Suspended floor slabs are always an area of interest for architects, engineers and contractors. The overall slab depth affects architecture while the span affects engineering. For a contractor suspended slabs are one of the most complicated components of a building to construct.

Composite slabs which make use of composite beams, generally made from hot rolled I sections connected by suitable shear connectors to a reinforced concrete slab, present an incredibly convenient way of addressing most architectural, engineering and construction challenges.

This method of construction is very attractive to architects because it is possible to fit services into the area between the steel beams. This helps to reduce overall building height. Moreover, the utilization of steel in tension and concrete in compression can result in very efficient design for engineers. Finally, the ability to construct slabs without the need for temporary props and formwork is very attractive to contractors because it cuts costs and results in major times savings.

SANS 10162 part 1 permits the use of steel decks as permanent shuttering for the slabs of composite beams under certain conditions. The code requirements for steel decks, and stud connectors used with steel decks, are summarized in figure 9,1 of the Red Book.

The design of composite slab systems, where the steel deck not only acts as permanent shuttering but also serves as tensile reinforcement for the concrete slab is not covered by SANS 10162. A number of proprietary

composite slab systems are available and technical design data can be obtained from suppliers of these systems.

The fire resistance of such slab systems is yet another consideration in the design of composite slabs. The SAISC course on the design and construction of composite buildings covers this topic in some depth. The course presents simple methods of designing and specifying passive fire protection to achieve up to 3 hours of fire resistance as per the requirements of SANS 10400 Part T.Concrete slabs play an important structural and non-structural role in composite floor design. Proper care must be taken to ensure that the concrete is well proportioned, mixed, transported, placed, finished, protected, cured and acceptance tested.

All slabs must be adequately reinforced to support specified loads and to minimize and control cracks caused by shrinkage, longitudinal shear due to composite action, flexural rotation at the beam joints, diaphragm stresses and stress concentrations around openings.

Composite slab systems have been in use in South Africa for several decades. There is a good level of knowledge and expertise in the construction industry to deliver these slabs safely and efficiently. South African engineers know how to design them and fabricators have a history of fabricating and erecting them proficiently.

It’s time for architects and developers to drop less efficient, and riskier, methods of delivering suspended slabs and exploit modern approaches that provide benefits to all involved.

Section 9 of the Southern African Steel Construction Handbook (The Red Book) provides information for the design of composite beams, generally made from hot-rolled steel I-sections connected by suitable shear connectors to a reinforced concrete slab, in accordance with Clause 17 of SANS 10162: Part 1.

Propped and unpropped construction

After erection of the steel beams and decking or shuttering, but before casting of the concrete slab, temporary props are sometimes placed under the beams to prevent deflection caused by the weight of the newly poured concrete.

With unpropped construction, the selection of a steel section is usually governed by construction considerations such as deflection and stress in the steel section under fresh concrete loading, and not by the resistance of the composite section. If the beams are propped during the placing of the concrete slab and the props remain in position until the concrete has attained 75 per cent of its design strength, the fresh concrete condition no longer plays any role in the selection of the steel section, making the use of lighter steel sections possible.

As a general rule, propped construction should be avoided on fast-track projects because it defeats two of

the major objectives of steel construction, namely speed of erection and early access for follow-on trades.

Steel deck and ribbed slab systems

SANS 10162: Part 1 permits the use of steel decks as permanent shuttering for the slabs of composite beams under certain conditions. The Code requirements on steel decks and on stud connectors used with steel decks are summarized in Figure 9.1. below:

This intensive course for engineers delivered via Zoom in 4 x 2 hour sessions, introduces delegates to essential technical know needed to design composite building systems. Avoid costly revisions and project delays by gaining insight that will allow you to ensure that adequate quality assurance is done during construction.

The course entails the design, detailing, and quality assurance of multi-story steel-framed buildings with composite floors. Beam design, floor design, typical details and fire protection are addressed. The course will include quality assurance from the engineers’ perspective.

MEETING CUSTOMER EXPECTATIONS

One of the biggest challenges in the metal cladding industry is meeting customer expectations. Within the chain there are a number of customers, ranging from the profiler, the cladding installer, the architect and/or the engineer to the end customer. Whilst the common expectations are value for money and customer satisfaction each of the customers have expectations unique to their vocation.

