Slabs, footings and tiedowns for sheds

This seminar addresses the key components and checks required to ensure steel shed structures are supported by properly constructed reinforced concrete slabs and footings and have compliant tie-down. The non-compliance and failure of tiedowns and slabs & footings highlights the need to carefully consider critical factors including correct installation, design for specific applications, material quality, durability, construction practices, ductility requirements and adherence to relevant standards and industry guidelines.

By following the guidance from this seminar, the structural performance of chemical/mechanical anchors and reinforced concrete slabs & footings can be significantly improved, ensuring not only their longevity and safety, but also that of the steel structures that they support. 

The seminar is presented by subject matter experts Dr Jessey Lee from the Australian Engineered Fasteners and Anchors Council (AEFAC) and Swinburne University of Technology (SUT) together with Scott Munter and Eric Lume from the Steel Reinforcement Institute of Australia (SRIA) who share their knowledge and expertise to provide participants with a core understanding of current practice.
