Changes in AS 3700 (2018) and design of reinforced masonry in compression Unreinforced and reinforced masonry construction will be examined including the contribution of the steel reinforcement in stack bonded block wall construction and managing durability issues.

Revision of AS/NZS 4671 and proposed inclusion of high-strength reinforcement AS 3600 – 2018 incorporated reinforcing steel grades in the range of 500 MPa to 800 MPa and the scope and limitations of these higher strength materials will be discussed. An overview of the current AS/NZS 4671 project scope and expected program including the potential engineering applications for high strength steels, chemical and mechanical requirements and a brief update on recent industry research into long term quality mill data will be provided. Delegates will learn about the changes to these Standards with respect to reinforcing steels and the impact these will have on design.

Quality procurement of reinforcement Attendees will be given a brief overview of the Australian Government focus on non-conforming building products over recent years. Attendees will gain a clear understanding on how to efficiently manage the engineering risks associated with the procurement of steel reinforcing materials. Examples of the certificates that must be obtained with reinforcement supply to demonstrate conformance to the Australian Standard will be shown. This is the engineering proof that conforming products are supplied and meet the design assumptions prior to the concrete being placed.

Release of the new Guide to Historical Steel Reinforcement in Australia The Guide won the CIA NSW Innovation and Technology Award category and is now being judged for a National Award which is to be announced at the Concrete2019 conference on 10 September 2019. An author’s copy of the new Guide will be display at this technical presentation along with registration forms for registering interest for the offset printed 2 Volume Hardcover book, available after Concrete2019.

This role delivers technical support to the Australian Design & Construction market, Australian Standard development and the National Tertiary support package. Eric is a Civil and Structural Engineer with a wealth of industry experience. This includes a recent engagement with a Consulting Engineering firm in Christchurch, NZ assisting with the rebuild of earthquake damaged structures and this followed a 5 year position of Senior Lecturer at the University of Wollongong developing and teaching Civil Engineering course materials for the design of reinforced concrete masonry structures and concrete technology. Prior to this Eric was employed by Cement Concrete and Aggregates Australia (CCAA) for 15 years delivering technical support and development of the Associations

publications. Eric’s Engineering career includes 13 years in the Consulting Engineering Profession and a period with the Department of Main Roads, NSW. He is a member of various Standards Australia Committees including BD-098 Pavements and BD-004 Masonry Structures.

Scott Munter – SRIA Executive Director Scott Munter is a structural engineer and Executive Director for the Steel Reinforcement Institute of Australia. Previously Scott worked for BlueScope Steel for 3 years.Scott served for 7 years with Australian Steel Institute working on a variety of key projects such as the Steel Connection Design Series. Scott also has a broad 15 year commercial, industrial and residential track record as a Civil & Structural Consulting Engineer in the Engineering Design and Construction field. He graduated with a Bachelor of Structural Engineering (University of Technology, Sydney) in 1991. As a Fellow of Engineers Australia he holds Charter Professional Engineer & NER (Structural) status. He is a member of a many Standards Australia committees including BD-006 General Design Requirements and Loading on Structures, BD-002 Concrete Structures, BD-090 Bridge Design, BD-032 Composite Structures and BD-025 Residential Slabs and Footings.
