(EN 1993-1-1:2005) IN DESIGNING THE RESTRAINED STEEL BEAM

PROBLEM STATEMENT • The design code for structural steel in Malaysia is primarily based on the

British Standard (BS 5950). • Malaysia haven't fully implemented Eurocodes 3 (EC3). • This phenomenon is due to the lack of information of designers

towards Eurocodes 3 (EC3) and the different terminologies used in EC3 compare to British Standards. Most of the engineers are sceptical with the usage of EC3.

_ PRODUCT DESCRIPTION • This software application will utilize the design formulas and produce result

which then can be compared between the two design codes. • Various functions is available to resolve the calculation within a few seconds

based on data requirements such as different loading types, loading data, beam lengths and steel grades. The results can be compared to choose the structural elements that are most economical and safe to use.

1) Simplify the design process, minimize the error in design. 2) Analysis, design and comparison process of steel beam can be done within

a short period of time. 3) Various loading types, loading data, size of steel beam, length of steel beam

grade of steel beam can be analyzed. friendly in terms of zero number of paper used and reusable.

ik.Ih,enless, in terms of time saving and costing.

FLOWCHART OF THE SOFTWARE APPLICATION

COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL • Potentially to be the best medium for construction industry in Malaysia to

clearly understand and more exposed about the benefit in designing steel structure by using Eurocode compared to the British Standard.

• Academician can use this software application as teaching aid tool or reference in teaching steel structure design.

EPOXY-RECYCLED COPPER (E-RECOP) AS THERMOFORMING MOLD MATERIALS

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION • Rigidity and conductivity of metal thermoforming mold is better but it is expensive in

term of fabrication process and material; E-REGOP mold is fabricated using simple, fast fabrication method. Lower material cost and it is able to fabricate in house.

• Recycle copper is chosen due to its properties are almost equivalent to the virgin copper and low in cost. As compared to virgin copper, recycled copper can help in reduce the production cost of the mold material and still provide the equivalent properties as virgin copper.

• Using recycled copper is more environmental friendly compared to a newly mined copper, which the mining and refining process of newly mined copper can cause pollution in the mother earth.

'---'11 PROCESS FLOW

Raw materials: • Recycled copper • epoxy resin • hardener

The epoxy- recycled copper mold was obtained.

ADVANTAGES

The recycled copper filler was added and the mixture was stirred using mechanical stirrer until the mixture was homogeneous.

l

The mixture was lhen caste Into the mould and the composite was cured using air oven at 100 ' C @ 1 hour.

• Low material cost: 77% reduction in cost as compared to copper mold; 20% reduction in cost as compared to aluminium mold.

• Manufacturers are able to fabricate the E-REGOP mold in house- simple fabrication process.

• Lighter weight 87% reduction in weight as compared to copper mold; 59% reduction in weight as compared to aluminium mold.

• Recycled waste material to reduce pollution to the mother earth. • Fast and simple fabrication processing method • Low fabrication cost • Lighter weight.