The end customer wants a building that is esthetically appealing, constructed from durable materials that will require minimal maintenance during the building’s service life whilst providing a comfortable environment for the occupants. There is an increasing demand that the building and the materials used in its construction are environmentally friendly. The architect is the customer who is charged with fulfilling these expectations, a formidable task in an industry populated with a mix of reputable traders and unscrupulous chancers together with a mix of locally produced and imported products.

When it comes to cladding the most important factors are the structural ability of the cladding system and the durability of the protective coating with the latter being the most common item not to meet expectations

particularly in the case of colour coated materials. Another common disappointment is the early onset of corrosion. When selecting material for cladding it is important to establish the corrosivity of both the macro and micro environments in which it will have to operate including internal processes and fallout from extractors and vents. In this regard it will be prudent to apply for a provisional warrantee from the coil manufacturer/s prior to going to tender and most of all check that the proffered warrantee meets all your expectations and does not contain impractical restrictions for the profiler and installer who have to process and handle the finished product.

The finish and effectiveness of the cladding envelope is derived from the competence of the installer and his adherence to the profiler’s specifications. The majority of leaks emanate from improperly installed flashings. An installer that provides paint-on membranes in lieu of engineered metal flashings has no place in the metal cladding industry. Another point to remember is that no installer can hide the effects of misaligned supporting steelwork. In order to meet expectations installers rely on the integrity of the profiler to provide accurately profiled cladding

rolled from the specified material and their ability to provide sound technical backup. It is always advisable to use installers approved by the profiler. Some profilers underwrite the workmanship of approved installers.

Unfortunately there are only a limited number of reputable profilers who can be relied upon to provide specified materials and fully engineered cladding systems. Substitution of invariably inferior materials is rife. Profilers rely on coil producing mills to supply materials produced to internationally recognized standards and to constantly improve the quality of their products. An often overlooked aspect is the damage inflicted by following trades including the installation of plant and alternative energy systems on roof cladding, rather seek advice from the profiler before proceeding than to discover posthumously the negative impact and possible negating of warranties.

As a final point it is imperative to stress the need for good communication between the parties to ensure their respective expectations are met, do not assume everybody is a mind reader make sure there is a meeting of the minds. Fit for purpose rarely meets customer’s expectations.

The difficulties of accessing remote sites, combined with the challenge posed by flight and travel restrictions due to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, will result in a fundamental shift in the South African construction industry towards adopting digital assets. With many projects shuttered as a result of the lockdown, the industry is likely to adopt remote working as the ‘new normal’ in order to get these projects up and running again under Alert Levels 3 to 1.

A leader in digital delivery is infrastructure delivery company AECOM, which has a range of tools and solutions to not only allow employees to work remotely, but to also assist its clients in obtaining remote oversight of their project locations. An example of this innovation has been the development of the Digital Technical Quality Review (DTQR) process, a collaboration between AECOM’s Quality and Digital Project Delivery teams across EMEA to streamline the review process inside the cloud-based project environment, Autodesk BIM360.

The DTQR is a solution that enables digital drawing mark-ups/issues and prompts project reviews at key milestones to ensure quality. “This is a much smarter process than the traditional analogue method,” notes Craig Howie, AECOM South Africa Digital Project Delivery Lead. “The fact that all information is captured in a single area means there is a digital record of all activities, like a paper trail without the waste of paper!”

In conjunction with the DTQR is a major drive from the company to move away from office-bound servers to fully cloud-based platforms that can be accessed from any location. While this process has already been underway for some time, especially for all new projects, it has really been given impetus by the Covid-19 crisis. Indeed, Howie says there is now a strong sense of urgency in the construction industry to move to cloud-based solutions for better resilience and collaboration globally.

Another area that has seen considerable investment is modern collaboration and communication tools. “We are definitely using these far more extensively than before, with the main focus on the collaborative potential to be able to have multi-user conversations and work on documents seamlessly across teams,” adds Howie.

The company is also promoting its Reality Capture solution, based on 360° cameras deployed on-site to take high-resolution photographs in strategic areas flagged by the design team. This allows for all relevant project information and updates to be accessible remotely via an app. “It allows the client to visit their site virtually, without having to actually physically go there. Not only is this a huge cost benefit, but it is also highly interactive and therefore the entire professional team can contribute and be involved during all stages,” explains Howie.

“It was important before the Covid-19 crisis and is going to be even more important now due to the restrictions of getting to site. Reality Capture allows us to bring the site to the client and our design teams, so that all involved in a project are up-to-date. In the past, we have always relied on our staff having to travel to site to capture still photos, critical photos were always missed and repeat site visits required, while also being very one-dimensional in nature, so Reality Capture definitely offers a lot of scale and benefit going forward.”

