CISC on the move

s we head towards our annual conference, taking place in Whistler B.C. this fall, I look back at how far CISC has come in such a short time. Although we have a long road ahead, CISC, as an association of all industry stakeholders, is moving rapidly forward. By implementing its first-ever strategic plan three years ago, CISC has morphed into an inclusive industry stakeholder association, with a clear vision and mission to help guide the road forward. Three new areas added to CISCs mission were advocacy, marketing and certification, while existing areas of operation were enhanced to better meet our long-term vision. We have had many great successes over this period, including wins at the federal, provincial and local government levels against mindless wood first bills, the development of prompt payment legislation to ensure the speedy flow of money in construction, and the launch of a spectacular new website that improves communication and helps promote our great industry. We have also introduced a raft of new courses that better assist the industry with continuous learning; a new CISC Solution Centre that drives simplicity in Standards and provides designers with steel framing solutions; and quality certification programs that set a bar to ensure our industry shines over other materials. We formed two new regions Saskatchewan and Manitoba-Northwestern Ontario
bringing focus and enthusiasm to each; commissioned four strategic advocacy studies to better position our Canadian industry in the eyes of governments and specifiers; developed CISCs firstever marketing plan; and organized SteelDay, an annual event showcasing steel as a leading global construction material. A challenge that any organization or association faces is communication, and to address this CISC has launched several new communication vehicles, all with the aim of improving communication and, more importantly, understanding. In early summer, we launched an electronic newsletter specific to members and associates. This will be a quarterly report outlining what CISC is doing for you regionally and nationally. In addition, CISC publishes an Annual Report (in both electronic and print versions), electronic Advantage Steel (monthly) and Advantage Steel (print). We also have our own social media sites, communicate on key events and news on our website, and provide information regularly by email. Currently, we are piloting a cloud-based tool (Box) in Ontario, delivering a vast amount of industry information 24/7. This tool will be expanding to all regions over the coming year. We invite you to join your industry at the upcoming CISC Annual Conference, attend a regional meeting, have a look at our online presence, or review our portfolio, newsletters and publications. See what you and your industry association have done for the steel industry. Youll be impressed.

T echnical C olumn By Alfred F. Wong, P.Eng. Director of Engineering

CISC provides this column as a part of its commitment to the education of those interested in the use of steel in construction. Neither CISC nor the author assumes responsibility for errors or oversights resulting from the use of the information contained herein. Suggested solutions may not necessarily apply to a particular structure or application, and are not intended to replace the expertise of a professional engineer, architect or other licensed professional.
QUESTION 1: When ASTM F1852 bolts are used in a simple bearing-type shear connection designed to receive A325 bolts of equal size, does the bolt tension in F1852 bolts due to pre-tensioning reduce the shear strength? ANSWER: The answer is no. As recognized in CSA S16-09, the bolt in an ASTM F1852 twist-off type bolt assembly has the same ultimate shear strength as an A325 bolt of equal size. The ultimate shear strength of a high strength bolt is not affected by the presence of an initial pretension in the bolt. The Commentary to RCSC Specification for Structural Joints Using High-Strength Bolts offers this explanation: When required, pretension is induced in a bolt by imposing a small axial elongation during installation, as described in the Commentary to Section 8. When the joint is subsequently loaded in shear, tension or combined shear and tension, the bolts will undergo significant deformations prior to failure that have the effect of overriding the small axial elongation that was introduced during installation, thereby removing the pretension. Measurements taken in laboratory tests confirm that the pretension that would be sustained if the applied load were removed is essentially zero before the bolt fails in shear (Kulak et al., 1987; pp. 93-94). Thus, the shear and tensile strengths of a bolt are not affected by the presence of an initial pretension in the bolt. It should be noted that, for a given Class of faying surface (Class A, B or C), S16-09 assigns a smaller slip resistance to F1852 assemblies versus their A325 counterparts pretensioned by means of the turn-of-nut method, in recognition of the larger pretension typical in the turn-of-nut method of installation.
QUESTION 2: When anchor bolts are used to transfer lateral shear in a column base, what is the maximum hole size permitted? I have come across a guide in the literature recommending a maximum hole diameter of 1/16 larger than the anchor bolt diameter but the contractors demand much larger holes. ANSWER: Typically, a shear lug(s) is used to transfer large shear forces between a column base and the footing. Anchor rods are also used, generally to transfer smaller shear. Use of standard hole size for bolts, or 1/16 hole clearance, is not a practical solution as larger holes are necessary in order to accommodate anchor rod installation tolerances, etc. In that case, appropriately designed washers with standard holes are field-welded to the base plate in the erected position to transfer the shear forces. It has been reported in research studies that these anchor rods are subjected to bending as well as shear and any tension where present. QUESTION 3: When checking exural buckling of a channel section under axial load, what radius of gyration should be used to calculate Fex and Fey? ANSWER: In S16-09 Clause 13.3.2, the elastic buckling stresses are given by: Fex = 2E KxLx rx
2
Fey =
2E KyLy ry
For singly-symmetric sections such as channels, the same clause specifies that the y-axis is taken as the axis of symmetry. But when using the tables of properties and dimensions for channels in Part 6 of the Handbook of Steel Construction, the x-axis is defined as the axis of symmetry. Therefore, Fex should be calculated using the radius of gyration ry as given in the Handbook tables, and likewise Fey should be calculated using rx.
Questions on various aspects of design and construction of steel buildings and bridges are welcome. They may be submitted via email to [email protected]. CISC receives and attends to a large volume of inquiries; only a selected few are published in this column.

