钢材替代材料在新加坡钢结构房屋建筑中的应用（英文）

2008年4月,新加坡房屋建设局针对工业部门发布了设计指导BC 1∶2008,目前按照非BS标准制作的钢材替代材料允许用于钢结构房屋建筑中.本文通过设计中钢材替代材料的使用,检验了BC 1中对材料的性能的要求,并编辑了具有满足最基本材料性能要求的钢材替代材料清单.这些材料在钢材生产过程中,可以当作正常材料使用,不会有任何限制或降低材料等级,从而能满足质量要求.目前的重点是存货商家在货源以及从正规厂家进口到新加坡的钢材具有严格生产质量控制以及生产厂家的测试合格证.再进一步,在新加坡的所有钢材建筑业的关键从业者,包括生产者、存货者、买卖者、检查者、制作者以及工程师,都有责任去保持钢材使用的质量.

Use of Alternative Steel for Building Structures in Singapore

In April 2008,the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore releases design guide BC 1∶ 2008 to the industry and alternative steel materials which are manufactured to non-BS standards are now permitted in steel building structures designed to BS 5950.This paper examines the BC 1 requirements for material performance and quality assurance vis--vis the use of such alternative steel materials in design.A list of certified alternative steel materials complying with the minimal essential material performance requirements is compiled. These certified materials are treated as per normal without any restriction or downgrading in design if they are produced by steel mills who can meet the quality assurance requirements. Emphasis is now placed on our stockholders and traders to source and import into Singapore steel materials from audited mills which have in place stringent factory production control system and proper mill test certification. Moving forward, all key stakeholders in Singapore＇ s steel construction industry -- manufacturers, stockholders, traders, auditors, fab- ricators and engineers have a duty and are expected to play a role in maintaining quality material usage.
