ACCOUNTING AND MANAGEMENT FOR ENGINEERS WORKSHOPNEW COURSE


WORKSHOP SUMMARY This full day workshop is primarily aimed at design engineers and anyone with a technical background needing to perform simple structural designs or design checks on any form of liquid retaining structure (eg reservoirs, water retaining structures and pools).

The interest in saving water has focussed attention on tank design, ensuring that tanks are designed and constructed correctly to address the needs of the community for years to come.

This workshop is particularly appropriate for swimming pool construction. This type of structure needs to be able to withstand the extremes of prolonged drying conditions, high evaporation rates and the need to empty and fill tanks without the problems of crack initiation, efflorescence and other durability issues during this period.

1.30 - 3.00 Session 3 - STRUCTURAL DESIGN

• Methods of simple design to check or carry out: o Simple structural design for a circular and rectangular tank wall o Floor design using H2/Dt (shape factor) vs M charts and ‘beam on

elastic foundation’ theory. • Hoop stress and hoop reinforcement, vertical stress and vertical

reinforcement, maximum crack width and crack control. • Methods of quantifying crack width using crack width formulas. • Cracking caused by excess heat differential in thick walls and floors

(in accordance with the CIRIA C660-2007 publication). • Tutorial exercises allow attendees to carry out quick hand checks on

wall thickness and reinforcement required to satisfy tank actions (liquid loads), base conditions (rigid vs free) and soil conditions.


PROGRAMME (8.30 - 9.00 Registration)

9.00 - 10.30 Session 1 - CONCRETE PROPERTIES & DURABILITY ISSUES

3.30 - 5.00 Session 4 - CONSTRUCTION ISSUES

• Cement and concrete materials required to produce water tight & durable concrete structures. (ie low shrinkage cements, silica fume, flyash and slag blends, carbonation, chloride ingress and sorptivity effects in various concrete grades).

• Causes for concrete cracking, particular plastic shrinkage cracking, plastic settlement cracking and semi-plastic thermal cracking.

• Mix designs required for correct pumping or spraying of concrete (in accordance with Z12, EFNARC and ACI 506R).


• Key areas that should be addressed on site to ensure that cracking does not occur due to construction oversights.

• Issues such as correct choice of formwork (timber vs steel), blowhole minimization, formwork removal timing permeable form-liners, correct choice of vibrator, evaporation control, concrete testing regime, water-stops (both hydrophilic and hydrophobic) and joints (including dowelled and key joints).

WORKSHOP SUMMARY The workshop is designed for engineers who wish to understand the reason why concrete cracks and then how to design structures to eliminate the problem before it happens.

The course will look at all the various forms of cracks that occur both in the plastic state then in the hardened state. It will then look at the structural aspects of cracking in concrete with an emphasis on the cracking formulas used both in Australia and overseas.

Finally, the workshop will address practical cracking details and how to avoid both structural and non-structural cracking in the first place.

All sessions provide worked examples, tutorial exercises and solutions.

1.30 - 3.00 Session 3 - STRUCTURAL CRACKING 1

• Formulas and structural requirements in AS3600-2009. • The 4 key parameters that affect the likelihood of cracks occurring in

hardened structural concrete are (i) Steel Ratio (ii) Bars vs Mesh (iii) Drying Shrinkage Regime (iv) Restraint.

• Formula behind Tables 8.6.1 (A) & 8.6.1(B) in AS3600-2009 which relates bar spacing and bar diameter to steel stress (and therefore crack width).

• Crack equations from various researchers eg Gergely-Lutz (USA), Beeby & Hughes (UK) as well as overseas Codes eg BS8110, BS5400, CEB-FIP, ACI-224R, and Eurocode requirements to compare their results to existing equations and charts.

• Derivation and use of the formula behind the beam and slab equations in AS3600-2009 Section 8.6 and 9.4.3.



9.00 - 10.30 Session 1 - EARLY AGE CRACKING

• Cracks that occur in concrete while is it still soft (ie. its plastic state) • Cracks that occur in the non-structural or plastic state are normally:

o (A) Plastic Shrinkage Cracks, or o (B) Plastic Settlement Cracks.

• For Part A, the 4 key parameters are (i) Air Temperature (ii) Wind Velocity (iii) Relative Humidity (iv) Concrete Temperature. o Formulas and software available (in Australia and Overseas) to

determine the likelihood of plastic shrinkage cracking. o Use of fibres.

• For Part B, the 3 key parameters are (i) Layout of the steel reinforcement (ii) Cover to the top reinforcing steel (iii) Concrete mix design.

• Tutorial to calculate the likely onset of plastic shrinkage cracking or plastic settlement cracking.


