About Standard

Australian Standards AS 3990 and AS 4100 are widely used in the design of steel structures for mechanical equipment and buildings.

AS 3990 (1993) is tailored for steelwork associated with mechanical equipment such as cranes, pressure vessels, lifts, and mining systems.
AS 4100 (2020) applies to steel structures in buildings and cranes, with limit states design checks for axial, bending, shear, and combined actions.

SDC Verifier supports both standards with full automation of checks, stress verification, and report generation. Member recognition, yield strength settings, and moment modification factors are easily configured.

With verified implementations aligned with the Australian Steel Institute’s worked examples, you can trust your results are both compliant and accurate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Australian standards are implemented in SDC Verifier?

SDC Verifier supports AS 3990 (1993) for mechanical steelwork and AS 4100 (2020) for structural steel design.

What types of structures does AS 3990 apply to?

AS 3990 covers steelwork associated with mechanical equipment like cranes, pressure vessels, mining equipment, and bulk handling systems. It excludes bridges and cold-formed members.

Can I check combined loading conditions using AS 4100?

Yes. AS 4100 implementation includes checks for axial, bending, shear, and combined actions based on the 2020 edition.

Are all cross-section types supported?

The software supports double- and single-symmetric I-sections, channels, tees, circular and rectangular tubes, as well as solid bars, in line with standard limitations.

Do I need to define beam lengths manually?

No. SDC Verifier uses Beam Member Finder to automatically assign beam lengths for Y and Z directions, as required by AS 3990 and AS 4100.
