President’s Message
Dear fellow members,
I would like to highlight some of the
notable achievements of the Singapore
Structural Steel Society (SSSS) over the past
few years.
First, I am pleased to report that the SSSS
has grown in membership. Our individual
membership grew from just 245 in 2000
to 550 this year. During the same period,
corporate membership also increased from
13 to 136. Of course, size alone is not a sign
of greatness. It is what we do together and
the results that is important. And in that
respect, I can point out quite a few successes
of the SSSS.
At the top of this list is the SSSS Steel
Fabricators Accreditation Scheme.
Launched in November 2002, this scheme
has helped to raise the standards of steel
fabrication and erection in the construction
industry in Singapore. To be accredited,
applicant firms must meet requirements of
the category they are applying for. The firm
will be audited and inspected to verify their
qualifications. This scheme has the strong
support of the BCA. They have sent out an
advisory note to encourage QPs to specify,
as part of their contract specifications, that
the steel fabricator employed should be
accredited under the SSSS Steel Fabricators
Accreditation Scheme. Today, the scheme
has accredited just over 100 structural steel
fabricators.
4 Steel News & Notes June 2010 – September 2010
Ssss: Growing From
Strength To Strength
The training of Certified Structural Steel
Engineers and Supervisors is another
worthy SSSS contribution to the industry. In
response to the acute shortage of engineers
and technical personnel who were trained
to supervise structural steelwork, the
SSSS launched the Certification Course
for Structural Steel Engineers and Steel
Supervisors a few years ago. They are
specially tailored for engineers and technical
personnel working in the steel fabrication
yards and on construction sites. The courses
emphasise the practical and safety aspects
of structural steel construction and have
been very well attended. To-date, we have
trained over 700 qualified steel supervisors
and about 300 engineers.
The third project I want to mention is
our SSSS-BCA scholarship. This is our
society’s contribution to the efforts to attract
more talents to the construction sector.
The scholarship fund is to assist deserving
undergraduates pursuing Civil and
Structural Engineering course at NUS or
NTU and diplomas at Singapore Polytechnic.
Started during our 20th anniversary
celebration, we have since raised over
S$418,000. To-date we have given out six
scholarships to university undergraduates
and eight to diploma students.
The fourth area of contribution is in helping
the industry to switch to the Structural Euro-
Codes 3 and 4. Over the past three years,
our society has assisted BCA and SPRING
Singapore to play a leading role to help the
industry prepare for the implementation of
the structural Euro-Codes 3 and 4. These
are the European Standards for the design
of steel structures and composite steel and
concrete structures respectively.
Our society took the lead in preparing
the National Annexes customised for
Singapore usage. The National Annexes are
an essential part of the Euro-Codes. This is
a great honour for our society and reflects
the growing recognition of the SSSS as a
respected and value-adding organisation in
the construction sector. Going forward, we
are preparing training programmes to gear
up our steel engineers for the switch. They
should be ready next year.
I would like to conclude by thanking my
fellow council members who have worked
tirelessly to contribute to these achievements.
Apart from the projects which I just
mentioned, they are the reasons why the
SSSS is so active. Every month, we have at
least one, sometimes two or three activities
such as site visits, evening talks, seminars
or corporate members’ nights. But most
of all, we thank all our members, whether
individual or corporate, whose participation
and strong and constant support have made
all these achievements possible.
We look forward to your continuing
support in the years ahead.
Warmest Regards,
Tan Tian Chong

STEEL DESIGN AWARDS 2010:
Promoting the Use of
Steel in Construction
S
ince 2002, the Steel Design Awards
have recognisd steel structural engi-
neering excellence, and rewarded the
work of the most talented structural design-
ers/architects and steel fabricators for their
indispensable contribution to the built envi-
ronment. This event was previously held in
2002, 2004, 2007 and 2009.
The greatest challenge in the coming
years for the construction industry is to
remain profitable and competitive. For the
steel sector, this is the golden opportunity to
demonstrate the advantages of steel design
and construction. Many developments are
hard pressed for materials, time and workers.
Steel designers and related practitioners who
come out with innovative designs on cutting
edge steel building technology to fast-track
construction and at the same time to reduce
the number of construction workers required
will be the most sought after.

