3 PRESIDENT S MESSAGE The Singapore Structural Steel Society continued in strength and growth through her 26 th year with a new high of 139 corporate members, 20 honourary fellows, 428 ordinary members and 71 associate members. SSSS played a crucial role in upgrading the capabilities of structural steel practitioners at both professional and supervisory levels. This is achieved though our continuous education and training programme, including the Structural Steel Supervisor (StS) and Structural Steel Engineers (StR) Courses, seminars, evening talks and site visits, organised throughout the year. To date, we have 888 steel supervisors and 380 steel engineers who have passed out the StS and StR courses. A new high of 139 corporate members, 20 honourary fellows, 428 ordinary members, 71 Associate members The self-regulatory Steel Fabrication Accreditation scheme, endorsed by BCA, boasts 102 accredited steel fabricators, and are strongly recommended by BCA to perform structural steel fabrication and erection works at construction sites. The society is actively involved in national workgroups and committees, contributing to the technical advancement of the industry. For instance, we are taking the lead in helping the industry to switch from the British Codes to Eurocodes for structural design and construction relating to steel and steel concrete composites. We have completed the Eurcode 3-4 Annexes. In a blink of an eye, I have been President of SSSS for 6 years and it is now time for me to pass the baton to the next candidate. Over the past years, I have seen the industry through recession and boom and we have weathered together and emerged stronger. I would like to thank the council for giving me the support to lead the society to what it is today. Tan Tian Chong President

7 Pacific Structural Steel Conference (PSSC) The Pacific Structural Steel Conference is a major initiative bringing together expertise in structural steel research, education and construction from the Pacific Rim and beyond to promote cooperation among the structural steel associations and communication on development in the field of steel structures. It originated in 1986 when the New Zealand Heavy Engineering Research Association organized the inaugural conference. The PSSC, held every three years, has been hosted in Australia, 1989; Japan, 1992; Singapore, 1995; Korea, 1998; China, 2001; America, 2004; New Zealand, 2007 and China, I am happy to inform that we have successfully bid to bring PSSC back to Singapore in Factory Production Certificate SSSS has posted 23 FPCs onto its website as a platform to serve the industry. The objective is to help the industry lessen hassles of individually seeking evidence of FPC. This will make it easier to use steel complying to BCA guide on the use of alternative materials to BS5950. Eurocode 3 & 4 SSSS is taking the lead in helping the industry to switch from the British Codes to Eurocodes for structural design and construction relating to steel and steel concrete composites. We have completed the Eurcode 3-4 Annexes. SSSS hopes to reproduce a copy for all members.
