Innovations in the Design and Construction of Steel and Composite Structures

Robustness in the Design and Construction of Steel and CompositeStructuresBy Prof. Richard Liew, National University of Singapore This presentation will explain the concept of robustness design as well as the methods to enhance structural integrity and redundancy in steel and composite structures. The lessons learnt from the past collapses and strategies to mitigate such risks will also be explained. Case studies will be discussed to identify hazard prone areas and measure the vulnerability of buildings against willful attack. Recent technical guidelines for hazard resistant construction and design of buildings will also be presented.

Compliance with Steel Material Standards: Certification or Testing?By Prof. Chiew Sing Ping, Nanyang Technological UniversityProduct conformance, consistency in quality and material traceability are critical issues when a wide choice of steel materials is allowed to achieve greater economy and design competitiveness. The mill test certificates are no longer adequate to demonstrate compliance with material standards. This presentation will examine the various means by which the manufacturers and the end users of steel materials can demonstrate compliance with standards.

Fire Resistant Design of Steel and Steel-Concrete Composite StructuresBy Prof. K F Chung, Hong Kong Polytechnic UniversityPerformance-based approach prov ides great advantages over the prescriptive approach in structural fire engineering as it allows designers to use rational structural fire engineering methods to assess the fire safety of building structures.Prof KF Chung will present an overv iew of well-established test and analysis methods using both prescriptive and performance-based approaches in assessing the fire resistance of various structural members in buildings.

Burj Dubai Pinnacle Lift-up Method EngineeringBy Prof Sang Dae Kim, Korea University Burj Dubai Tower is currently the tallest building in the world. On the top of BurjDubai Tower, the pinnacle of 500 tonne weight & 140 m length was mounted using lift-up method engineering. This method allows the steel pinnacle to be div ided into 25 pieces and built up on the ground. Each piece was lifted up and assembled on the top of the Burj Dubai structure. Prof SD Kim will elaborate on the method of erection.

The Fusionopolis Use of Composite ConstructionsBy Er Chan Yek Seng, Jurong ConsultantsThe Fusionopolis project development consists of 2 high-rise towers of 22 & 24 storeys which soar to an overall height of approximately 135 metres. The development includes a retail podium, a theatre pod and 6 levels of basement. The concept design is generated through its strong structural expression which is achieved through the extensive use of structural steel in combination with reinforced concrete core walls. The presentation will discuss the challenges faced in the design and construction of composite structures in the Fusionopolis project.

Innovative steel strutting system for basement and temporary work constructionBy Mr Ho Wan Boon, Yongnam Engineering and Construction Pte LtdThis presentation will introduce an innovative modular steel strutting system used for basement and temporary work construction. Mr Ho Wan Boon will elaborate on the inspection & testing regime and quality control issues of the system. Case-studies of successful implementation of the system in construction projects with an emphasis on its ease of installation, recovery and re-use will also be discussed.