The Helix
T
he architectural and engineering
marvels behind The Helix provide
nothing short of a magical and
intriguing experience for bridge users. As
the bridge is designed to curve to connect
seamlessly with the pedestrian promenade
at the Bayfront and Marina Promenade,
bridge users can see the entire structure of
the bridge while crossing it. The 280m bridge,
comprising five spans (three internal spans,
each 65m and two approach spans, each 43m),
forms part of a 3.5km waterfront promenade
that loops around the Marina Bay.

12 Steel News & Notes June 2010 – September 2010

 Steel Design Awards 2010

Crossing the 6m-wide bridge is a unique

experience as fitted glass and steel mesh
canopies dotted along the inner spirals,
providing shade from Singapore’s tropical
climate. Four viewing pods extend out
over the water. Positioned in strategic
locations, these platforms let visitors enjoy
the expansive skyline vista while watching
events by the water and shoreline. Glass
panels on the floor also provide a visual
connection to the water below.
The design inspiration behind The Helix is
entirely forward-looking: its resemblance to
DNA as a symbol of continuity, renewal, and
everlasting abundance, reflects Singapore’s
aspirations for Marina Bay.

S
ands® SkyPark® is one of the iconic
features of the Marina Bay Sands®
Integrated Resort (MBSIR) located
in the Marina Bay area. The 1ha SkyPark®
sits atop three 55-storey hotel towers and
includes facilities such as landscaped gar-
dens, signature restaurants, infinity pools
and a 65m cantilevered viewing platform
which offers visitors a 360° view of the
city. The SkyPark® is the world’s largest
cantilevered public observation deck – it
measures 38m wide, 340m long and used
over 7,000 tonnes of steel in its construc-
tion. The extraordinary SkyPark® is now
a landmark, and a symbolic icon for Sin-
gapore, similar to what the Sydney Opera
House is to Sydney.
The superstructure is likened to a bridge
that sits atop three 55-storey hotel towers.
Notably, the most challenging aspect
of is the 66.5m long SkyPark® cantilever
that overhangs from hotel tower 3. As the
experts behind the engineering works of
Sands SkyPark, Arup spent considerable
time to conduct various stress tests. Much
time and analytical effort was spent by
Arup’s bridge and dynamics specialists
to ensure we understood the complex
behaviour under wind and human
excitation (dancing etc).

Arup had to overcome a number of
structural challenges, the first of which
was to formulate a design that allowed
for safe and easy erection so far above
the ground. This was achieved through
a combination of bridge and building
technology. The second was to cater for
the natural movements of the towers upon
which the SkyPark® was to be supported,
through the composition of five distinct
joined plates. The third challenge was
the dynamics of the SkyPark® in response
to strong winds and vibration caused

by people movement. The dynamic
properties of a structure are particularly
hard to predict as there are many elements
of the structure and architectural finishes
that contribute to this. Arup thus designed
large tuned mass dampers that act in a
similar manner to shock absorbers within
the SkyPark®’s belly and carried out large
scale vibration tests to verify the design.

COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION
FOR SUSTAINABILITY
A
t the Tall Buildings Asia confer-
ence held 30-31 August 2010 at M
Hotel Singapore, Professor JY Richard
Liew’s presentation concerned how building
materials such as concrete and steel can be
used in conjunction via ‘composite construc-
tion’ technology and application.
He began his talk saying that we spend
90% of our lives in buildings - work, leisure
and home. Hence, it is easy to see that
productivity, well-being etc., is linked to the
built environment which surrounds us every
day. The idea of ‘composite construction’
involves steel and concrete as these two
materials complete one another. Namely,
concrete is efficient in compression and steel
in tension. Concrete encasement restrains
steel against buckling, and protects against
corrosion and fire damage. Steel brings
ductility into the structure.

