NASCC 2003 RECAP:
Follow That Car!
100th PDL 24
Everyone knows that more than 95 percent of the structural steel produced in the U.S. is from recycled materials, right? Well just in case you weren’t a believer, this year’s NASCC (National Association Steel Construction Conference, sponsored by American Institute of Steel Construction, AISC) exhibit hall featured an audience participation event to emphasize the point. On Wednesday evening, a stripped-down late model Oldsmobile Achieva was brought to the exhibit hall, and conference attendees were invited to don safety goggles and take a swing at it with their choice of sledge hammers. Within hours, the car was transferred to a scrap yard (Davis Industries of Lorton, VA) for shredding. The car, which weighed about 2200 lbs. when it arrived at the shredder, netted about 1800 lbs. of steel for recycling. The shredded car fit nicely in a cardboard box about 4’ on each side.

“The View From Here” Construction Industry Being Schooled On How to Survive in Tougher Times Steady supply of school, hospital and research facilities fills void
The country’s economic malaise is infecting design firms in the general building sector, especially those with a heavy dose of commercial clients. However, not all the news is glum. Indicators hint that an economic uptick could be just around the corner and architects and engineers say that health care, research and K-12 school markets are providing a steady diet of projects that are more than sustaining firms through the lean times. Sources also say that federal projects are providing another reliable stream of work.
Super Quiet About Super Height Mum’s the word, according to project architect-engineer Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, about the exact height of a proposed supertall building for Dubai, United Arab Emirates. All SOM will reveal is that its latest contender for the world’s tallest building would “surpass” SOM’s 442-meter Sears Tower, the 452m twin Petronas Towers and the planned 492-m Shanghai World Financial Centre, also gearing up for construction. Design for the Burj Dubai mixed-used complex, developed by Emaar Properties PJSC, is under way, says SOM. The Y-in-plan tower has three vertical elements, each with multiple setbacks, “spiraling” around a core. Shapes are derived from geometrics of the desert flower and patterning systems in Islamic architecture, says SOM. Construction is set to begin this year.

New Tax Laws Benefit Capital Equipment Expenditures On May 28, 2003, President Bush signed the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act. Highlights of this new 2003 tax act - as they pertain to our industry are as follows: -
The first year bonus depreciation increased - from 30% to 50% - for qualified property acquired after May 5, 2003 and before January 1, 2005.
-
The Section 179 expense limit increased - for 2003, 2004, and 2005; the annual expense limit for newly acquired fixed assets increases to $100,000. The phase-out range for allowable Sec 179 expense increases to $400,000 of fixed asset additions (previously $200,000).
Financial tax consultants have reported that companies making purchase investments have realized tax savings in the first year of up to 70%! This represents a remarkable savings for those firms seeking competitive advantages. Check with your accountant or tax advisor to learn how this extraordinary new program can help your company grow!
The Search Is On The search is on for the oldest Peddinghaus machine in the field! As part of Peddinghaus’ 100th anniversary celebration, we need your assistance to join the search for the oldest Peddinghaus machine. Very often, our service and parts people are asked technical questions or parts availability for machines that are twenty, thirty, or even forty years old! Two years ago, we received a call on an ironworker that was built in 1952. It’s hard to believe, but we had the correct shear blade in stock, and delivered it the next day to the user. Take a photo of the machine with a company official, and forward to Lyle Menke; e-mail lyle-menke@peddinghaus.com. Send as much data on the machine, application, years in service, etc., along with the photo so we can thoroughly review. We hope to create a special section of our Peddinghaus Wall of Fame dedicated to these historical machines.
The quality standard for fabrication, maintenance,and performance. The Peddinghaus 210 Super 16 Steel Worker.
Could this be the oldest Peddinghaus machine in North America? It is a 210/13 ironworker still in operation at Machinery Services Corp. in Paterson, NJ. Who is the distinguished gentleman at the helm? None other than our own Jerry Hilston, retired Senior Vice President of Peddinghaus Corporation. Jerry remains a true “man of steel” still visiting customers on behalf of Peddinghaus. The Fall 2003, Steel Fab Review, will highlight the outstanding contributions of this venerable gentleman.

