CISC What's New: Handbook and CSA S16-14

Webinar Description

*The CISC Handbook of Steel Construction – 11th edition publication referenced in this webinar can be purchased at the following: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/0888112076

This 4-hour webinar (9 modules) covers the changes in CSA S16-14 and the design of steel members and elements using the new 11th Edition of the Handbook of Steel Construction.

Part 1 - Covers the first 3 modules providing an overview of the 11th Edition of the Handbook and the major changes and new provisions introduced in CSA Standard S16-14, “Design of Steel Structures” and the CISC Commentary on CSA S16. Changes in Clause 27 Seismic design are included in this session.

Eligible: 0.1 CEU/1 PDH certificate

The intent of the remaining 2 modules is to provide understanding on the background and use of design aids contained in the new Handbook while drawing the participants’ attention to changes, new additions and hidden gems. However, overall building behaviour and seismic design are outside the scope of the Handbook of Steel Construction and this portion of the course.

Modules 4 through 7 present 22 design examples to illustrate design aids for bolts, welds, simple beam connections (single angle, double angle, end plate, seated and shear tab), tension members, compression members and flexural members (composite and non-composite).

The Handbook of Steel Construction contains detailed information on the design and detailing of structural steel in metric units. The new 11th Edition is intended to be used together with the National Building Code of Canada 2015. Member design tables are based on steel grades ASTM A992, A572 Grade 50, A913 Grade 65, A500 Grade C and CSA G40.21-350W.

Updates in the 11th Edition include:

• CSA Standard S16-14 “Design of Steel Structures”.
  
• Updated design data for common connections.
  
• Updated design data for twist-off bolt assemblies and direct tension indicators.
  
• New design table for all-bolted single-angle beam connections.
  
• Readily available wide-flange sizes are highlighted in yellow color throughout the book.
  
• New tables for columns produced to ASTM A913 Grade 65 steel and for single-angle struts.
  
• Design and detailing data for anchor rods and accessories.
  
• Member design tables for angles and channels increased from 300 to 350 MPa yield stress.
  
• Structural section data for hot-rolled sections has been completely updated.
  
• Updated range of HSS sizes reflecting availability and including large (Jumbo) sections.
  
• CISC Code of Standard Practice, 8th Edition, with updated provisions on erection stability and Building Information Modelling (BIM).
  
• Enhanced color scheme for easier navigation.

Who should benefit?

Engineers, technologists and technicians who have a background in the design of structures
civil engineering professors and instructors who use the Handbook as a teaching aid

Eligible: 0.4 CEU / 4 PDH certificate upon completion of all the sessions.