tion is achieved via exploitation

Professor Liew pointed out
that today’s newer high perfor-

Steel Bridge Construction:
A Few Myths
&
Realities
T
his article wishes to dispel some of the
“myths” or misconceptions surround-
ing the use of steel in bridge construc-
tion. These myths often arise out of past expe-
rience and don’t take into account changes in
technology, improvements in materials and
products or updated design and construction
practices.
Adhering to these myths can limit the
competitiveness of steel solutions, lead
to misuse of steel products or prevents
designers and owners from taking advantage
of viable options when it comes to providing
crossings. The original document focused
primarily on signature bridges of steel plate
girder construction. The newer document has
been expanded to include prefabricated/
modular steel bridges using steel rolled
beams and hollow structural sections and
also corrugated steel pipe and corrugated
steel plate as viable materials for bridge
construction.
What follows is not intended to be
an exhaustive treatise on the technical
aspects of steel bridge design but rather
to help designers and owners take full
advantage of steel in their search for
viable solutions. To the extent possible we
have provided references as back up and
as sources for additional information.
MYTH: Concrete lasts forever without
maintenance.
REALITY: Concrete is affected by the
same environmental deterioration factors
as steel. Its performance is also affected by
quality of materials and design.
28 Steel News & Notes June 2010 – September 2010
Some people feel that once in place,
concrete bridges (reinforced and pre-stressed)
last forever and that steel bridges are slowly
corroding away. Indeed the perception is
that concrete is an inert material which is less
vulnerable to the environment than structural
steel.
First, virtually all steel bridges include
concrete components such as deck and/
or substructure. In many cases what is
labeled deterioration of a steel bridge in fact,
involves the concrete components. Concrete
deterioration is a subject that has been widely
researched but not so widely discussed.
According to the Organization for Economic
Co-Operation and Development (OECD)
some of the important causes of deterioration
of concrete in bridges are:
• Chloride contamination by de-icing
salts, saline air and seawater;
• Sulphate attack;
• Thermal effects (freeze/thaw action);
• Poor quality concrete;
• Insufficient concrete cover;
• Lack of maintenance;
• Alkali-silica reactions;
• Ineffective drainage;
Any combination of these factors, such as the
use of de-icing salts in a freeze/thaw climate
with ineffective bridge drainage can greatly
accelerate the deterioration of the bridge, be it
concrete or steel. One item mentioned above,
alkali-silica reaction
ASR, has been cited by the Strategic
Highway Research Program, as a major cause
of cracking and deterioration in concrete
structures in the United States.
ASR is a reaction inherent in concrete that
causes it to expand and crack based on three
elements in the concrete: 1) reactive forms of
silica or silicate in the aggregate, 2) sufficient
alkali (sodium and potassium), primarily
from the cement and 3) sufficient moisture
in the concrete. The combination of the silica
and alkali produce a gel reaction product.
When this gel reaction product encounters
moisture it expands resulting in cracking of
the concrete.
In arid desert-like regions lack of moisture
causes the ASR gel reaction product to
shrink, which also produces cracks in
the concrete. Although the symptoms
of cracking and distress may be caused
by external factors such as freezing and
thawing, corrosion of reinforcing steel or
plastic shrinkage, ASR is a process that
occurs within the concrete itself.
Stein Rostam in “Concrete
International” made another in-depth
presentation of concrete deterioration. In
his article Rostam describes carbonation,
the process by which CO2 is absorbed
by concrete gradually reducing the
alkalinity to a point where reinforcing
steel loses the corrosion protection
afforded by an alkaline concrete. Rostam
also described chloride intrusion that
attacks concrete in marine environments
and whenever salt is used as a de-icing agent.
In the latter case the concrete is also subjected
to freeze shock causing small cracks that
gradually allow chloride laden moisture to
penetrate the body of concrete and attack the
reinforcing steel.
The result—spalling and loss of reinforcing
itself—may not be evident initially.
An article in the April 2007 issue of the
Journal of Protective Linings and Coatings
titled “Concrete Bridges: Heading Off the
Impending Durability Burden,” Bob Kogler
of Rampart, LLC makes the following points:
*The demands of increasing age, traffic
loading and the increased use of road salts
has made the durability of bridge structures
of all types more difficult.
*The increase in the number of bridges using
pre-stressed concrete structural elements has
led to a large number of bridges where the
high-strength steel pre-stressing strands are

