Composite Beam and Slab Software according to AS/NZS 2327:2017-Amd1:2020 – FREE webinar
October 13, 2021 @ 8:30 am - October 14, 2021 @ 5:00 pm
We’re excited to announce that HERA’s long-anticipated Composite Design Software is now available!
This updated design tool to design according to AS/NZS 2327:2017-Amd1: 2020. and we are presenting a free webinar that will highlight the new functionalities of the software covering fire design of composite beams and serviceability limit state checks including deflection and vibration, non-composite and composite design of floor beams using a combination of a hot-rolled or welded steel section along with a concrete flange, and beam design solutions include ultimate and serviceability limit state checks and the influence of partial shear connection on the beam capacity.
Developed on the fire limit state load combinations given in AS/NZS 1170.0:2002, the software will determine the limiting temperature of the steel beam flanges and web as well as the shear studs to ensure that the composite beam will have sufficient bending moment and shear capacity to meet the Fire Limit State demand.
- Engineers who need to know about the software available and its functionalities to check or design of composite flooring systems.
- Metal deck manufacturers and construction experts who need to know about the software available.
- Students who need to know about the composite beam and slab design tool and to upskill in the composite design area.
30 minute on-demand video available to view 13th & 14th October.