The HySpeed ® Advantage Who may benefit most from Hypertherm’s Coaxial-assist jet™ 200-amp oxygen HySpeed technology and how to achieve optimal performance when transitioning from the standard process HySpeed customer profile Hypertherm’s new Coaxial-assist jet technology for the HySpeed HT2000 will provide greatest benefit to high duty cycle users who require high output from their HT2000 systems. The optimal profile for a HySpeed customer is one who:
By delivering dramatically higher cutting speeds, Hypertherm’s HySpeed Coaxial-assist jet technology will considerably reduce operating costs and dramatically increase productivity for many end users. This guide provides a profile of those end users who are likely to see the most benefit from HySpeed. It also describes a few required steps to switch from standard cutting to the HySpeed process.
■ Cuts mild steel primarily if not exclusively with the 200 amp oxygen process ■ Operates the cutting table on multiple shifts ■ Maintains their plasma system in top running order ■ Has a cutting platform (X-Y table or plasma punch press) able to handle cutting speeds up to 50% higher than what they are currently running using the standard process. Old retrofitted oxyfuel tables may not deliver these higher speeds with acceptable cut quality and proper motion control. ■ Follows operating procedures set forth in Hypertherm’s operating manual Typical applications are steel service centers, heavy to mid-level fabricators, shipyards, and larger job shops.
HySpeed process optimization If the end user has an HT2000LHF, they must order a new off-valve assembly in order to cut at the proper pressures and flows for HySpeed. The part number for this new off-valve assembly is 129840. No equipment modification or upgrade is required for a standard HT2000 user. End users seeking to transition from the standard cutting process to HySpeed must have the new 200-amp oxygen consumables, a copy of the new cut chart and adhere to the new cutting parameters. HySpeed requires slightly different arc voltage and gas flow settings. If HySpeed cutting parameters are not used, cut quality will suffer. Here are a few key settings to check at the gas console:
■ In Test Cutflow mode: • O2 pressure gauge must read 120 psig • O2 flow meter ball should be set to 75% ■ During cutting • The O2 flow meter ball should read approximately 72%. Readings significantly different may indicate that a hose is pinched or there is a gas leak. If the gas supply system will not support these settings, then maintenance or repair must be performed. These settings are essential for proper HySpeed performance and cut quality. In addition to gas supply issues, other changes must be made in accord with the new cutting parameters. All are specified in the new cut charts: ■ Reset cut program speeds in accordance with cut chart parameters ■ If the end user operates with arc voltage control, reset arc voltage to cut chart parameters for HySpeed. ■ If the end user operates a manual standoff system, set standoff to heights indicated in HySpeed cut charts ■ Check kerf width compensation values to those cited in cut chart
Technical support If an end user has a qualified cutting installation able to handle the speeds associated with the new process and is able to successfully adjust their system to the cutting parameters set forth in the HySpeed cut charts, the transition to the new technology should be successful and high speed cutting with excellent cut quality should result. In the event that the customer does not see these positive results, please contact an authorized Hypertherm service representative.
■ In Test Preflow mode: • N2 pressure gauge must read 120 psig • O2 pressure gauge must read 120 psig or higher; no need to adjust if the reading is at least 120 psig. • N2/Air flow meter ball must be set to 38% • O2 flow meter ball must be set to 12% www.hypertherm.com Hypertherm, HySpeed, HT and Coaxial-assist are trademarks of Hypertherm, Inc. and may be registered in the United States and/or other countries. © 4/03 Hypertherm, Inc. 891040

AISC Offers Online Connection Seminar
OSA Booth Steels the Show
AISC is offering a new online connection design seminar, so users can log-on, listen and learn at their own pace and their own computer. The seminar, “Fundamentals of Connection Design,” was developed by Thomas M. Murray, P.E., Ph.D. along with AISC’s continuing education staff. It was created to provide an understanding of the behavior, design philosophy and design requirements for common connections in building design projects. The seminar is practice-oriented and focuses on information engineers need to design connections or evaluate the connections shown in submittals, in both LRFD and ASD. More than 1,300 engineers attended the original seminar in 20012002.
Members of the Ohio Structural Steel and Architectural Metals Association (OSA) teamed up this year to create a new booth for the Central Ohio Construction Expo-one that would steel the show..
Other topics include shear, moment and bracing connections, and connections for tension and compression. The seminar also features problem sets for engineers and a printable slide presentation for further study.
“We wanted our booth to have a fresh new look to create interest and awareness of the benefits of steel and steel coatings for construction applications,” said Larry Roland of Engineered Products, Inc., in Columbus, OH.
To access the seminar, visit: www.aisc.org/online seminars.htm. The seminar is offered on both broadband and 56K data connections, with an introductory cost of $100 for AISC members and $150 for
