Course Content

This course consists of on‐demand pre‐recorded presentations (video, audio and slides) will provide information to assist you to optimise the design of mobile equipment for handling of bulk materials including excavators, stackers, reclaimers, ship loaders, and ship unloaders. Guidelines will be provided on the most efficient use of AS 4324.1 to improve the robustness and reliability of the bulk handling equipment used in Australian ports and mines. This course is a must for engineers wanting to learn the latest information on AS 4324.1 from the chairman of the Standards Australia committee responsible for the standard.

Course Outline

HISTORY, BACKGROUND AND PROPOSED CHANGES TO AS 4324.1

  • Learnings from the use of AS 4324.1 over the last 20 years
  • Reasons for the change from the 1995 version of AS 4324.1
  • Details of the revision of the limit states requirements in AS 4324.1 to be compatible with the loading standard AS 1170.0
  • Further proposed revisions and improvements to AS 4324.1 2017 version

EFFECTIVE DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES TO AS 4324.1

  • Differences between AS 4324.1 and ISO 5049.1 – traps to avoid
  • Application of AS 4324.1 to excavators, stackers, reclaimers, ship loaders, and ship unloaders to improve the robustness and reliability of the equipment
  • Case studies highlighting areas of concern with initial design and fabrication leading to ongoing costly maintenance of equipment
  • Ensuring the compliance of the structural steelwork