protected from the environment and corrosion
by only an inch or two of concrete cover.
*Corrosion of steel strands is a major factor
in a significant number of bridges in the FHWA
Bridge Management Information System
inventory being classified as structurally
deficient.
*There is a long-overdue need to consider
protective coatings for concrete structures
as well as targeted corrosion prevention
solutions for new and existing structures.
The American Concrete Institute also
recognizes that concrete structures are subject
to deterioration. It recommends sealing of
concrete surface to reduce permeability,
considered to be the single most important
factor affecting the rates of deterioration
from reinforcing bar corrosion, carbonation,
alkalisilica reaction or freeze-thaw cycle, all
of which may be occurring simultaneously.
When this type of internal deterioration
occurs it is very serious; the solution is
expensive repair or bridge replacement. Such
hidden defects in a concrete bridge are often
extraordinarily difficult to detect and can lead
to catastrophic collapse such as happened in
2006 to a bridge in Quebec, Canada. Built in
1970 the collapse was blamed on misplaced or
missing or short rebars; probably at the girder
dapped ends, something virtually impossible
to detect once the bridge was completed.
Structural steel deterioration on the other
hand is visible and any signs of corrosion
are clearly apparent which creates the
impression that steel is maintenance prone.
However, steel is easily repairable at almost
June 2010 – September 2010 Steel News & Notes
any stage of corrosion and
over the years has shown
a remarkable tolerance to
lack of maintenance.
MYTH: Concrete bridges
outlast steel bridges.
REALITY: There is no
credible statistical evidence
to support the notion that
concrete bridges outlast
steel bridges.
In comparing the relative
durability and service life
of concrete vs. steel bridges,
attempts have been made to
show that concrete outlasts
steel when in fact the first
major pre-stressed concrete highway bridge
(the Walnut Lane Bridge in Philadelphia) was
replaced after a service life of approximately
forty years. Of course, there are examples of
ill maintained and badly deteriorated steel
bridges that have also been replaced. There
are also many steel bridges with over 100
years of service life that are still performing
adequately.
Perhaps the truest picture is presented in
an exhaustive study conducted at Lehigh
University in 1992 by Professors David
Veshofsky and Carl Beidleman. They
analyzed deterioration rates for, at the time,
the approximately 577,000 bridges listed in
the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
National Bridge Inventory. Their conclusions
were 1) that superstructure material type was
not an indicator of the life expectancy of a
bridge, 2) age is the primary determinant of
deterioration and 3) average daily traffic is
the second most important determinant of
deterioration.
More recently in an article titled “Enduring
Strength” published in the September 2003
issue of Civil Engineering the authors point
out existing and potential problems with post-
tensioned concrete bridges. Corrosion of post-
tensioning tendons was found in a significant
number of recently constructed bridges in
Florida and other US states. Extensive non-
destructive testing and inspection by use
of a fiberscope, performed at considerable
expense, revealed corrosion of strands
because of improper grouting procedures
and exposure of strands at bridge
joints to saline atmosphere or de-
icing chemicals.
It seems that bonded pre-
stressing tendons are susceptible
to errors that are difficult to
detect and that can lead to serious
structural problems. Once again,
problems with steel bridges are
usually ones of details such as
joints and bearings.
MYTH: Weathering steel
performs only under ideal
climatic conditions
REALITY: Weathering steel
performs successfully when
Feature Article
designed and detailed according to the
published FHWA and Industry guidelines for
its use. There are many cases of weathering
steel bridges not conforming to the guidelines
that are also performing well.
When used properly, uncoated weathering
steel is by far the most cost-effective material
for bridges when considering either first
or long-term costs. Over the years there
have been some isolated problems due to
a lack of understanding of the material and
its subsequent misuse. The fact remains
that weathering steel is acceptable in most
locations. Because of isolated problems,
however, it became clear that guidelines on
the use of weathering steel were needed so
that owners could enjoy its economic benefits
with confidence.
FHWA GUIDELINES
In 1988, the FHWA conducted a
“Weathering Steel Forum” to establish these
guidelines. This forum brought together state
departments of transportation to discussed
their positive and negative experiences with
weathering steel bridges.
The outcome of this forum was the FHWA
“Technical Advisory—Uncoated Weathering
Steel in Structures” in 1989. (These guidelines,
although still valid, are currently being
reviewed by FHWA and supplemented with
more data.) In accordance with these FHWA
guidelines, there are four considerations that
must be taken into account when considering
the use of weathering steel:
• Environmental and Site Conditions
• Location
• Design Details for Proper Drainage
• Maintenance
An evaluation of atmospheric and site
conditions at a particular site should be
made before uncoated weathering steel is
considered. The steel industry offers services
to help owners evaluate such factors as marine
atmosphere, annual rainfall, prevalence
of fog, and atmospheric and industrial
pollutants in order to determine whether site
conditions are suitable for the use of uncoated
weathering steel. Some of these factors such
as saline atmosphere can adversely affect the
performance of any bridge material.