Second order effects The Canadian approach

he assessment of second order effects due to gravity loads acting on the displaced configuration of a structure undergoing seismic motions can be quite complex, especially when the structure is loaded into the inelastic range. A thorough treatment of this subject is beyond the scope of this article. This discussion will focus on the simplified approach adopted in NBC 2010 and CSA S16-09.
Notional load approach In accordance with the simplified approach prescribed in S16-09, the lateral seismic forces obtained from a first-order linear elastic analysis are supplemented with a set of notional loads that serves to account for the effects due to partial yielding and initial out-of-plumbness. The notional load applied horizontally at each level is taken to be 0.5 per cent of the total gravity loads present at that level. In order to account for (other) P-delta effects, both the first order forces and the notional load effects are multiplied by the amplifier, U2, where U2 = 1+ CfRdf /(Vfh) 1.4 (For cantilever column structures, U2 must not exceed 1.25) in which Cf = total accumulated gravity loads in the storey, Rd = ductility force modification factor, f = inter-storey drift obtained from the first order linear elastic analysis, Vf = storey shear obtained from the first order linear elastic analysis and h = storey height. In this application, Rd serves as a displacement amplifier to account for inelastic deformation. The derivation of this equation is documented in Commentary J of Users Guide NBC 2010 Structural Commentaries. According to Commentary J, P-delta effects may be ignored when U2 1.1. It should be noted that this simplified approach for second order effects also applies to load

seismic corner
combinations without seismic load, except that the equation for U2 takes a different form and neither Rd nor the U2 limits apply. Now, should notional-load and P-delta effects be added to the capacity design forces? Capacity design forces Capacity protected members and components (those remain nominally elastic) in the seismic-force-resisting system (except for conventional construction) are typically required to resist forces associated with the capacity of the yielding element(s). Since the ultimate capacity of the yielding elements restricts the seismic forces (including second order effects) that can be transmitted to the capacity protected elements, these capacity protected elements are designed for forces corresponding to the capacity of the yielding element(s)
only. Bear in mind that the above-mentioned notionalload and P-delta effects have been accounted for in the design of the yielding elements. In situations where other effects, such as wind loads, govern the design of the yielding element(s), an upper limit applies to the seismic component of the capacity design forces. This limit is taken to be the seismic forces calculated using RdRo = 1.3 (forces at RdRo = 1.0 for non-ductile connections), recognizing an inherent overstrength consistent with Ro = 1.3. Notional-load and P-delta effects should be added in the calculation of these upper limits. The use of rigorous inelastic second-order analyses is also permitted provided partial yielding and initial out-of-plumbness are accounted for and the abovementioned upper limit for U2 is observed.