3.30 - 5.00 Session 4 - STRUCTURAL CRACKING 2

• Examines ‘Direct Tension’ cracking and the various stress concentration formulas that can be utilized to determine where cracking will occur in concrete and the severity of that cracking.

• Practical details ‘on-site’ which can induce cracking in concrete (eg. dowel type, joint layout, pit locations, slab size, plastic vs non plastic underlays).

• Tutorial to determine the best layout of joints to minimize potential slab cracking.

• Long term causes of concrete cracking eg (a) Steel Reinforcement Corrosion (b) AAR (Alkali Aggregate Reaction).


11.00 - 12.30 Session 2 - THERMAL CRACKING

• Guidelines provided by CIRIA C660 and ACI-207R. • Thermal cracking in concrete usually occurs during either: Phase 1

(Plastic to Semi-plastic state) due to heat of hydration or Phase 2 (Structural State) due to Solar effects.

• The 8 key parameters that increase the probability of thermal cracking in Phase 1 are (i) Cement content (ii) SCM’s used (iii) Air Temperature (iv) Concrete temperature (v) Time of Placement (vi) Member thickness (vii) Formwork used (viii) Degree of Restraint.

WORKSHOP SUMMARY Structures fail. The investigations of these failures are a field of engineering in itself but is also something that many engineers dip in an out of in the course of their work. As another strand of this work an engineer can sometimes be called upon to help stabilise a structure that has been damaged by fire, impacts or some sort of structural failure.

An investigating engineer requires deep experience and a well-rounded understanding of the underlying physical phenomenon, engineering theory, standards, design methodologies and construction process as well as a rigorous approach to investigation and reporting.

By examining fascinating cases from national and international experience, this course will provide some of the tools necessary for an engineer to investigate failed or damaged structures.

Additionally, knowledge of the environments and situations that can lead to failure can help design and construction professionals avoid their own mistakes. This is a form of risk management; it’s far better to learn from someone else’s mistakes than your own!

1.30 - 3.00 Session 3 (Paul Davis) - CASE STUDIES: MATERIALS

The examination of real world failures helps us learn from the past and examine our own practices. With a focus on materials this session includes: • Steel o Large portal frame roof collapse o Walkway collapse o Portal frame in cyclone o Floor dynamic failure o Bridge collapse o Arch collapse

• Concrete o Precast failures o Tilt Up wall collapses o Waterproofing o Ground slabs o Reinforced concrete failures

• Timber o Roof failures o Deflection Failures o Dynamic Failures

• Masonry • Geotechnical o Retaining walls o Residential slabs o Bored pier failures

• Practical exercise



9.00 - 10.30 Session 1 (Paul Davis) - INTRODUCTION, SYSTEMIC CAUSES OF FAILURE & THE PHYSICAL INVESTIGATION

After introductions, we examine the human and technical factors that can lead to a structural fault and then look at how we might go about the site investigation the failure or damage. • Systematic Causes: o Education o Experience o Uncertainties o Design environment o Design processes o Chain of responsibility o Construction

• Investigation techniques: o Investigation team o Initial investigation o Dealing with emergency services, professionals, media and

stakeholders. o Safe investigation methodology o Stabilisation – “make safes” o Recording methods o Gathering evidence


3.30 - 5.00 Session 4 (Paul Uno) - CASE STUDIES: ACTIONS

We continue our examination of real world failures with a focus on actions. This session includes: • “Regular” actions: o Live loads o Wind o Snow o Earthquake

• “Exotic” actions o Fire o Water o Material deterioration o Impacts

• Practical exercise • Course review


11.00 - 12.30 Session 2 (Paul Davis) - TECHNICAL REPORT WRITING

Technical report writing demands a clarity of approach and style which can be beneficial in fields beyond forensic engineering. The session includes: • Language • Layout • Style • Common mistakes • Professional responsibilities • Logical argument structures • Practical exercise

FORENSIC ENGINEERING WORKSHOP

NEW COURSE


WORKSHOP SUMMARY This workshop teaches the intricacies of the Plumbing Code in relation to the design of roof guttering and drainage systems.

Designing to the Code is quite different than designing for a Municipal system, or designing for the usual Civil Engineering application. There are a lot of simplifications, rules of thumb, tables and charts that must be complied with.

You will learn how to find the correct storm intensity for each different area of the building site, as roofs, gutters and site areas all have different intensities.

Roof gutters are spatially varied flow with interruption to the flow from the falling water, and bends (if any). The usual open channel flow formulas don’t quite work.

