Many of the Australian Standards for concrete and concrete related materials have been revised or reviewed in recent times. Further to this there have been

other guidelines or codes of practice, such as the Concrete Durability Series by the Concrete Institute of Australia, that have been introduced. To this end the Concrete Institute of Australia is pleased to present a national seminar aimed at “Cracking the Concrete Codes”

With the current review of AS 3600 taking place, and following the release of the Australia Standard for Bridge Design, AS 5100-2017, the seminar will look at providing industry with a practical understanding of some of the important developments, and how they relate, along with comparing other guidelines.

There are a number of changes that designers and specifiers will need to become familiar with, with respect to both design and construction methods, and in concrete materials technology. The seminar will cover a number of specific alterations in the Standards and the necessary practical design and specification considerations, as well as facilitating an open forum discussion, with the principle objective of clarifying and imparting knowledge with regards to the updates.

The National Seminar is being presented by 2 pre-eminent members of the Concrete Institute of Australia, as well as the Australian Standards BD002 committee reviewing AS3600. In particular, the presenters will look at three main areas that have been added or significantly changed that will impact design and application.

Specifically, these areas are:• Major revisions for design, shear and torsion Provisions for steel fibre reinforced concrete design (SFRC)• Durability provisions and requirements

Course material will include an in-depth set of seminar and presenters notes. The Institute aims to deliver a thorough programme that addresses all the necessary considerations into “cracking the codes”. The seminar presents a great opportunity for concrete industry companies to familiarise their staff with these significant changes, and to provide feedback on the concrete codes.

TOPICS AND THEMES

SHEAR AND TORSION DESIGN

There has been debate in Australia for a number of years that the shear and torsion provisions in our codes has not been satisfactory. Revisions for shear and torsion therefore have been looked at to more closely align with international standards. Professor Michael Collins provided an insight to this when he presented in Australia in 2014.

This session will look at changes that impact both the bridge standard AS5100 and the concrete structures standard, AS 3600, include updates in compression shear theory, the interaction of shear and torsion together, and look at clarifying requirements for detailing of flexural reinforcement for shear and torsion.

STEEL FIBRE REINFORCEMENT DESIGN

There has been significant change in both AS 5100 and AS 3600 to steel fibre reinforcement design requirements. Provision for SFRC is now contained within a separate chapter, by itself, in both of these standards.

The SFRC design provision in the now released AS 5100.5 is slightly different to what will be found in AS3600, as the theory was based on preliminary information. This session will look at the SFRC design requirements and the improvements to be included in the revised concrete structures code AS3600. Further, there will also be an update in serviceability crack control in AS 3600.

DURABILITY DESIGN

AS3600 Concrete Structures has had a rigourous review of the durability information provided in this standard. This comes on the back of a number of changes that were made to AS5100, along with the introduction of a number of durability documents by the Institute, including Z7/04 Good Practice in Design, Construction and Concrete Supply.

This session will look at the differences in these codes and Standards, and aim to explain how they can be applied in practice. There will also be an opportunity to discuss and compare these differences.

OPEN FORUM There will be an open forum to discuss these changes and other implications to the Standards and codes, and how these may impact design and construction practice. The forum will include our two presenters as well as other invited local stakeholders.

PROFESSOR STEPHEN FOSTERProfessor Stephen Foster is Head of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UNSW & has over 30 years’ experience within the concrete industry and concrete materials. He has authored over 200 peer reviewed journal papers and his research interests include the use of high and ultra-high performance concretes, fibre-reinforced concretes, geopolymer concretes, and carbon fibre technologies for strengthening and repair of structures and structural systems. Stephen is an Honorary Member of the CIA and is a prominent member of the Standards Australia committee BD002 that is responsible for the revision and amendments to AS3600 Concrete Structures, where he has been particularly involved with the developments for design for shear and torsion, & the new provisions for steel fibre reinforced concrete.

TONY THOMASTony Thomas’ 40 years’ service in the concrete industry has involved areas including research, construction, advocacy and education where his knowledge in the concrete area has improved design and application, driving improvement in strength, sustainability and durability performance. He has been a key representative in various Technical committees through CIA, CCAA, and Standards Australia. In particular Tony has been a representative on BD002 (AS3600) and BD010 (AS1379), as well the CIA’s Durability committee, where he was chief author of the Z7/04 Durability document “Good Practice Through Design, Concrete Supply, and Construction”. Tony recently retired after holding the position of Chief Engineer at Boral Concrete since 2003, and is an Honorary Member of the CIA.
