Announcements:
To cover rising costs, interloan charges have increased as of this year from the original $25 to $30. As before, this is per book/standard, or for up to three parts of a multi-part standard. The Industrial Research Ltd Information Centre in Parnell closed at the end of 2005. The LRIC team has always been of great help to HERA, and we are sorry to see them go.
The Australasian Corrosion Association New Zealand (ACANZ) collection, which was previously kept at Industrial Research Ltd, has now moved to HERA. The material in this collection is now available to HERA members, and the HERA Library itself is now available to ACANZ members, which we hope will be of benefit to both.

Hollow Section Publications:
Circular hollow sections make very good columns, either unfilled or filled with concrete. They are also versatile members to use in trusses, where they form elegant assemblies with excellent weather resistance and ease of maintenance. However the design of the members and connections can be more complex tha n with the more commonly used I- sections. CIDECT have published a range of excellent design guides on CHS members and some of these are described below. They are available from HIC .
The following CIDECT publications which relate to the design of constructions with hollow steel sections, circular and rectangular, in the field of structural and mechanical engineering, are available from the HERA Information Centre.
Design Guide for Circular Hollow Section ( CHS ) Joints under Predominantly Static Loading
This volume, the first in the series, shows the design methods and calculation procedures explaining the various factors which play an important role in determining the load bearing capacity and behaviour of various types of welded and bolted joints of circular hollow sections. The design of predominantly statically loaded joints is considered. Numerical calculation examples make the design procedure easy to understand and describe how to come to a safe and economic design.

Structural Stability of Hollow Sections
This second book in the CIDECT series deals with global, local and lateral-torsional buckling. Perusing this book architects, engineers, designers and constructors will obtain a better idea of the advantages they can gain by using hollow sections with regard to stability. Numerical calculation examples add to a better understanding of the subject.
REF 2 - Members $33.75, Assc Members $37.45
Design Guide for Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS) Joints under Predominantly Static Loading
This design guide deals with the static strength criteria for various uni-planar and multi-planar welded and bolted connections of square and rectangular hollow sections with emphasis on the behaviour and governing connection parameters. Based on the simplified analytical models and experimental evidence, semi-empirical limit states design formulae have been recommended. They are accompanied by design diagrams and worked-out examples in order to help the reader to a clear understanding.
REF 3 - Members $33.75, Assc Members $37.45
Design Guide for Structural Hollow Section Columns Exposed to Fire
This, the fourth book in the CIDECT series, deals with the fire protection of hollow steel section columns exposed to fire. All three fire protection methods – external protection by plaster, asbestos or vermiculite as well as intumescent paints and coatings, cooling by water, static or circulating, and concrete filling – have been described in this book with design examples to make them easy to be applied by the user.
REF 4 - Members $33.75, Assc Members $37.45
Design Guide for Concrete Filled Hollow Section Columns under Static and Seismic Loading
This design guide has been prepared to enable designers and constructors to use the composite hollow section columns as structural elements in buildings and bridges not only under static but also under seismic loading, which ill be of additional help to the builders in the earthquake zones.
REF 5 - Members $40.60, Assc Members $45.10
Design Guide for Structural Hollow Sections in Mechanical Applications
This sixth handbook in the CIDECT series aims at suggesting to the project and product engineers, designers and fabricators in the field of mechanical engineering that they consider the excellent mechanical, architectural and structural qualities of hollow steel sections compared to those of other profiles and spend some time evaluating a project or a product to see if the use of hollow steel sections would improve the technique and, probably more importantly save money. Many constructional examples in various fields are shown in this book, which help the reader to understand the appropriate procedures to apply these profiles.

Design Guide for Fabrication, Assembly and Erection of Hollow Section Structures
This seventh handbook covers various aspects of the fabrication, assembly and erection of hollow section structures which should be taken into account to produce a safe, economic and architecturally pleasing construction. It contains technical information on basic structural layouts, jointing methods (welding, bolting etc), connection detailing and layouts and their effect on joint resistance, hot and cold-bending, off-site and on-site fabrication, transportation, and erection of large units, as well as certain economic aspects that should be taken into account which could affect the overall costs of the construction.
REF 7 - Members $54.45, Assc Members $60.50
Design Guide for Circular and Rectangular Hollow Section Welded Joints under Fatigue Loading
This handbook covers the fatigue design of various types of joints between and connections to hollow steel section members. It concentrates mainly on the hot spot stress method for determining the fatigue life of a structure or structural detail. This method is widely regarded as one of the most accurate methods because it can take into account most of the influencing factors. It uses the various parametric formulae to calculate the so called ‘hot spot stress’, which in turn is used to determine the fatigue life of the joint under investigation. The fatigue life determination using the much more restrictive and approximate classification method is also included, but in much less detail.