A Down pipe is a vertical pipe that does not flow full, so the usual pipe flow formulas also can’t be used. Storm water pipe design is vastly simplified. Hydraulic grade levels, and pipes flowing part full are not involved. You will learn the simple techniques to replace this standard method, and how to save hours in design time. This workshop will show you the correct approach to designing eaves gutters, box gutters, sumps, rain water heads, downpipes, and storm water drainage pipes to the Australian Plumbing Code. Certifying Authorities are also beginning to insist on documentation by a recognized body (ie Engineers) verifying the design of such things.

With the advent of the National Construction Code, it is now possible to also design for cases that fall outside the limited range of the Plumbing Code. However, this design must be by a recognized authority (ie Engineers).

Also, Architects appreciate their engineers being able to help with their design development phase, which incorporates gutter sizing (especially box gutters), and downpipe sizing and location.

This workshop teaches how to do those things in accordance with the Australian Plumbing Code AS/NZS 3500.3:2015.

11.00 - 12.30 Session 2 (Ken Sutherland) - OPEN CHANNEL FLOW (Eaves, Gutters & Down Pipes) • Open Channel Flow in relation to eaves gutters. • Design of eaves gutters, downpipes and overflows. Code methods

and formulas. • Incorporating rectangular downpipes and semicircular eaves gutters. • How to work from a given gutter size and find the size and number

of downpipes required. • How to work from a given downpipe size and find the number

required and the required gutter size. • How to work from a given number of DP’s and find the size and

associated eaves gutter size. • How to design an overflow system for eaves gutters. Especially high

fronted gutters. • Design for valley gutters and flat roofs. • How siphonic systems work.


1.30 - 3.00 Session 3 (Ken Sutherland) - OPEN CHANNEL FLOW (Box Gutters) • Open Channel Flow in relation to box gutters. • Finding the worst wind direction for box gutters. • Sizing box gutters with the outlet at one end. • Sizing box gutters with a sump and side overflow. • Sizing box gutters with a

sump and vertical overflow. • Notes on how to go above

the Code limit of 16L/sec. • Overland flow paths. • Rainwater head design. • Fail safe design.

METALLURGY MATERIALS WORKSHOP

WORKSHOP SUMMARY The construction industry in Australia today is going through major changes especially in light of imported building products. Engineers are therefore not only having to design structures but also now be aware of the potential variance in material properties of the construction materials used in their design. In particular, structural steels being imported into the country often vary in their chemistry and material properties compared to Australian steels. This workshop will allow both structural and mechanical engineers to fully understand the chemical, physical and structural properties of steels and the alloys that are included within them.

WIND DESIGN WORKSHOP - LOW RISE STRUCTURES

WORKSHOP SUMMARY This one day workshop will address the key aspects of basic wind design as per AS/NZS 1170.2-2011 and outlined in the session headings below.

This wind course is primarily aimed at engineers who will design structures less than 8 storeys in height such as smaller office buildings and 3 storey walk ups.

If engineers wish to analyse tall structures under dynamic loading (eg < 1 Hz, cross wind responses, turbulence intensity and damping) then we would refer them to our ETIA course “Wind Design Workshop – Tall Structures”.

Sessions provide worked examples, tutorial exercises and solutions.


1.30 - 3.00 Session 3 - MEDIUM HEIGHT OFFICE BUILDING (L-Shaped + Shielding) - SINGLE STOREY HOUSE (on cliff top overlooking sea)

• Two different case studies: a) The first example (Ex 5.11) is an 8 storey office building with

nonrectangular shape and shielded by other surrounding buildings. The example is located in Canberra (but as usual all examples can be applied anywhere in Australia or NZ).

b) The second case (Ex 5.2) is a single storey home located on a cliff overlooking the sea (in Victoria). Parameters which come into play for this example include the ‘Hill Shape’ multiplier and design loading for windows and roof cladding and battens.



9.00 - 10.30 Session 1 - WIND ACTION THEORY

3.30 - 5.00 Session 4 - LARGE SIGHT SCREENS & ADVERTISING HOARDINGS - PITCHED FREE ROOFS • Wind is by far the most crucial loading in Australia (once dead and

live loads have been addressed). Its complexities and unusual behaviour require a more detailed analysis than that required for permanent and imposed actions.

• The basic principles of wind design as well as the development of this Standard over many years.

• Requirements of the BCA and its relevance to AS/NZS1170.2 - 2011.


• Two different case studies: a) The first example (Ex 5.8) is the design of a sight screen at a

cricket ground 6m x 6m x 5m (similar to the design of a large advertising board) which is located in north QLD. Unique wind factors include net porosity factor, normal and oblique wind directions, eccentricity of loads and serviceability limits.

b) The second case (Ex 5.9) is the design of a pitch free roof over a storage area. The Tasmanian structure addresses parameters such as lag distance and changes in terrain leading up to the structure (which impact on the Mz, cat value). It evaluates various situations particular to pitch free roofs (eg empty zone vs blocked zone) under the roof and how the net pressure coefficients vary. Frictional drag forces are also examined.