The business case for greenbuilding

Measuring overall cost, socio-economic impact and environmental benefits
s sustainable construction/greenbuilding continues to mature and transition from the niche green movement to the more cost-conscious mainstream, there is increased discussion and demand for a true business case that tangibly demonstrates the economic benefit of building green. In other words, how does the perceived significant green premium that is paid for a LEED (or other rating system) certified project, which some believe can be as high as 17 per cent, help stakeholders save or make more money over the lifecycle of the building? This is the question that Greg Kats, an internationally recognized thought leader and innovator in energy efficiency, renewable energy and green buildings, sought to answer a few years ago. Through a partnership between his national clean energy advisory and venture capital firm, Capital-E, the U.S. Greenbuilding Council (USGBC), the World Green Building Council, and several U.S. government agencies, industry associations and consulting firms, Kats launched a national research project that analyzed over 146 green buildings across the United States to measure their overall cost, socio-economic impact and environmental benefits when compared to conventional designs for those same buildings. The research findings are presented in his book Greening our Built World. This groundbreaking study presents key data that goes a long way in dispelling common myths, confirming the cost benefits of building green and demonstrating the true triple bottom line returns of sustainable construction.
Several of the studys key findings are outlined below. 1) Costs: a. The average green premium for these green buildings was revealed to actually be slightly less than two per cent, or $3 to $5 per square foot, substantially lower than what was thought earlier to be 17 per cent (Figure1). The majority of these costs can be attributed to the increased architectural and engineering (A&E) design time, modeling costs and time necessary to integrate sustainable building practices into projects. b. T he earlier that green building features are incorporated into the design process, the lower the costs. The use of collaborative integrated design teams and design charrettes engaging all stakeholders in the building from the owner, consultant, HVAC supplier to the tenant has greatly contributed to the seamless integration of green features and the systems overall effectiveness.
FIGURE 1

c. T he cost of green design has dropped in the last few years as the number of green buildings has risen. As an example, many municipalities have seen the cost of LEED Silver buildings drop from a three to four per cent premium several years ago to one to two per cent today. 2) Financial benet: a. Green buildings provide significant financial benefits over conventional buildings and these include energy and water savings, reduced waste, improved indoor environmental quality, greater employee comfort/ productivity, reduced employee health costs and lower operations and maintenance costs. The financial benefits of green design are between $50 and $70 per square foot in a LEED building, over 10 times the additional cost associated with building green. 3) Lower energy consumption: a. On average, green buildings use 30 per cent less energy than a conventional building. b. For a 100,000-square-foot office building, this savings translates to $60,000 per year, and with a 20-year PV (Present Value) of expected energy savings at a five per cent real discount rate, the total savings would be worth about $750,000.
c. A detailed review of 60 LEED rated buildings demonstrates that green buildings, when compared to conventional buildings, are: On average 25 to 30 per cent more energy efficient; Characterized by lower electricity peak consumption; More likely to generate renewable energy on-site; M ore likely to purchase grid power generated from renewable energy sources; O n average, green buildings are 28 per cent more efficient than conventional buildings and generate two per cent of their power on-site from photovoltaics (PV); and T he financial benefits of 30 per cent reduced consumption at a reference electricity price of $0.08/kWh are about $0.30/ft2/yr. With a 20-year NPV savings of over $5/ft2, this is equal to or more than the average additional cost associated with building green.

Source: Capital E Analysis
a. T here is growing recognition of the large health and productivity costs imposed by poor indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in commercial buildings estimated variously at up to hundreds of billions of dollars per year. This is not surprising as people spend 90 per cent of their time indoors, and the concentration of pollutants indoors is typically higher than outdoors, sometimes by as much as 10 or even 100 times. b. T here are many studies, reports and articles on the subject that find significantly reduced illness symptoms, reduced absenteeism and increases in perceived productivity over workers in a group that lacked these features. Some common features of a green building that are known to positively impact and improve occupant health and productivity include: B etter building material source controls, less toxic materials, low-emitting adhesives and sealants, paints, carpets, and composite woods, and indoor chemical and pollutant source control; S ignificantly better lighting quality achieved with: More daylighting: half of 21 LEED green buildings reviewed provide daylighting to at least 75 per cent of building space; B etter daylight harvesting and use of shading; and G reater occupancy control over light levels and less glare. O verall improvements in thermal comfort and better ventilation especially in buildings that use underfloor air for space conditioning;
20-year Net Present Value $5.80 $1.20 $0.50 $8.50 $36.90 to $55.30 $52.90 to $71.30 (-3.00 to -$5.00) $50 to $65
M uch lower source emissions from measures such as better siting (e.g., avoiding locating air intakes next to outlets, such as parking garages, and avoiding recirculation); C ommissioning, use of measurement and verification, and CO2 monitoring to ensure more efficient performance of systems such as ventilation, heating and air conditioning; and F our of the attributes associated with green building design increased ventilation control, increased temperature control, increased lighting control and increased daylighting have been positively and significantly correlated with increased productivity. Increases in tenant control over ventilation, temperature and lighting each provide measured benefits from 0.5 per cent up to 34percent, with average measured workforce productivity gains of 7.1 per cent with lighting control, 1.8 per cent with ventilation control and 1.2 per cent with thermal control.

