    Calculating characteristic strengths based on test data

    The previous information may be of interest for concrete, though the following may be of general interest: AS 5104, and relatively specifically Annex E. Regards.

    Loads/Units shown on drawings

    The following may be of interest: Only one style of charter should be used generally throughout at drawing. ...Upper-case letters should be used. Lower-case letters shall be used for conventional signs and symbols normally requiring such characters, e.g. mm, kg, kPa. Ex: AS 1100.101 Cl 4.1.5.

    Heavy Door Opener Lever

    The following may be options, despite that are apparently unlikely to be acceptable: 1. Balance duct in door - apparent unlikely to be fire resistant, 2. Sliding door - unlikely to good seal, or 3. Airlock by: new door, and "awning" etc.

    Plate washers for oversize/slotted holes

    AS 4100 Supp1 states that AS 4100 is according to the following paper: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267382537_BEHAvIOR_OF_BOLTED_JOINTS_WITH_OVERSIZE_OR_SLOTTED_HOLES I evaluate the following as generally useful fastener reference, that is "a bit easier" to read compared to Kulak...

    Plate washers for oversize/slotted holes

    In principle that is my interpretation - I check the fastener anywhere in the slot, and I specify special plate washers, despite that others generally do not. I did not check your dimensions, though are apparently relatively correct. I have historically convinced myself to use "oval" special...

    AS4041 Piping Design

    The following that apparently confirms you observation may be of interest, though I am not a subject matter expert: 1. Problem with AS4041 formula compared to ASME B31.3 formula. The intrados should get thicker and the extrados thinner. 2. KASA Redberq Opinion: The output from the equation...

    Power Station Cooling Capacity More in United Kingdom, than Australia, Despite Apparent Weather Advantage, Justification Request

    Thank you for the response. My guess was that GBR would have more power/cooling tower due to WBT etc, however the "justification" concludes that GBR has less i.e. GBR/AUS = 350/700 MW/tower.

    Power Station Cooling Capacity More in United Kingdom, than Australia, Despite Apparent Weather Advantage, Justification Request

    Thank you for the response, though I concluded are similar according to the following buried in the original post: The cooling towers are apparently dimensionally similar with a base diameter of ~ 100 metres according to my measurements using Google maps.

    Power Station Cooling Capacity More in United Kingdom, than Australia, Despite Apparent Weather Advantage, Justification Request

    Can you please advise why power stations in United Kingdom - GBR apparently historically had more cooling capacity, natural draft cooling towers, than Australia – AUS? A summary of the justification for evaluating the cooling capacity of GBR as more than AUS follows: Benchmarking: I interpret...

    Bolt capacity in hand-tightened condition

    The following may be of interest: 1. Fastener/pin ply capacity in bearing regarding ...sufficient confinement of the surrounding steel to increase the capacity..., refer attached, and 2. Fastener capacity with "loose fillers" as analogy regarding fastener capacity if not snug tensioned, refer...

    Bolt capacity in hand-tightened condition

    I am unaware of the jurisdiction, though I propose that loose is unlikely to be according to the specifications I am familiar with - AS 4100. 1. The AS 4100 specifications, that I understand is to control nominal actions according to the standard’s assumptions, are attached, and 2. If providing...
