Australian Steel Standard 1

[Veer007]

Hey Guys,

Do anyone know what's the standard material for Steel Shapes(I section, HSS section, Plates Channels Angles Anchor rods) as per Australian code. Also high strength bolt grade? I'm familiar with AISC, but don't know much about Australian code. If I got equivalent material for comparison it would be better.

Thanks in advance!!

I did work on projects located at several countries. Engineering knowledge is universal, but the codes and standards varies. Some country won't accept our work if we don't have local presence, and a lead engineer registered in that country.

Please ignore my clarifications if it bothers you... I just asked the info that I could not find anywhere or its difficult for myself.. I really don't want to waste anyone's time for my unwanted questions..

Thanks in advance!!

It doesn't really bother me, and as you have probably seen I've been willing to help. But if you gave more information about where YOU are located and where the items are being fabricated it would help. (I presume the structures are being erected in Australia.)

None of this is new to me. I live in Australia. We get stuff fabricated in Australia, in China, in Europe. Design is done by us in Australia, others in China, or some staff in the Philippines.

Ideally, you should try to obtain a copy of AS4100 and the ASI connection design guides.

I just agreed to work for them, I believed that the engineering concept is the same all over the world So that I can do some work if we know some basics, Isn't fine?

Generally fine if you aren't taking any responsibility. You'd need somebody local to be signing off on designs etc. But I presume you have that.

Good on you if you are managing to pick up and produce good quality work for fabrications destined for Australia. But again more context would help in answering questions.

250 grade for plates, 300 grade for hot-rolled sections, and 350 grade for hollow sections per AS/NZS standards

Yes, mostly right. Is this being fabricated in Australia?

Bolts and threaded rod are specified by grade in Australia.

Hi human909, I just detail the steel buildings and connection, so the non given information to be given by me.. That's why asked the clarifications like this as this my first job for them, I'm not aware of their general steel standtards, if I know that I could verify those with EOR when sending for approval, he is the one who signed and sealed the contract drawings...

M24 rod in US we follow actual diameter as 25.4mm , I don't know in Australia, seems they are following 24mm dia. Isn't right?

Thanks in advance!!

In an effort to teach you to fish, I suggest you use google with the addition of the term " site:.au " This will lead to google restricting you to Australian resources.

24mm round bar (rod) is available:

M24 NOT a round bar size. It is a bolt/threaded rod size.

How can you possibly detail steel buildings and connections for buildings in a country when you have no idea of the construction methods, materials and methods in that country?

You should not be relying on engineers on this site providing this information.

The people you are working for should be supplying the information you need.

 

[Veer007]

yes, it's to be fabricated in australia

I just detail the given connections, I'm learning their construction methods, But here I asked the engineering clarifications, the given info. are helpful to me much, thanks

Thanks in advance!!

A fair bit of this might be steel detailing rather than engineering. The work of steel detail has been being outsourced to overseas workers of varying quality for at least a decade. Out sourcing of engineering however would be a interesting scenario.

My company had Pilipino contractor do some drafting work for us. He good enough that he is now salaried. He's actually a better engineer than 90% of my office. Much of my office is full of project managers of varying levels of skills but of minimal real engineer knowledge.

Exactly human909, having so many degrees never make an engineer, but knowledge can do. and Yeah I'm detailing the steel for them.

Thanks in advance!!