Prevention of Corrosion on
Structural Steelwork
T
he cost-effective corrosion protection
of structural steelwork should present
little difficulty for common applications
and environments if the factors that affect
durability are recognised at the outset. This
article aims to give specifiers an insight into
the factors involved. In dry heated interiors,
no special precautions are necessary. Where
precautions are required modern durable
protective coatings are available which,
when used appropriately, provide extended
maintenance intervals and improved
performance.

The Corrosion Process

Most corrosion of steel can be considered
as an electro-chemical process that occurs in a
series of consecutive stages. The details of this
process can be summarised by the following
equation: 4Fe + 3O2 + 2H2O = 2Fe2O3.H2O
(Iron/Steel) + (Oxygen) + (Water) = Rust
From this it can be seen that for iron and
steel to corrode it is necessary to have the
simultaneous presence of water and oxygen.
In the absence of either, corrosion does not
occur.

What Affects the Rate of Corrosion?

The principle factors that determine the
rate of corrosion of steel in air are the time
of wetness and the presence of atmospheric
pollution typically present as suplhates and
chlorides.
• Time of Wetness refers to the proportion
of total time during which the surface
is wet, due to rainfall, condensation,
etc.
• Sulphates originate from sulphur
dioxide gas that is produced during
the combustion of fossil fuels
• Chlorides are mainly present in
marine environments. The highest
concentrations of chlorides are to be
found in coastal regions, and there is a
rapid reduction when moving inland.
Both sulphates and chlorides increase
corrosion rates as they react with the
surface of the steel to produce soluble
salts of iron that can concentrate in pits
and are themselves corrosive.
Because of variations in atmospheric
environments, corrosion rate data cannot
be generalized; however, environments and
corresponding corrosion rates are broadly
classified in BS EN ISO 12944 Part 2 and ISO
9223

