Delve into the intricacies of "Structural Insulated Panels Part 2," a comprehensive course dedicated to the critical design and capacity of fixings in SIPs. This seminar meticulously explores the application of bolts, rivets, and screws in both steel and aluminum structures, guided by the Australian and New Zealand standards AS/NZS 4600 and 1664.

Gain a profound understanding of how to calculate fixing capacities, including:

• Detailed analysis of bolted, screwed, and riveted connections in light gauge steel, covering tear-out, bearing capacity, and bolt hole deformation.
• In-depth examination of screw connections, including tilting, hole bearing, pull-out, and pull-over mechanisms.
• Specific considerations for aluminum structures, detailing bearing capacity, tensile and shear loads, and the nuances of self-tapping screws.
• Advanced scenarios involving combined steel and aluminum connections, focusing on load transfer and utilization ratios.

Through practical MathCAD demonstrations and explanations of underlying spreadsheet calculations, you will learn to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world engineering problems. Enhance your expertise in structural design, ensuring the integrity and efficiency of SIP constructions. This course is essential for graduate engineers seeking to master the complexities of modern construction materials and methodologies.
