AS 4100 (2020)

Steel Structures – Limit State Design Made Practical

Perform code checks in accordance with the Australian Standard AS 4100 (2020) directly in SDC Verifier. Verify strength limit states for structural members under axial tension, compression, bending, shear, and combined actions. Support for I-sections, channels, tubes, and bars—used across buildings, industrial plants, and crane systems.

About Standard

AS 4100 (2020) is the primary standard for structural steel design in Australia. It specifies requirements for the design, fabrication, erection, and modification of steelwork in buildings and structures using limit state methods. The standard covers checks for axial forces, bending, shear, and combined actions.

In SDC Verifier, AS 4100 (2020) is implemented with support for a wide range of symmetrical sections including:

  • I-beams (doubly symmetric)
  • Channels (singly symmetric)
  • Circular and rectangular tubes
  • Circular and rectangular bars

The standard includes design parameters such as residual stresses, moment modification factors, lateral restraint conditions, and section constants—all configurable through the interface.