The Effect of Design on Corrosion
Prevention
In external or wet environments, design can
have an important bearing on the corrosion
of steel structures. In dry-heated interiors,
no special precautions are necessary. The
prevention of corrosion should, therefore, be
taken into account during the design stage of
a project. The main points to be considered
are (1) To avoid the entrapment of moisture
and dirt. The key here is to avoid the creation
of cavities and crevices so that welded joints
are preferable to bolted joints. Lap joints
should be avoided or sealed where possible.
Additionally drainage holes to prevent
standing water may have to be incorporated.
And (2) Coating application--The design
should ensure that the selected protective
coatings can be applied efficiently. Typically,
this might involve ensuring adequate access
for painting or adding drain/vent holes to
sealed components, which will be subject to
hot dip galvanizing.
The Application of Protective Coatings
Surface Preparation The surface preparation
of steel is concerned with the removal of mill-
scale, rust and other contaminants to provide
a satisfactory substrate for coating and is
generally considered to be a two stage process.
The first stage of any surface preparation is
to remove residues of grease, oil or marking
inks. The second stage is to remove any mill
scale and rust and is generally done by either
hand and power tool cleaning or abrasive
blast cleaning.
Painting
Painting is the principle method of protecting
structural steelwork from corrosion.
Paints are made by mixing, pigments (the
coloured part), binders (the film forming
component) and the solvent (which dissolves
the binder). Paints are usually applied one
coat on top of another and each coat has a
June 2010 – September 2010 Steel News & Notes
specific function or purpose.
The primer is applied directly onto the
cleaned steel surface. Its purpose is to wet
the surface and to provide good adhesion
for subsequently applied coats. In the case of
primers for steel surfaces, these are also usually
required to provide corrosion inhibition.
The intermediate coats (or undercoats) are
applied to ‘build’ the total film thickness of
the system. Generally, the thicker the coating
the longer the life and this may involve the
application of several coats.
The finishing coats provide the first line
of defence against the environment and also
determine the final appearance in terms of
gloss, colour, etc.
Hot Dip Galvanizing
The most common method of applying a
metal coating to structural steel is by hot-dip
galvanizing. Following surface preparation
as described earlier the galvanizing process
involves the following stages:
I. The cleaned steel is immersed in a fluxing
agent to ensure good contact between the steel
and zinc during the galvanizing process.
II. The cleaned and fluxed steel is dipped
into a bath of molten zinc at a temperature
of about 450°C. At this temperature, the steel
reacts with the
molten zinc to
form a series of
zinc/iron alloys
integral with the
steel surface.
III. As the steel
workpiece is
removed from
the bath, a layer
of relatively pure
zinc is deposited
on top of the alloy
layers.
As the zinc
solidifies it
usually assumes
a crystalline
metallic lustre,

often referred to as ‘spangling’. The thickness
of the galvanized coating is influenced
by various factors including the size and
thickness of the workpiece, the steel surface
chemistry and the surface preparation of the
steel.
Weathering Steels
Weathering steels are high strength, low-
alloy weldable structural steels that possess
good weather resistance in many atmospheric
conditions without the need for protective
coatings. They contain up to 2.5% of alloying
elements, e.g. chromium, copper, nickel and
phosphorous. On exposure to air, under
suitable conditions, they form an adherent
protective rust patina. This acts as a protective
layer that, with time, causes the corrosion rate
to reduce until it reaches a low terminal level,
usually between 2-5 years.
Key Points
1. In dry heated interiors no special
precautions are necessary.
2. The corrosion of steel can be considered
as an electrochemical process.
3. For steel to corrode, it is necessary to
have the simultaneous presence of
water and oxygen.
4. The principle factors that determine
the rate of corrosion of steel in air are
the time of wetness and the presence of
atmospheric pollution.
5. The prevention of corrosion should,
therefore, be taken into account during
the design stage of a project.
6. Painting is the principle method of
protecting structural steelwork from
corrosion.
7. Hot dip galvanizing is the most
common method of applying a metal
coating to structural steel.

In order to give its members a first-hand

experience of the construction of what
will become one of Singapore’s iconic
steel structures, Singapore Structural Steel
Society’s Mr Anthony Tan had organised
a site visit to The Gardens By The Bay at
Marina South (GBMS). When completed, it
will feature two huge steel-glass structures
to house plants and trees from all over the

Singapore Gardens by the Bay is the largest

garden project ever undertaken in Singapore,
and a landscape project of world significance
intended to raise Singapore’s profile and
cement its image as the leading garden city in
the east. This project is integral to the future
planning of Singapore as a major global hub
and business centre. The master plan takes its
inspiration from the form of the orchid flower,
and has an intelligent infrastructure that
allows the cultivation of plants that would
not otherwise grow in Singapore.
This project was won in an international
design competition as part of a team led by
landscape architects Grant Associates.

