Event Summary
Advancements in Reinforcement Detailing.
The basic requirements of good reinforced concrete detailing are clarity and conciseness. Unfortunately, there has been a steady deterioration in the quality and quantity of drawings supplied for reinforced concrete over a number of years. The net result of poor quality drawings is increased costs in the material supply and construction sectors and unacceptable levels of dispute. Detailing of reinforcement is the interface between the actual design of the concrete structure and what is to be constructed. There is no point in having the most sophisticated analysis and design if it cannot be constructed in the field. Designers must be aware of practical limitations of construction. Detailing is also important for durability, as poor placement of reinforcement leads to insufficient cover and long term problems. Detailing of reinforcement is not taught to designers and yet it is fundamental to the proper design of reinforced concrete. This webinar will focus on the advances made in steel reinforcement detailing in recent years, and updates in accordance with the concrete standards, AS3600 - 2018 and AS5100.5 - 2024, as well as AS4671 – 2019. An overview of the newly revised CIA Recommended Practice, Z6 Steel Reinforcement Detailing Handbook, will also be provided. This document is now in its 50th year of publication and has been part of the engineers’ tool box for reinforcement design for many years.
PRESENTERS:
Eric Lume, Arslan Awan and Anthony Ng.
PRESENTATION DETAILS:
The webinar will contain three sections:
Steel Reinforcement Detailing Handbook – A Resource for Engineers. Eric Lume.
This presentation will review the recently released CIA publication “Z6 Steel Reinforcement Detailing Handbook”. It will review its history and evolution, the importance of accurate detailing in both design and construction, materials and properties, details for beams columns and slabs and interpretations of Standards.
Reinforcement Detailing for Proprietary Products. Arslan Awan.
This presentation will review Precast Wall to Suspended Slab Connections, Coupler Detailing, Supplementary Reinforcement Detailing, and the related requirements in AS 3600 and AS 5216.
Sense 600 – 600 MPa Reinforcing Steels. Anthony Ng.
Anthony will analyse 600 MPa Reinforcing steels and their position in relation to Sustainability, the size, range and Design Properties, Code Mark, Longitudinal Column Bars, Development Lengths, Pin Diameters and requirements in relation to the National Construction Code, AS 3600 and AS/NZS 4671.
The webinar will run from 2.00pm to approximately 4.00pm (AEDT). It is conducted online on the Zoom platform and delegates will be emailed login details and a password for this webinar prior to the event.

Presenters
Eric Lume is the National Engineer for the Steel Reinforcement Institute of Australia. Eric is a Civil and Structural Engineer with a wealth of industry experience. Prior to the last 10 years with the SRIA, Eric’s background includes working with a Consulting Engineering firm in Christchurch, NZ assisting with the rebuild of earthquake damaged structures and a 5 year position as Senior Lecturer at the University of Wollongong developing and teaching Civil Engineering course materials for the design of reinforced concrete masonry structures and concrete technology. Prior to this Eric was employed by Cement Concrete and Aggregates Australia for 15 years delivering technical support and development of the Associations publications. Eric’s Engineering career also includes 14 years in the Consulting Engineering Profession and involvement with numerous Australian Standards Committees.
Arslan Awan is the Engineering Team Leader Construction for Leviat. He is a chartered structural engineer with 12 years of experience in civil and structural engineering space. In the past, he has been involved in the design of concrete bridges and the construction of water regulatory structures like barrage and weir. More recently, he has been actively involved with the design of post installed and cast in fasteners along with specialized construction products like reinforcement couplers, shear load connectors, anchor channels, tension systems and punching shear reinforcement. He is a part of review committee for CIA publication Z06 Reinforcement Detailing Handbook and is also a part of Standard Australia’s committee ME-029-00-03 AS 5216:2021.
Anthony Ng is the Engineering Solutions Manager for Infrabuild. He studied at the University of Sydney where he graduated with degrees in Science and Civil Engineering, returning later to complete a Masters degree in Engineering Science. He also has an MBA from the University of New South Wales. He practiced structural engineering for 12 years after graduation with various consulting engineers in Sydney before he joined InfraBuild (then BHP Steel) in 1998. Anthony primary role for InfraBuild is to develop engineered solutions and innovative products for the construction industry. SENSE 600®, a 600 MPa reinforcing steel is one of those innovative products he has been working on.
