Access platforms and balustrading must be designed to accommodate the design loading detailed in AS1170 parts 0, 1, 2 and 4, and AS1657. This can include crowd or blast loading, particularly in public spaces such as sports centers and public transport infrastructure KUSCH are experienced in the structural design of access platforms, and can incorporate…
Ceilings and partitions pose a risk to building occupants if not properly designed by a structural engineer, as they are susceptible to collapse under rare earthquake or wind events AS2785 contains the design requirements for suspended ceilings in Australia, and the loading scenarios the ceilings must be able to accommodate KUSCH works alongside designers to…
Blast design of non-structural fixtures and services within airports and rail stations seeks to minimise fragmentation and associated injuries in a blast event. KUSCH provide expertise in the design of non-structural fixtures, building services, ceilings and partitions for blast loads, utilising advanced modeling and analysis. Project examples include: Design of glass balustrading for blast impulse…
Through collaboration and testing with manufacturers and the CSIRO, KUSCH have developed specific expertise in the design of building services for fire performance. Examples include: Design of prefabricated duct risers with integrated fire-rated ductwork Design and certification of suspended framing and concrete anchors for fire conditions Design of support framing for building services required to…
KUSCH have assisted numerous manufacturers with the research, testing and development of construction products and systems, including: Composite carbon fiber-aluminium beam systems for light-weight large-span structural framing Load-rating and dynamic testing of seismic cable brace systems Development of cantilever post systems for seismic bracing of services in congested spaces Rating and testing of metal duct…
