquake | 09-Jul-10 | Kevin Cowie |
Structural design for large seismic events must explicitly consider the effects of response beyond the elastic range. The moment resisting seismic frame is designed to form beam plastic hinges near the face of the column. After the discovery ... | ||||
| EQK1003: Design Considerations and Benefits of Moment Resisting Seismic Frames with Reduced Beam Sections | login to download | Earthquake | 09-Jul-10 | Kevin Cowie |
The design of moment resisting seismic frames can by optimised with the use of reduced beam sections. In a reduced beam section (RBS) moment connection (Figure 1) portions of the beam flanges are selectively trimmed in the region adjacent ... | ||||

| GEN7001: Portal Frame Design Tips Seminar Proceedings | login to download | General | 27-Apr-10 | Clark Hyland |
In October 2009, Steel Construction New Zealand Inc. (SCNZ), ran technical seminars throughout NZ. One of the topics covered was 'Portal Frame Design Tips', presented by the Manager of SCNZ, Clark Hyland. These proceedings outline the main message ... | ||||
| CMP1006: Fire Design and Serviceability Issues – Metal Deck Slabs subject to Concentrated Loading | login to download | Composite | 08-Feb-10 | Alistair Fussell; Clark Hyland; Charles Clifton |
The material in this paper draws on previous SCNZ and HERA reports (Fussell et al 2006, Barber and Clifton 1994 and Clifton 2006) which cover the ultimate limit state design of metal slabs subject to concentrated loading and fire engineering ... | ||||
| MEM1001: Hot Rolled I Sections Seismic Category Classification | login to download | Member Design | 22-Dec-09 | Kevin Cowie; Alistair Fussell |
All steel members which form part of a seismic resisting frame are classified into one of 4 categories for the purpose of seismic design. Category 1 members are capable of sustaining high displacement ductility demands. Category 2 members ... | ||||
| MEM1002: Welded I Sections Seismic Category Classification | login to download | Member Design | 22-Dec-09 | Kevin Cowie; Alistair Fussell |
All steel members which form part of a seismic resisting frame are classified into one of 4 categories for the purpose of seismic design. Category 1 members are capable of sustaining high displacement ductility demands. Category 2 members ... | ||||
| MEM2001: Lateral Restraint of Yielding Regions in Columns and Beams in Multi-Storey Buildings | login to download | Member Design | 16-Dec-09 | Charles Clifton |
This article provides general guidance on applying the lateral restraint provisions for yielding regions given in Clause 12.6.2 of NZS3404 (SNZ, 2007) to columns and beams of multi-storey buildings. It includes simplification of those provisions which can be made when ... | ||||
| EQK1001: Steel Performance in the Padang Earthquake 2009 | login to download | Earthquake | 30-Oct-09 | Clark Hyland & Scott Miller |
A M7.6 earthquake, with depth 80 km, occurred near Padang City, Sumatra, Indonesia on September 30, 2009. The overwhelming majority of the buildings damaged were reinforced concrete frames with unreinforced brick infill panels, reflecting the popularity of this form of ... | ||||