STEELWORK ON DISPLAY
Union Station revitalization spotlights steel, above and below ground
By Matthew Bradford
orontos Union Station is in the midst of significant renovations, the results of which are on track to showcase some of the citys most innovative and advanced steelwork by 2016. The large-scale revitalization is an initiative by the City of Toronto to breathe new life into the historic transportation hub. Funded in part by the city, the Government of Ontario, and the Government of Canada, the $640-million project includes the installation of new
York Street and Bay Street GO concourses, the expansion of Union Stations total concourse space, vast system upgrades, and both interior and exterior restorations. One of the most striking changes being made to the Front Street landmark, however, is the replacement of Union Stations existing train shed roof with a steel framed, glass enclosed atrium. Managed by Metrolinx, and designed by Zeidler Partnership Architects, the so-called floating
box enclosure will treat passengers to more access to natural light and bring a modern accent to the facilitys iconic look. The goal is to create an inspiring, large-volume, light-filled space, explains Peter DiLullo, former GO Manager and current Professional Advisor to GO for the Union Station Revitalization. The public will be able to enjoy much expanded vistas and increased natural light within the train shed while enjoying protection from the elements at the same time.

The steel components that are not visible to the public are the key to the realization of the daring idea of building a major retail mall below Canadas busiest transportation hub
- Dr. Hassan Saffarini, NORR Engineering
The atrium framing is supported by industrial grade trusses and a series of grouped steel columns that provide lateral stability to the structure. As for the atriums design, DiLullo notes the ghostly steel-behind-glass motif was modelled after Union Stations existing arched window located at the west of its Great Hall, while the overall inspiration came from similar facilities across the pond. The architectural fine detailing results in a very modern and inspiring structure that is in keeping with many of the grand, newly-modernized train stations of Europe, he explains. Built to last and designed to turn heads, Union Stations new atrium is indeed one of the hallmarks of the revitalization project. According to DiLullo, its construction would not be feasible without the use of structural steel. The atrium had to be located at least 15.5 metres or 51 feet above track level in order to maintain the natural ventilation properties of the train shed, which is a design feature of the original train shed roof and is also an energy conserving and sustainable design feature. The atrium had to be supported on the existing train shed foundations, and the lightweight steel and glass structure made this possible, he says. Placing the atrium has not been without its challenges. As with most of the revitalizations components,

crews were required to carry out the daunting installation with no interruption to the stations existing train services. Erection of the structural steel was a major challenge given that the train shed must remain fully operational during construction. This challenge was overcome by the
close collaboration and teamwork of the contractor, Aecon; the contractor administrator, RJC; and the GO Transit team, explains DiLullo. Behind the scenes Though the new atrium is positioned to become one of the most eyecatching aspects of Union Stations revitalization, some of the most
impressive steelwork is also occurring below street level. Specifically, the City of Torontos crews have been hard at work modifying upwards of 185 support columns beneath the track to clear space for a 160,000-square-foot retail and concourse area, which is being developed three metres below the existing site.
Once completed, the airier, light-lled station will rival many of those in Europe

The steel components that are not visible to the public are far more numerous and are the key to the realization of the daring idea of building a major retail mall below Canadas busiest transportation hub, says Dr. Hassan Saffarini, Structural Engineering Manager at NORR Engineering, the projects designer. NORR Engineering has been a key provider of architecture and engineering design services to the City on the revitalization project since 2007. Detailing the work required for the massive underground development, Saffarini explains: Major steel shoring extended into bedrock was employed to sequentially prop and jack-up the track slab while the columns of this viaduct structure were cut, their foundations removed, and new deeper foundations and new columns were constructed. This was certainly key to the placement of the mall below the functioning station. That was not enough to make the mall attractive and fully functional though, continues Saffarini. Storeyhigh steel trusses were used to double the 90-year-old grid spacing in the loading dock and the full removal of intermediate columns. These trusses are permanent but will be concealed by drywall. Another crucial component is the load transfer steel framing that almost tripled the width of one-third of the main malls corridor as it would have otherwise bottlenecked to a mere eight-foot passageway. Similar to the atriums installation, the construction for the underground retail space required crews to carry out the dig down and column modifications without disturbing Union Stations passenger services. And like Metrolinxs work above ground, Saffarini says overcoming this challenge required keeping all of its partners in the loop.
Many aspects of the Union Station reconstruction would not be possible without structural steel, say designers