Such remote solutions were already commonplace at the company prior to the hard lockdown, which made the transition to remote working fairly painless. Here the major challenge was ensuring that employees were set-up properly to work from home. Internal surveys were conducted to not only assess employees’ exact needs in this regard, but also to gauge the success of the transition.

“These surveys have been very helpful in terms of the information they have provided, meaning we now have a lot of internal metrics on remote working,” reports Howie. This ranges from how employees access the internet at home, to how many people share a connection, such as spouses also remote working and children researching homework, to bandwidth performance and data download and upload speeds.required for most cloud-based solutions.

MEMBER NEWSCRAIG HOWIEAECOM

AECOM NAVIGATES COVID-19 BYFOCUSING ON DIGITAL DELIVERY

“Our digital offering is enabling us to continue working. Obviously the internet speed, stability and amount of data is a big factor in all we do. Not only is this a bit of a stumbling block in South Africa, but we are also faced with very expensive data costs. We as architects and engineers work in a global environment, which means we are competing on a global stage. Internet speed is access to information and therefore the ability to do work. It is really critical that South Africa ensures it has the best internet infrastructure possible, as this is the backbone of so many industries, especially construction and design.”

What gives AECOM a leading edge in digital delivery is what Howie cites as its “unprecedented integration across different industry platforms.” AECOM has some of the largest global enterprise agreements with major vendors such as Autodesk, Microsoft, ESRI and Bentley. “Clients utilising our professional services have seamless access to these platforms, which is a major advantage for their projects and advances their own digital transformation at the same time.”

While the local and international market stands at a difficult moment, with many local projects either on hold or cancelled due to the Covid-19 crisis, Howie says that AECOM South Africa has been able to pivot to work in the Middle East, where projects are more active. “This allows us to diversify out of our local market and gain international traction and experience,” highlights Howie. As for the future, he concludes that not only is remote working here to stay, but that digital delivery will gain increasing importance and momentum in the construction industry.

The Covid-19 pandemic is driving important shifts in designing spaces within buildings. This encompasses the provision of fresh air and ventilation, increased monitoring of the internal environment, maintenance and cleaning activities and different procedures for entering a building and using its facilities.

For example, designing office fit-outs now involves increased distance between desks, installing protective screens, improved wayfinding to limit occupant and visitor interaction in circulation areas and automation of internal doors to limit surface contact. Proper outdoor air distribution with increased ventilation rates is also required to reduce pathogen build-up in the air.

In terms of infrastructure, many leading global cities are changing the way public transport operates by making a concerted effort to increase alternative mobility – that is, non-motorised transport, including cycling lanes and bicycles, e-scooters and pedestrianising the inner city.

“All of these measures are being taken to ensure the health and well-being of occupants and visitors of buildings and communities at large,” comments Yovka Raytcheva-Schaap, Associate, Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) Consulting & Project Management at Zutari.

Essentially, when designing new buildings, project teams should have a deeper appreciation of the contextual characteristics of sites, the location and climatic conditions, the availability or lack of finite resources and the ecological and social make-up of neighbourhoods. Thus the design development can be fully integrated with the organic offering of the sites.

In addition, passive design must be fully explored and implemented as a first step to reduce dependency on utilities, to make real estate more self-sufficient and resilient and to approach net zero performance.

The lockdown imposed due to the Covid-19 pandemic has not only reduced air and car travel, but has resulted in many people working from home thanks to the latest technologies for digitising business and operational processes. Pollution and greenhouse gas emissions have subsequently declined as people now fly and drive less.

“In returning to a ‘new normal’ post Covid-19 world, we must be more appreciative of such alternative ways of interaction, and be more caring towards each other and the environment we live in. Our efforts towards a more sustainable future must be renewed and intensified. As we rebuild those parts of the economy that have been negatively affected, or introduce new industries, it is our responsibility to shape a more sustainable future,” highlights Raytcheva-Schaap.

It is the government’s responsibility, however, to lead the shift towards a decarbonised economy and more inclusive communities. In this regard, the first step would be to remove the impediments confronting the private sector in producing energy from sources other than fossil fuels.

In addition, the government should incentivise local capacity and production in the sustainable environment that lead to decarbonising the economy, while creating jobs and uplifting communities. “The government could also set an example by taking a leadership role to implement energy, water and waste -reducing strategies for its buildings and infrastructure,” concludes Raytcheva-Schaap.