• Will continued use, or the proposed new
use, increase loadings and other actions
on the structure above established
existing levels?
The As-Built Structure
Modern structures are hardly ever
constructed as the initial drawings may
indicate, so it would be surprising to discover
that an older building was in full accord with
any drawings that may exist – a thorough
investigation will be essential.
It’s always worthwhile however to attempt
to look for the following:
• Missing connectors (bolts, rivets, etc.).
• Defects in cast iron and welds such as
blowholes and porosity.
While some of these items should be
readily visible, problems arise with painted
metalwork, and embedded or encased
metalwork. In such cases it may be necessary
to remove paintwork by blast cleaning (taking
health and safety precautions as appropriate),
to open up embedded or encased metalwork
for closer examination or to adopt non-
destructive test methods. The uncovering
of metalwork may be unwelcome, but is an
important step in the appraisal process as
the encasement itself may have encouraged
water penetration and retention, and may
therefore be concealing significant defects.
In some cases, the expansion of corrosion
products may be revealed by cracking in the
encasement. The absence of cracks should not
be considered definitive, as the encasement
may have been replaced without addressing
the internal defects.
Structural Members and Connections
Careful examination of sections to establish
sizes is needed, especially with built-up
members and hollow sections. Hollow
cast iron sections may have an eccentric
void, so investigation of the thickness at
intervals around the section (and at different
levels to avoid drilling at the same level) is
recommended. Several references provide
dimensional data for older rolled sections.
It is important to locate any original records,
and any records or subsequent investigations,
alterations, remedial works etc. The general
form of construction is likely to follow the
type of construction common at the time
the structure was completed, so reference to
historical records, reports on similar buildings
and reference works that describe construction
types can be helpful in identifying design
practice and forms of construction. Such
documents may well indicate the type of
material to be expected, and identify details
which may require remedial work, and help
identify where detailed investigation should
be focused.

What Material?
In structural applications, metals will
generally be grey cast iron, wrought iron,
or steel. These three materials can be
distinguished principally by appearance.
Dating may be helpful in corroborating visual
evidence, and particularly in separating
wrought iron (late 1840s to 1890s) from steel
(1880s to the present day). Sampling will
give definitive confirmation of material; this
may be essential, especially in more recent
structures where there may be stainless steel,
spheroidal graphite cast iron, or cast steel.
Sampling must be carefully undertaken –
especially if cast iron is suspected, due to its
brittle behavior. Guidance is available on how
and where samples should be taken.
Structural Defects
Examination should aim to identify and
record the structural condition, including:
• Distortions such as bowing, bulging, local
impact damage, out-of-plumb, buckling,
and bolt and rivet distortions.
• Fractures and cracks in members and
connections (with particular attention to
cast iron and welds).
• Corrosion

June 2010 – September 2010 Steel News & Notes
Overall Structural Performance
In addition to the adequacy of individual
members and connections to carry the self
weight and externally applied loads, the
structure will be required to have certain
levels of robustness against disproportionate
collapse. As tying requirements are relatively
modern, very old structures will not have
made explicit provision for this design issue.
In some cases, the form of construction may
provide adequate tying with no further work
– in others, some strengthening work may
be necessary. More modern performance
requirements also include the need for
fire protection, where a range of solutions
are possible from intumescent coatings to
encasement.
Remedial Work
A whole range of solutions are possible to
repair, replace, reinforce or relieve existing
members. With older buildings of historical
interest, it may be that the visual appearance
of the remedial measures or the impact on
the existing structure is of critical importance
to the owners or regulators that need to be
discussed at an early stage of development as
minimal intervention may be demanded.

Key Points
• It is important to understand the charac-
teristics and behavior of any structural
material or form of construction as a pre-
requisite to the appraisal process.
• The properties of cast and wrought iron
and steel are predictable, and permit
structures using these materials to be re-
used, adapted and upgraded.
• Wrought iron and steel are ductile
materials. Cast iron is relatively brittle
and weaker in tension than compression.
• The historical aspects of the use of these
materials, their quality of manufacture
and installation, and the design methods
existing at the time, are all important
considerations in the appraisal process.
• Material testing may be required to
provide more quantitative information.
• Load testing may be carried out in
extreme situations.
• Strengthening or upgrading of the existing
structure often requires attachments
formed by welding, bolting or clamping,
or in some cases by composite action with
other materials.
• Fire protection can be achieved by
intumescent coatings, or encasement.
