Background to sans 10160: basis of structural design and actions for buildings and industrial structures
Get PDFCITATION: Retief, J.V. & Dunaiski, P.E. 2009. Background to SANS 10160: Basis of Structural design and Actions for Buidings and Industrial Structure. Stellenbosch: AFRICAN SUNMeDIA. doi:10.18820/9781920338176.The original publication is available from AFRICAN SUNMeDIA - www.sun-e-shop.co.zaENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Draft South African Loading Code SANS 10160 Basis for structural design and actions for
buildings and industrial structures represents a substantial revision of the present Standard SABS
0160:1989 (Amended 1993). Proper substantiation of the changes and additions is therefore
required. The Background Report captures the main sources of reference, assessments, decisions
and motivations applied in the formulation of SANS 10160.
The background information should primarily be considered when SANS 10160 is evaluated for
acceptance into design practice as a South African National Standard. It should also serve as the
point of departure for the inevitable future revision and updating of SANS 10160. The Background
Report is not intended to serve as a commentary on the future use of SANS 10160 in design practice.
However, the information reported here should provide additional understanding as a complementary
source in cases where critical consideration of design implications is required.
A high degree of harmonisation of SANS 10160 with Eurocode is achieved. Consistency between
SANS 10160 and Eurocode is clearly presented and motivated in the Background Report.Publishers' versio
Updated provisions of SANS 10160-4 for steel structures
Get PDFA forthcoming revision of SANS 10160-4 (Seismic actions and general requirements for
buildings) addresses the omission of structural steel design provisions from the standard, as well
as contradictions between SANS 10160 and SANS 10162, the steel design standard. This note
discusses the background to the proposed provisions.http://www.journals.co.za/ej/ejour_civileng.htmlam2017Civil Engineerin

Development of an updated fundamental basic wind speed map for SANS 10160-3
Get PDFCITATION: Kruger, A. C., Retief, J. V. & Goliger, A. M. 2017. Development of an updated fundamental basic wind speed map for SANS 10160-3. Journal of the South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 59(4):12-25, doi:10.17159/2309-8775/2017/v59n4a2.The original publication is available at http://www.scielo.org.zaENGLISH ABSTRACT: This paper evaluates the need for updating the strong wind climate stipulations of South Africa for the design of structures in accordance with SANS 10160-3:2010, as based on the latest information presented by Kruger et al (2013a; 2013b). The primary objective is to provide the geographic distribution of the characteristic gust wind speed by means of the fundamental value of the basic wind speed, stipulated as vb,0in SANS 10160-3. A reassessment of previously published information is made to incorporate additional wind speed modelling results and to investigate identified anomalies. The format of presentation, based on local municipal districts, is subsequently motivated, assessed and implemented. In order to provide for situations requiring the consideration of the dynamic effects of wind loading, similar information on characteristic hourly mean wind speed is provided. It is concluded that the presentation of wind speed on a district basis provides an effective balance between the spatial resolution of the available information and its use in operational standardised design.http://www.scielo.org.za/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S1021-20192017000400002&lng=en&nrm=isoPublisher's versio
Background to draft SANS 10160 (2009): part 4 seismic loading
No full textThis paper provides a critical overview of the background to the revisions which led to the formulation of Part 4, Seismic Loads, of the South African Standard SANS 10160. The paper also presents a comparison to demonstrate the calibration of the standard against other international standards. Eurocode 8 was used as the principle reference for the formulation of the revised clauses. The clauses for seismic design of SANS 10160 are based on the concept of regular buildings with suitable detailing to allow the necessary ductile behaviour. The paper points out a need to review the use of a redundancy factor which makes provision for a possible lower design peak ground acceleration value and the behaviour factor for reinforced concrete shear walls. The damage limitation criteria also need to be based on Eurocode 8. It is shown that the revised formulation provides lower design forces for regular buildings than in the current standard. This is, however, dependent on the choice of a design nominal peak ground acceleration for the various regions in the country. The available information on nominal peak ground acceleration is presented, and it is pointed out that a decision is needed on the choice of this important parameter for the seismic zones of South Africa
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