Project Profile
We conducted many workshops and brainstorming sessions with stakeholders and their consultants to ensure we got everyone involved, says Saffarini. Structural highlights No doubt, Union Stations revitalization efforts have put the benefits of steel on display. And, in addition to the new atrium and underground retail space, steel has played an essential role in other key project components. This includes structural enhancements to the facilitys aging head house, which sports a nearly 100-year-old steel frame founded in bedrock on concrete caissons and clad in stone masonry.
As part of the dig down, the steel riveted frame is now to be married to the high-strength modern steel to extend one floor deeper. This will be achieved by a combination of sophisticated temporary works that will support and shore four and sometimes five storeys, explains Saffarini. The splicing of old to new by the use of modern bolts and weld will add function and yet maintain the character of this outstanding heritage building. Further restoration efforts include opening up Union Stations great hall via the York concourse, (opening in 2013) and the Bay concourse, as well as a new skylight. Overall, adds Saffarini, the steelwork that has been done, or is in the
process of being completed, has allowed the City of Toronto to accomplish its vision for an impressive new facility. It will not only make an impact on Front Street, but from a practical perspective will be well equipped to handle Torontos growing commuter population. The use of steel in the revitalization project of Union Station is very diverse and is fairly expressive of the versatility of this outstanding material, notes Saffarini. It ranged from using steel as an essential component of the heavy construction temporary works, to the use of steel as an refined architectural material in providing the elegant skylight cover of the moat and tramway.
Steel acts as a rened architectural element of the modern skylight cover

ARCHITECTURE & GREEN STRUCTURES

Nova Scotia Power Corporate Headquarters ENGINEER: BMR Structural Engineering Limited ARCHITECT: WZMH OWNER: N ova Scotia Power Incorporated STEEL FABRICATOR: Marid Industries Ltd. The Nova Scotia Power Corporate Headquarters site occupies a prominent location in downtown Halifax, with significant frontage on the public boardwalk that lines the western edge of Halifax harbour. The project involved the retention and adaptive reuse of a former power generating plant to become the headquarters for the provincial electrical utility. The facility houses over 500 staff in approximately 18,000 gross square metres and provides parking for 150 cars. The project used an innovative construction strategy that involved the reuse of the existing steel structure and exterior concrete cladding, in conjunction with the insertion of floors within the existing volume. Originally designed to support coal bins and turbines, the structure and foundations were robust enough to support the new floors. The main public entrance on Lower Water Street, leads into a five-storey atrium that connects the neighbourhood to the waterfront, offering spectacular views of the harbour. A secondary axis in the form of a two-to-four-storey galleria provides an interior street that parallels the boardwalk for the entire length of the building. These public spaces and the openness of views they provide promote casual interaction between employees. Glazed interfloor stairs on the building perimeter, and exterior balconies at the atrium, keep users in contact with the harbour. In a gesture to the memory of the buildings initial use, the original steel structure has been retained and featured. Skylights sit in the base of former chimney stacks along the roof of the galleria. The former power plant, previously considered an eyesore in the local community, has become an attractive downtown landmark for all citizens. The project is the starting point of Halifaxs boardwalk, and provides employees and the public with access to the harbour. The building is the first in Atlantic Canada to achieve the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification. This designation was received from the Canada Green Building Council and is one of the nations most recognized certifications in green building design and construction. Some of the unique features of the building include:

Harbour heat pumps use water straight from the Halifax harbour for heating and cooling purposes; Over 75 per cent of occupied spaces have access to daylight, with occupancy and daylight sensors used throughout the building to reduce or eliminate unnecessary lighting; and Rainwater is collected and recycled for use in and around the building. Structural steel was the obvious choice for this construction as the existing columns within the space were steel, making the connection of the new floors to the existing columns less challenging. Ribbons of steel were cut from the existing structural members and they were tested in a laboratory to determine the tensile strength of the existing steel. Since large portions of the original concrete exterior walls were removed to create windows, doors and louvres,
a brand new structural steel lateral load resisting system was introduced within the building. In addition, some of the original concrete that was supposed to remain became unstable during demolition and it was tied to the steel frame using steel straps and anchors. The largest challenge in this project was the installation of the new floors within
the existing shell. All new floor levels were installed simultaneously starting at one end of the building and moving laterally along the building because the cranes used were inside the existing building during erection, which greatly limited crane swings. At the south end of the building as many as seven new floor levels were constructed within the existing shell.

