Advanced Analysis to AS 4100

ASI has been in dialogue with Standards Australia around what material we can provide in the webinar presentation and have only just received confirmation from Standards Australia of their policy of not providing specific detail until the public comment draft of AS 4100 is published.

Whilst the core principles of advanced analysis are universal and independent of the particular implementation proposed in AS 4100, we feel the value of the webinar will be diminished if we cannot present detail of the specific implementation proposed in AS 4100. We have therefore made the difficult decision to postpone the webinar until such time as the public comment draft has been released.

The publication date of the public draft of AS 4100 is estimated to occur in Oct/Nov of this year upon which we will release the ASI webinar for viewing. We will keep you informed as information becomes available. 

The draft revision of AS 4100 Steel Structures contains extensive provisions for designing structures by advanced analysis in lieu of using the member and connection provisions of Sections 5-9 of the Standard. Using advanced analysis in designing steel structures can provide several benefits including more accurate structural behaviour prediction, improved stability analysis and optimisation of material usage.

The updates to AS 4100 including Section 4 and the comprehensive new provisions for designing by advanced analysis, represent significant advancements, allowing for improved structural efficiency, more uniform reliability and greater realism in steel design. 

Presented by Kim Rasmussen, Challis Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney this seminar will provide an in-depth explanation of the upcoming changes to AS 4100 as regards advanced analysis to provide engineers with the information needed to optimise steel designs to produce more economical and efficient structures.