11.00 - 12.30 Session 2 - INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE BUILDINGS

• Wind design of Steel Framed Industrial Buildings (eg Portal Frame structures) eg warehouses and factories on the edge of urban areas.

• Key parameters to be addressed include: (a) Location (b) Terrain (c) Topography (d) Building Dimensions (e) Building Orientation (f) Regional Wind Speed (g) Aerodynamic Shape Factor (h) Pressures on Doors and Windows



DR JOHN HOLMES BSc(Eng) Ph.D FIE (Aust) • Leading consultant on Wind Loads and Actions throughout the

world and in Australia. • Chairperson of BD6/2 - Wind Actions for Standards Australia. • Involved in writing the various editions of Australian Standards

AS1170.2-1989 and AS/NZS 1170.2 -2002 & 2011.

WIND DESIGN WORKSHOP - TALL STRUCTURES

WORKSHOP SUMMARY This workshop will address key aspects of wind design related to tall structures and thus dynamic forces and effects as per AS/NZS1170.2-2011.

This course is designed for engineers who wish to analyse tall structures that are subjected to dynamic loading (ie frequency < 1 Hz, cross wind responses, turbulence intensity and damping).

The Engineering Training Institute Australia also offer a basic course on Wind Design titled “Wind Design Workshop – Low Rise Structures”.

Attendees are advised to bring their Wind Code to this workshop.

1.30 - 3.00 Session 3 - LATTICE TOWERS AND CIRCULAR STACKS: WIND DESIGN

• Design of wind on a range of miscellaneous structures such as steel lattice towers and steel chimney stacks. It is imperative to allow for dynamic effects on these structures (cross wind response being a critical element of this process) as well as factors such as their solidity ratio, sway frequency, surface roughness, drag force coefficients and amplitude of movement under wind loads.

• Lattice towers (typical examples include communication towers), and chimney stacks (or even tall circular concrete or steel light poles) all require a static and dynamic analysis to allow for all potential loads that can be imposed on these structures so the Cdyn calculation is a key parameter to be quantified in this process.



9.00 - 10.30 Session 1 - WIND DYNAMICS THEORY

• Wind is by far the most crucial loading in Australia (once dead and live loads have been addressed). Its complexities and unusual behaviour require a more detailed analysis than that required for permanent and imposed actions.

• Advanced principles of dynamics (eg simple harmonic motion, natural frequency, modes of vibration, spring stiffness vs mass effects) and how they relate to wind design as per well as AS/NZS1170.2-2011 and other Standards and test results from Wind Tunnel testing.


3.30 - 5.00 Session 4 - WIND TUNNEL TESTING FOR DYNAMIC EFFECTS ON STRUCTURES

• Pros and cons of conducting wind tunnel testing. (Graeme Wood operates a very large wind tunnel in Sydney and thus has first-hand experience in this area).

• Explain the various aspects of wind tunnel testing and how it can most times benefit the designer by showing exactly where the major pressures zones are on a complicated structure and where savings can be made in materials and design.

• Examples will be given as to where wind tunnel testing can reveal areas on a structure that are actually worse than predicted, by simple static design and reference to AS/NZS 1170.2-2011. This is where changes can be made in construction before major flaws are built into a structure.


11.00 - 12.30 Session 2 - MEDIUM AND HIGH RISE BUILDINGS: WIND DESIGN

• Steps for designing either a medium height office building (eg 50m high) or a tall tower office building (eg 200m high) are outlined.

• The medium height building example is a 16 storey (48m high) building located in a city such as Darwin. It is a concrete framed building with glazed window panels, typical within any Australian capital city. o Standard wind input parameters would still be: Location,

Terrain, Topography, Building Dimensions, Building Orientation, Regional Wind Speed and Aerodynamic Shape Factor, however tall structures require the calculation of Dynamics effects, Base Moments and Sway Frequencies.

• The tall building example is located in Brisbane QLD (but applies equally to all Australian states). The building is a 60 storey building (183m) with ultimate wind velocities of 60 m/s (for average recurrence interval R = 1/1000 ie return period = 1000 years) as per Region B. Design wind speeds are also calculated for special cases, namely: (A) Acceleration checks (using Vdes,θ = 30 m/s); (B) Cladding checks (using Vdes,θ = 73.8 m/s); (C) Main Structure Checks (using Vdes,θ = 70.1 m/s). o Specialised parameters such as ‘Along’ Wind Response and

‘Cross’ Wind Response are calculated as are Base Moments and Torsion contribution.