At least it was to the construction team on the Missouri River Bridge project when their initial concrete design priced over budget at almost $45 million. They then had to scramble for other options. Turned out the solution was steel. After coming up with a new design, they turned to Nucor. And we were able to help them build a beautiful, easy to maintain and environmentally friendly bridge at less than half the cost of concrete. Who wouldve thought. www.nucoryamato.com

Maintenance Hangar 1 at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton ENGINEER: SNC Lavalin Inc. ARCHITECT: Kasian Architecture Interior Design & Planning Ltd OWNER: Department of National Defence STEEL FABRICATOR: Burnco Manufacturing INC. The Department of National Defences (Canada) Maintenance Hangar 1 at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton, Ontario, are hangar facilities for the maintenance of the Air Forces newly acquired fleet of C-17 GlobemasterIII transport aircraft. Existing hangar facilities at CFB Trenton were not large enough or suitable to perform routine maintenance work and Home Station checks on the C-17. Completed in April 2012, the facility is now capable of providing maintenance to the fleet of four C-17s. The first Home Station Check for the C-17 at CFB Trenton was performed earlier this month. Providing this capability has had a tremendous impact on flight operations. Prior to this capability, the air and maintenance crews were required to be off-site for 12 days out of every month. Maintenance Hangar 1 is a two-bay Corrosion Control and Fuel Cell Maintenance Hangar that was planned and designed on a fast-track schedule starting in 2008. The 22,700-squaremetre (gross) facility is located on a 60,000- square-metre site on the North side of CFB Trenton and has a building footprint of 18,500 square metres. Hangar 1 is a state-of-the-art facility that uses approximately 4,000 tonnes of structural steel and is considered to be the largest single-building construction project for the Canadian Forces anywhere in the world. Structural steel was the preferred choice of construction material for the Hangar1 primary structural framing system. The choice of steel provided numerous benefits to the project compared to other materials. The Hangar 1 facility features two maintenance bays complete with support shop and administration areas, a sloped hangar steel roof to allow for drainage, two 60-metre long x 23-metre high vertical lift fabric hangar bay doors supported from roof trusses. Other significant features include two moveable/telescoping work platforms supported by roof trusses, weighing approximately 55,000 kg each, in the one hangar bay, and a five-tonne overhead steel-rail-mounted crane in the other hangar bay. The two roof supported telescoping work platforms installed on this project are the only platforms of their type known to exist in Canada. Both hangar bays have an extensive network of overhead fall-arrest tracks

that allows safe work access to the various aircraft mentioned previously. Hangar 1 was designed to limit the physical effects on the surrounding environment. It integrates reflective roofing material that is meant to help reduce the heat island effect, which creates a hot microclimate, as a result of heat absorbing materials. The site also utilizes a storm water runoff management pond to reduce overload on municipal systems. The buildings integrated lighting was designed to minimize light trespass from the site, reduce sky glow, improve night-time visibility through glare reduction and reduce the development impact on nocturnal environments. The building includes a rainwater harvesting system (20,000 L cistern), low flow fixtures and xeriscaping in order to reduce potable water use and water consumption. Also incorporated in the design, a wash water recycling system was installed to reduce water consumption. This system stores, processes and reuses plane wash water.

OWNER: Algonquin College CONTRACTOR: EllisDon CISC DETAILER: Telco Steel Works Ltd. ERECTOR: Domi-Nation Steel In order to meet the fast-paced design-build schedule required to complete the construction of the building on time, the team needed a structure that could be designed, detailed and erected as quickly as possible. Although the original concept for the building was cast-in-place concrete, the design-build team recognized that significant time could be saved by constructing the classroom tower with structural steel. In addition to the timesaving advantage that steel offered, the decision to use structural steel for the superstructure also resulted in significant material savings, especially with respect to foundation work required. As well, the use of structural steel for both the Classroom Tower and the Trades Shop facilitated large column free spaces with long, clear spans.

