This online course will provide information to assist you to optimise the design and use of Structural Steel Hollow Sections (SSHS) to AS 4100 standards and to identify the risk factors which can lead to failure of the steel sections.
Becoming familiar with the specific supply, fabrication and design aspects of SSHS is more important than ever due to a greater awareness of the need to address non-compliant building products in Australian projects. With a mixture of Australian and overseas manufactured hollow sections being available in the local market – specifiers, engineers and builders need to be able to identify what complies and what does not in order to satisfy the requirements of the National Construction (NCC) and Australian Standards.
There are 3 Parts to this presentation which includes a Q&A session with the presenter.
