Structural Behaviour of Innovative LiteSteel Beams, their Design Improvements and Applications

该项目将为新型LSB开发重要的知识库，准确的设计模型和创新的应用方法，合作伙伴将充分利用这些知识库，在澳大利亚和海外进行营销。建筑业和制造业都将受益于创新和轻质空心法兰节的使用。利用新的部分和丰富的设计信息，澳大利亚工程师可以开发出具有成本效益和更安全的建筑系统。整个社区，特别是农村和地区社区将通过更便宜的建筑系统，LSB制造和设计的额外就业机会以及本地和海外的机会而受益。

This project will develop a significant knowledge base, accurate design models and innovative application methods for the new LSB, which will be fully used by the collaborating partner in marketing them in Australia and overseas. Both construction and manufacturing industry sectors will benefit through the increased use of the innovative and lightweight hollow flange sections. Using the new sections and the wealth of design information from this research, Australian engineers can develop cost-effective and safer building systems. Community at large, in particular rural and regional communities will gain through cheaper building systems, additional employment in LSB manufacturing and design, and opportunities locally and overseas.