CAPILANO CLIFFWALK OWNER: Capilano Group of Companies GENERAL CONTRACTOR: Marc Luc Lalumire ENGINEER: Morrison Hershfield Ltd. STEEL FABRICATOR / DETAILER: Solid Rock Steel Fabricating Co. Ltd. STEEL ERECTORS: Marc Luc Lalumire & Solid Rock Steel Fabricating Co. Ltd. As part of its vision to create experiences that people are amazed by, the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park in North Vancouver has produced CLIFFWALK through innovative engineering design. CLIFFWALK, an eco-adventure, allows people to safely access the face of a 90-metrehigh granite cliff on a labyrinth-like series of narrow steel cantilevered bridges, stairs and platforms through an old-growth West Coast rainforest. CLIFFWALK also serves as the medium to describe the importance of the water cycle. This is accomplished through a series of interactive exhibits, developed in conjunction with the David Suzuki Foundation, on this amazing 213-metre journey. Unique survey/construction techniques and cutting-edge technology were required in this one-of-a-kind park that hosts more than 800,000 visitors ann ua lly. To create CLIFFWALK, the design, fabrication and construction techniques needed to be heavily interconnected. Steel was chosen for its versatility, ease of customization, constructability and durability. Approximately 80,779 lbs of galvanized steel was used for the project, including for most of the foundations, the main structural members, a custom motorized overhead entrance gate, miscellaneous signage, lighting and educational displays, and the entire guard system. This guard system consists of over 500 metres of steel handrails and a proprietary stainless steel mesh from Carl Stahl Dcor Cable. Minimal impact on the environmental footprint was achieved throughout the process as workers hung over cliffs on ropes to install Duel Corrosion Protection steel rock anchors as well as the structure itself. Due to its first-of-a-kind design and site constraints, each piece was custom designed and built through an intricate step-by-step process that would minimize as much as possible its impact on the surrounding area. CLIFFWALK is longer than two football fields and allowed the reclamation of 8,100 square metres of previously unusable park land, a net benefit of over 735 per cent. Architecturally, this project demonstrates the many creative uses of steel and how steel aesthetically can blend into a natural environment. CLIFFWALK has exceeded the expectations of the client, who describes it as a breathtaking marriage of nature and engineering.

Line Design Approach, Failure Mechanism Concept and Fuse Design Philosophy were applied. This led to 20 per cent cost savings for steel and 30 per cent for concrete. It also resulted in the worlds longest continuous superstructure, with a length of 1045 metres and expansion joints only at the abutments. The symmetrical superstructure cons ists of two vertical Warren trusses connected by Chevron cross frames and wind braces at top and bottom chord levels. The articula tion scheme utilizes disk bearings at the piers and abutments. The bearings guide the superstructure
in the transverse bridge direction but allow longitudinal movements due to temperature changes. Two steel A-pylons located at the tallest piers flank the navigation channel located in the bridge centre. The eight piers of the bridge are founded on concrete spread footings which are cast into the Mackenzie River bed using cofferdams. Classified as an Extradosed Bridge System, the open steel box girders have significant bending stiffness and are only locally reinforced with stays and king posts. The Deh Cho Bridge has a very different struct ural behaviour than similar-looking cable-stayed bridges.
The superstructure design was optimized to maximize prefabric ation and allow a fast-paced erection technique. The top priorities were robustness, durability and the ease of inspection and maintenance. The goal was to achieve the highest returns on investment over the next 75 years of service. The Deh Cho Bridge project is a lighthouse of the bridge engineering discipline. It also provides evidence that modern progress in an industrialized society is possible in a responsible manner and in harmony with Canadas Aboriginal people and Mother Nature.

BC PLACE ROOF REVITALIZATION PROJECT OWNER: B.C. Pavilion Corporation GENERAL CONTRACTOR: PCL Constructors Westcoast Inc. ARCHITECT: Stantec Consulting Ltd. ENGINEER: Geiger Engineers STEEL FABRICATORS / DETAILERS / ERECTORS: Canam Group Inc. (Roof Replacement), Canron Western Constructors LP (Seismic Dampers, Gates, Canopies) This challenging revitalization project was initiated to replace the existing air-supported roof of BC Place Stadium, home of various sports teams and host Olympic Stadium for the Opening and Closing ceremonies of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games. The 60,000-seat stadium first opened in 1983 and featured the worlds largest air-supported roof, but it was nearing its expected service life. The decision was made to renovate the stadium and utilize the structure and foundations of the existing facility rather than replacing the venue. This was much more cost-effective, saved extensive waste from entering landfills and reduced the overall environmental impact of the redevelopment. This roof replacement and facility upgrade was a global undertaking, requiring teamwork from over 150 consultants, subcontractors and supp liers in 20 countries. The new cablesupported roof, which combines retractable and permanent fixed fabric, is the largest of its kind in the world. The retractable portion inflates to 100 metres by 85 metres and then retracts into the centre of the opening. It is hidden inside a pod above the second largest centre-hung high definition videoboard in North America. Held in place by 36 steel masts that are 47 metres tall (120 tons each) and 36 compression beams (160 tons each), the structure is like 18 suspension bridges, each around 200 metres long. It is held together by 35 kilometres of cable up to 125mm in diameter that were post-tensioned on-site. The extensive retrofit upgrades took place concurrently during the roof erection and included a seismic upgrade, enhanced entrance and concourses, and new mechanical and electrical systems. Further improvements included new sound systems and energy-efficient LED lighting, HD electronic video boards, replacement of over 54,000 seats and installation of an all-weather new artificial turf surface which achieved FIFA 2-Star certification, the highest rating possible. The new roof has breathed new life into iconic BC Place, allowing it to continue to attract a diversified range of sporting activities and community events to Vancouver.

