• Introduction

Paul Reynolds – BEng (Mechanical), Chair of Education Subcommittee for EA

• EA to be your link with the Engineering Profession / Industry• These forums provide important networking opportunities with other teaching

professionals• We want to assist in providing exciting ways of presenting concepts with real

world examples and application• We encourage a link of support with exam assessors• We would like to make clear the pathways to engineering that exist for the

student- Professional, Trades, VET

• WE AIM TO BE A FACILITATOR IN SUPPORTING YOU.

• Historical Developments of Civil Structures• Engineering Mechanics

– Trusses– Flexural members– Stresses


• Historical Developments

How do they stand up?• They are all Vertical Cantilevers

• Engineering Innovation in Civil Structures and their Effect on People’s Lives

• Large buildings have allowed for apartments and businesses to work in better environments.

• Bridges allow people to cross water ways easily and quickly.

• Impacts of bridges include: • More direct travel across waterways, gorges • Quicker travel times • Less fuel used in traveling, cheaper • Job opportunities in design and construction • Pylons may disturb waterways • Negative impact on boating


• Construction and Processing Materials used in Civil Structures Over Time• Timber • Stone – Strong in compression but heavy • Cast Iron • Steel – Corrodes, strong in tension and compression • Concrete – artificial rock – relatively strong in compression

• Environmental implications from the use of materials in civil structures• Timer – Deforestation • Stone – Needs to be quarried, cut, transported • Steel – Pollutants from smelting • Concrete


Trusses



• Truss Analysis – Pin jointed frames.• No transfer of bending at the joints. Axial forces only• (1) Method of joints• This involves working around the truss, solving one joint at a time to find the

axial forces in each of the members.• This method requires the understanding of the sum of vertical and horizontal

forces = zero. It usually requires the application of trigonometry and simultaneous equations. (The first two equations of equilibrium)

• The concept of axial forces in a member (No bending)


• (2) Method of sections• This involves cutting the truss at a discrete location in order to fint the forces in the

members at the particular cut. • This technique required the understanding of the theory of moments about a point =

zero. (The third equation of equilibrium)• The concept of axial forces in a member (No bending)


• Simple beam Analysis – Concepts of flexural (bending) actions.


• Shear force and bending moment diagrams• Here is a beam (top), with the corresponding shear force diagram (middle), and

bending moment diagram (bottom) subject to a point load


Shear force and bending moment for a beam subject to a uniformly distributed load.


• Concept of shear force and bending moment

• Sum of vertical forces = zero• Sum of moments = zero

• Satisfy equations of equilibrium


• Bending stress induced by point loads only


• Stress and StrainShear Stress• Shear stress occurs when you apply shear force. • Eg. If a bolt is supporting a load perpendicular to the bolt of 10kN, and it has a

diameter of 10mm, what is the shear stress?

• Shear stress = 127MPa


• Yield stress, Proof stress, Toughness, Young’s modulus, Hooke’s law, Engineering applications

• Yield stress occurs when there is an increase in strain without an increase in stress.

• Proof stress is the amount of stress necessary to bring a permanent strain in the material.

•• Toughness is a measure of the ability of a material to absorb energy.

• Hooke’s law is , it calculates Young’s modulus of elasticity.

• Factor of Safety• A factor of safety is how many times stronger the material or structure is than it

needs to be.



• The study of a Higher level of Mathematics is very important for carrying out engineering calculations.

• Civil (structural) engineering is about modelling the physical world to understand it’s behaviour by the use of applied mathematics.

• Calculus, for example, is just one key part of mathematics that is used for determining the bending moment and shear forces ( and therefore stresses) in structures.

• Their accurate calculation is very important in the analysis (understanding forces) and design (sizing elements to withstand the forces).

• Manual (hand) calculations is still very much used and taught in 3rd year engineering degrees. It allows simple checking of output of computer analysis for sensibility and errors.


For the simple beam with a distributed load (w) shown, the shear force at C is taken as:

Material Interactions-• Piles- Concrete / Soil• Steel reo / concrete• Acid-Sulphate Soils

Concrete Structural Properties•Compressive Strength at 28days•Cover to reinforcing steel- corrosion•Construction quality- variable?•Impossible to repair piles- cost $


Cast-insitu: Tremmie concrete(E.g. S40MPa/20mm max

agg/180slump concrete)– Place concrete onto concrete– Design life long but $ cost high– Construction quality &

workmanship critical- one chance only to get right !

Tremie pour

1 - 2m

How does Tremmie Concrete work?


Cast-insitu:– Tremmie concrete

• Cost of replacement/repair ?• Investigation / testing


Driven Piles:– Precast concrete (Steam

Cured)• Conventional steel reo.• Pre- tensioned reo

– Other – Timber, other– Better construction quality &

tolerances– Over driven piles = cracks etc.


Concrete Property:Plastic property• Slump / flow• Passing ability / cohesion

Hardened property• Compressive strength• Drying Shrinkage• Durability


History / Technological change:

Testing and understanding of stone property- Basic

Understand limits in tensile capacity of materials so design uses high comp. strength of mat.


Testing/understanding- conventional steel reinforcing only span so far. Pre-tensioning/Post-tensioning- can significantly increase spans

Pre-tensioned Concrete • Cables tensioned• Concrete cast onto cables and sticks. • At transfer cables cut and concrete placed in

compression


Post-tensioned Concrete• Cables in ducts not tensioned• Concrete cast onto ducts• Cables stressed and compression provided by barrel /wedge• Ducts grouted to protect cables long-term• Concrete placed in compression some time after casting.

• Communications

Michael Van KoeverdenDavid Sparkes


Communications • All communications must be: Clear, Factual & Concise• Verbal/oral – clear instructions (recorded somewhere)• Written – reports- do not embellish or make claims..• Implied- professional service – duty of care to public.• As professional you can be sued for any of above.• PI insurance premiums are based on above depending

on the insurers view of your perceived risk to others.


Communications • Expert Witness work- will be cross-examined in court

to explain your opinion expressed by you.• Need to confirm on what your opinion was based• Must act on most recent knowledge at time of your

report writing. • But still have a duty of care to public.

Communication in Design


• Exam Q and A


Post tensioned- cables not stressed and concrete already hardened.



• Absorb some impact energy• Stops penetration of objects• Improves air bag performance

by staying in surrounds• Can incorporate UV protection Silica

Answer = BMake the section deeper and move the extreme fibre away from the neutral axis.
