South African Jewish MuseumClient: Kaplan Trust1999-2001Design of the reinforced concrete structure supported on Franki Piles. Most notably,conceptual and detail design of the 8,60 m, 5,55m high helical staircase, which completes11/4 revolutions whilst being supported only at its ends. The staircase is the centralarchitectural feature of the museum. The detailing of the support sections presented aparticular challenge, due to the high vertical and torsional shear stresses prevalent there, aswell as significant M x-x and M y-y moments. The section varies in depth from 650mm at itssupports, to 350mm at the midspan sections. The cross section is trapezoidal, in order tomaintain the position of its centroid as close as possible to the axis of the staircase. Design toSABS 0160, South African equivalent to BS8110.

Richards Bay Berth 306

Client: Portnet1999Design of Richards Bay Berth 306 (Coal Quay) extension. Due to the success of the pre-tensioned composite superstructure of Richards Bay Dry Bulk Jetty, this structure wasdesigned with identical pre-fabricated elements. The main structural differences, however,are that Berth 306 comprises a single 21 m span, berthing forces are resisted by a system oflarge diameter composite raking piles, the piles themselves are friction piles as opposed toend bearing piles and Berth 306 required a service tunnel along the cope face. Design to BS5400 and SATS Harbour Manual.

Thecombination sheet pile wall of the retaining structure comprises 1 600 mm, 20 mm thicksteel tubes at 3 m c/c with Larsen sheet pile profiles between them (L3S). The total length ofthe tubes is 21 m. The dead man combination sheet pile wall comprises 1 200 mm, 16 mmthick steel tubes at 1,5 m c/c with Larssen L3S sheet piles between them. The length of thedead man wall is 7 m. Design to BS 5400 and SATS Harbour Manual.

- Superstructure : Composite concrete deck consisting of 1,70 m deep pre-tensioned T-beams, spanning 21 m and weighing 55T acting compositely with a 350 mm thick in-situdeck slab. There are three 21 m spans, which are partially continuous for dead load. TheT-beams are in turn supported by and monolithically connected to 2,0 m deep pre-tensioned spine beams weighing 60T and spanning 10 m between the piles. The spinebeams rest on the pile caps. The pile cap to spine beam connection is pinned in alongitudinal direction to allow for settlement differentials and temperature movements,while being rigid transversely in order to allow moment transfer from the deck to the pilesfor the purposes of resisting berthing forces.