National Buyer Seller Forum
The National Buyer Seller Forum (NBSF) delivers the oil sands supply chain action in one stop, and this year the must-attend event takes you even closer to Canadas biggest energy customers by moving to Calgary. Whether international delegations, high-level producing companies, key suppliers or government representatives, the NBSF is the place to be if you are doing business in the oil sands. The 2013 event takes place November 12 to 14 at the BMO Centre in Calgary. For the last 12 years, the NBSF has been the pre-eminent gathering for buyers and sellers along the oil sands supply chain a place to meet, connect, discuss issues and opportunities, and do business across the chain. Given the significant activity, challenges and opportunities ahead for the industry, the forum is more important than ever. Much has changed (and continues to change) in the oil sands industry, so the show has changed as well. The focus of the significantly enhanced program this year will be on building and improving a world-class, sustainable supply chain for Canadas oil sands.

A professional engineer (structural) who has fully participated in the Connections II course and has achieved an 80 per cent grade on the optional final exam will be designated by CISC as an Accredited Steel Connections Designer - Conventional Construction. Course Leader: To be announced Webinar Format (20@2hrs) Tuesdays and Thursdays, 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET, starting October 1, 2013 (Tentative)
Single Storey Building Design New Course
of the 2010 National Building Code of Canada and the pertinent provisions of CSA Standard S16-09. New topics include ductile plate walls, buckling-restrained braces and higher limits for conventional construction. Updated topics include tension-only braced frames, concentrically braced frames, ductile eccentrically braced frames, Type LD moment resisting frames, ductile moment resisting frames, notional loads, P-delta effects and diaphragms.
Seismic Connections for Steel-Framed Buildings
This course focuses on practical and economical solutions for framing a single-storey warehouse building with attached office area to the requirements of the 2010 National Building Code of Canada and the pertinent provisions of CSA Standard S16-09. Practical steel framing concepts and integration with architectural and mechanical features will be discussed. The presenters will highlight major changes in NBCC 2010 and CSA S16-09. Topics include ponding of rainwater, snow drifting, companion load combinations, wind and seismic loads, notional loads, P-delta effects, selection of deck and joist systems, design of Gerber girders, design of interior and exterior columns, girts, base plates and anchor rods, selection and design of braced frames and roof diaphragm, fire protection issues, steel fabrication considerations, material selection and economics. Course Leader: R. Mark Lasby, B.Sc., P.Eng., Principal Structural Engineer, Fluor Canada Ltd., Vancouver Toronto, ON Oct. 21 Winnipeg, MB Nov. 19 Nov. 20 Nov. 21 Nov. 22
Held in tandem with the Seismic Design course, this course prepares consulting structural engineers and steel fabrication engineers for the design of connections in ductile Seismic Force Resisting Systems in steel-framed buildings to the requirements of the 2010 National Building Code of Canada and Clause 27 of CSA Standard S16-09. The critical connections in the design examples developed for the Seismic Design of Steel-Framed Buildings course are used. Capacity design requirements, now well entrenched in Clause 27 of S16-09, have virtually revolutionized the design, detailing and construction of connections for seismic applications. These requirements make it almost impossible to design Seismic Force Resisting Systems in isolation since the overall behaviour of these frames is highly dependent on the configuration and proportioning of these connections. The course will take participants through the detailed design of connections for moment connections covered in the CISC publication, Moment Connections for Seismic Applications, links and brace connections in Eccentric Braced Frames, tension-compression brace connections, tension-only brace connections, and more.
