| CON3001: Transverse Slotted Holes Design Bearing Strength | login to download | Connections | 27-Oct-09 | Kevin Cowie |
No distinction is made in the Steel Structures Standard NZS 3404 (SNZ, 2007) between the design ply bearing capacity for a long slotted hole in which the slot is perpendicular to the direction of the bearing load and a standard ... | ||||
| CTG1006: Steel Corrosion Rates in Water and Soil | login to download | Coatings | 20-Oct-09 | Kevin Cowie |
Guidance on typical corrosion steel rates in water and soil for design use is provided in the recently published NZS3404.1 Steel Structures Standard - Materials, Fabrication, and Construction (SNZ,2009). The design rates given are those to be used for ... | ||||
| CON1001: Moment End Plate - Column Side | login to download | Connections | 26-Aug-09 | Kevin Cowie |
Standard moment end plate connections (MEP) have been developed by Steel Construction New Zealand Inc. The design procedures are presented in Structural Steelwork Connections Guide: Design Procedures, SCNZ 14- 1:2007 (Hyland et al, 2008). The connection details are given in table form ... | ||||
| CON1002: CHS Collar Joints | login to download | Connections | 26-Aug-09 | Kevin Cowie |
This article presents a method for designing the collar joints of a moment connection between an I section beam and a circular hollow section (CHS) column. The procedure is developed principally for the semi-rigid flange bolted joint (FBJ). However the principles can ... | ||||
| CON1101: Semi-Rigid Sliding Hinge Joint | login to download | Connections | 26-Aug-09 | Kevin Cowie |
The Sliding Hinge Joint (SHJ) is a new semi-rigid joint system developed for moment resisting steel frames. It has the ability to remain rigid under in-service conditions or ultimate state wind loading, and to rotate under severe earthquake loadings, returning to the ... | ||||
| MAT1005: Properties and Assessment of Historical Structural Steelwork | login to download | Materials | 03-Jul-09 | Kevin Cowie |
The refurbishment or ‘adaptive re-use’ of existing buildings currently forms a significant part of the workload for many architects and engineers. The structural engineer will be required to make an appraisal of the existing steelwork in these buildings. ... | ||||
| GEN3001: Maximum Spacing of Thermal Movement Joints | login to download | General | 03-Jul-09 | Kevin Cowie |
Although buildings are often constructed using flexible materials, roof and structural expansion joints are required when plan dimensions are large. The maximum distance between expansion joints is dependent upon many variables, including ambient temperature during construction and the expected ... | ||||
| ERC1004: Sleeved Holding Down Bolts | login to download | Erection & Construction | 29-Jun-09 | Kevin Cowie |
One of the greatest problems faced by a steel erector on site is inaccuracy in the locations of the anchor bolts. Precision surveying equipment and techniques are required to accurately set out solidly cast-in anchor bolts in accordance with ... | ||||
| BRD3001: An Introduction to Network Arch Bridges | login to download | Bridges | 29-Apr-09 | Michael Chan & Raed El Sarraf |
This article provides an introduction to network arch bridges and is an excerpt from (Chan and Romanes 2008). ... | ||||
| ERC1003: Extending High Tensile Anchor Rods with Couplers | login to download | Erection & Construction | 27-Apr-09 | Kevin Cowie |
There are instances where high tensile anchor rods have been cast in with insufficient projection above the concrete. Extending the anchor rods by welding is generally not permitted. One method to extend the anchor rod is by the ... | ||||
