DESIGN EXAMPLES
The following five structural design examples demonstrate the significant savings which can
be achieved in the areas of weight and cost by using Grade 690 MPa Bisplate 80 steel
instead of the more commonly used lower grade structural steels. These examples primarily
compare Bisplate 80 to Grade 300 Plus Steel which is currently the most commonly usedstructural steel in Australia. Comparison with other steels are noted where appropriate.
The design examples are as follows:
Heavily Loaded Column
Heavily Loaded Beam - I section
Heavily Loaded Beam - Box section
Heavily Loaded Truss
70 MI Water tank
Where appropriate, these examples have been simplified as much as possible in order tofacilitate ease of comparison between the different steels. Each example contains a brief
explanation of the structural element and the loading applied. Also provided are some typical
examples of applications in which the structural element may be utilised.
DESIGN CODES RELATING TO THE USE OF HIGH STRENGTH QUENCHED AND TEMPERED PLATE
MEMBERS IN STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS.
There is currently no Australian Standard covering the design of structural elements utilising
high strength quenched and tempered steels. The SAA Steel Structures Code, AS 4100-1990,
may be used for the design of structures in steel grades up to 450 MPa, beyond which the
general provisions of the code are not applicable.
AS4100 does not exclude the use of structural steels in excess of 450 MPa yield stress.
However, in order to adequately design and demonstrate the validity of a design in such
steels, it is necessary to engage an appropriate international standard which has been
specifically developed to cater for the use of high strength steels.
One such code, and the most commonly used in Australia for design in high strength steels is
the American Institute of Steel Constructions (AISC) Specification For Structural Steel
Buildings - Allowable Stress Design and Plastic Design, June 1, 1989. This code has been
proven to provide relatively simple and efficient methods of structural design for all types ofstructural elements, and has been used in the development of each of the design examples
contained within this publication.
A limit state version of the AISC specification is also available, and should be equally
effective in the design of High Strength Steel structures. It should also be noted that Bisplate
80 steel, at 690 MPa yield stress, is right on the upper limit of 100 ksi yield stress steel
covered by the AISC specification. Above this yield stress the AISC specification is not
applicable.

EXAMPLE 2
HEAVILY LOADED BEAM (ISECTION)
Consider a beam with full lateral restraint spanning 10m, loaded continuously with a live load of 470
KN/m (factored) as shown in Fig.5.
Practical applications where such a beam ma
required are:
In multi-storey construction
Heavy industrial structures
Roof support in underground mining
Structural beam design was carried out for Grade 300 MPa steel using AS4100-1990. Corresponding
design was carried out for Grade 690 MPa Bisplate 80 steel using the AISC specification.
The results of each design are summarised in Table 2. Representative calculations are provided on the
following pages.

Note that a significant reduction in the depth of the beam was achieved through the use of Bisplate 80, in addition to the
weight waving, while still satisfying the permissible deflection requirements. This is of great importance in underground
mining and multi-storey construction applications, where head room is at a premium.

HEAVILY LOADED BEAM (BOX SECTION)
Consider a beam with full lateral restraint spanning 10m, loaded continuously with a live load of 470
KN/m (factored) as shown in Fig 9.
Practical applications are :
Heavy industrial structures
Roof support in mining
A box section is effective in long spans where additional lateral restraint is required within the
beam section to compensate for a lack of external restraints.
A common application ofabox section fabricated from high strength Q & T steel in
which the load configuration varies significantly from that described above, is in the
lifting booms ofmobile cranes.
Structural beam design was carried out for both Grade 250 MPa steel and Grade 690 MPa
Bisplate 80 steel using the AISC specification.
The results of each design are summarised in Table 3. Representative calculations are
provided on the following pages.
