This presentation will cover developments in Australian Standards, the latest SRIA Technical Note, new SRIA Design Guide under development and various reinforcement practices, including quality of steel reinforcement materials. Specific areas to be covered include: Australian Standards. Various commonly used Standards have either recently been revised, or are in the process of being revised. Some significant changes from the following Standards that will impact on the way reinforced concrete structures and pavements are designed and detailed will be reviewed: a) AS/NZS 2425: 2015 Bar chairs in reinforced concrete – Product requirements and test methods b) AS 3727:2016 Pavements Part 1: Residential c) AS 3700: Masonry structures (currently being revised with public comment closing on 28th August) d) AS 3600: Concrete structures (currently being revised with public comment draft released in August or September) e) AS 1554.3 Welding of reinforcing steel SRIA Technical Note. The SRIA has recently released a new Technical Note TN7 Stress Development and Lap Splicing of Straight D500N Tensile Reinforcing Bars to AS 3600-2009. An overview of this freely available publication will be provided, with worked examples of how the design tables can be used to quickly and efficiently determine the required development or lap length for reinforcing bars in tension for various combinations of k1 and k7 factors and concrete strengths. SRIA Design Guide. An overview of the upcoming Guide for Historic Reinforcement will be provided. Reinforcement Practices. Site bending, re-bending and heating steel reinforcement will be examined, outlining poor practices and the procedures required to maintain the design material properties of the steel reinforcement. Quality. Quality of materials is fundamental to this presentation and information on the quality certification of reinforcing steel will be covered. Cont. over page

Scott Munter – SRIA Executive Director Scott 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 & NPER (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. Eric Lume - SRIA National Engineer Eric is the National Engineer at the SRIA. 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. Please note: All attendees will receive one of the SRIA’s new crack gauges.
