CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
It is my greatest honour to be the 34th Chairman of the Joint Structural Division (JSD)
for Session 2012/2013. As said on my date of election at the last AGM, it is also my great
privilege to be inherited with a good team of distinguished structural engineers as
office bearers, and committee members. With the wonderful ground work done by our
JSD predecessors and earnest effort of our committee members, this year we have
made progress at various frontiers.
Participation of JSD in Serving the Community
The JSD has active participation in serving the community. Members are nominated to various Government bodies with
the aim to render our professional advice to the Government in different aspects and various stages of policy formulation.
JSD members also play an important role as experts in the accreditation of university programmes, training schemes, and
the assessment of application for registration as Registered Professional Engineer under the Engineers Registration Board.
Membership
During the year 2012 to 2013, we witness a rise in JSD membership of 3.33% to a total
of 6,231, including 265 Fellows and 4,107 Members.
Committee Activities
• The JSD has organized over 30 activities in the session including:
• Technical meetings, seminars and site visits covering a range of topics
• Annual Dinner
• Structural Excellence Award
• Annual General Meeting
• Annual Seminar
Major Events
Annual Dinner 2012 was successfully held on 25 October 2012 at the Holiday Inn Golden Mile Hong Kong, with a full
attendance of more than 500 members and guests. Professor Anthony Cheung Bing-leung, GBS, JP, Secretary for Transport
and Housing was guest of Honour of the evening.
Structural Excellence Award 2013, with the aim to promote excellence in structural engineering and achievement by
structural engineers, was conducted in April 2013. The Judging Panel assessed each project based on the project
submissions, site visits and presentations by the finalists on 20 April 2013. The award winners for each category will be
announced by Chairman of the Judging Panel, Ir Prof Paul PANG Tat-choi at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 9
May 2013.
Professional Recognition and Training
Written examination of the HKIE Structural Examination was successfully held in November 2012. Professional interview
was also held in June and July before admission to corporate membership under Structural Discipline of HKIE.
IStructE Matters
The Chartered Membership examination was held in Hong Kong in early April 2013 with more than 200 candidates
attending the examination.
Mr. John Nolan, the President, and Mr Martin Powell, Chief Executive of the IStructE, came to Hong Kong in December
2012 for the Presidential Visit. The President also delivered his Presidential Address to a full house audience and followed
by presentation of certificates to those newly elected Fellows and Members.
Appreciation
As said in my election at the last AGM, the success of the Joint Structural Division does not rely solely on the leadership of
the chairman and the input of office bearers and committee members, it depends very much on the active participation
and support from all fellow structural engineers. Your support will make the JSD grow and flourish and also give us
impetus to scale new heights.
Ir Gabriel Yu
JSD Chairman
Annual Visit 2013 was postponed due to the spread of H7N9 in Mainland China. The Committee agreed to reschedule the
annual visit to a later date when the situation has improved.
Annual Seminar 2013 will be held on 19 June 2013 with the theme “Contemporary Iconic Structures”. Ir S.S. Lee, GBS, JP,
Chairman of Construction Industry Council will be the Guest of Honour. Distinguished overseas and local speakers ranging
from academia to prominent professionals will share their innovative ideas and insightful experiences on structural
engineering at this engineering platform.

ISTRUCTE PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS 2012
STRUCTURAL EXCELLENCE AWARD 2013
The IStructE Presidential Visit 2012 was a lifting event of the Joint Structural Division (JSD). From 1st to 4th December
2012, Mr John Nolan, the 92nd President, and Mr Martin Powell, the Chief Executive provided us a forum for local
members to meet the President in person, to learn the latest development of the IStructE from the Chief Executive and
to exchange views for the President to better understand the matters in Hong Kong.
The Structural Excellence Award (formerly Structural Awards) aims to promote excellence in structural engineering
demonstrated through the design and construction of buildings and structures completed in the last two years. The
first award was held in 1998/1999 and this year is the 15th event. On 9 April 2013, the Judging Panel short-listed 8
finalists. Following site visits and project presentations on 20 April 2013, awards were decided with emphasis on
engineering approach, integration, innovation/unusual features, buildability, energy efficiency/environmental
consideration/sustainability and aesthetics.
The Presidential Visit began by visiting the Permanent Secretary and Senior Directorates of the Hong Kong Housing
Authority and senior members of the HKIE. In the evening of 3rd December 2012, the President delivered his
Presidential Address and presented certificates to one new fellow and over fifty new members. The event was shared
with pride and happiness by new fellow and members together with their families and senior members of the IStructE.
The Presidential Visit was concluded with the President and the Chief Executive meeting students and academics at The
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
There are two categories of entries, namely Hong Kong Projects and Mainland/Overseas Projects. Grand Award of Hong
Kong Project goes to Imperial Cullinan Hoi Fai Road (under the Residential Category, and Grand Award of
Mainland/Overseas Project goes to Flower Dome and Cloud Forest Conservatories @ Gardens by the Bay.

A luxury waterfront residential development located on reclaimed land
at Hoi Fai Road, Kowloon. The development has a site area of about
11,353m2 and 133,000 of construction floor area (CFA), consisting of
five unique towers above a 6-storey podium and a 3-storey basement.
The excavation depth of the basement was about 14m and it was
constructed by using the top down method with the requirement of
fast-track construction in mind.
Innovation and Creativity
Conventional fast track, top down basement construction method would make use of a diaphragm wall, which is an
expensive and time-consuming method to provide a lateral supporting wall and temporary/permanent water cut off.
In this project, the following innovative structure designs are implemented:
• Makes use of sheet pile walls with toe grouting and preloading struts to control the deformation and settlement of the
surrounding sensitive ground, water mains and other utilities;
• heet pile walls are normally suitable for relatively shallower strutted excavation but when combined with preloading
together and integrate with top-down temporary steel truss strutting system at the perimeter of the basement, deeper
excavation can be achieved.
• Early planning of the construction sequence; allowed the top down basement and fast-track superstructure
construction to be achieved without the use of a diaphragm wall;
• Use of passive subsoil drainage system to reduce up thrust on the basement slab;
• Uses sheet pile wall combined with toe grouting to act as a less permeable payer to greatly reduce the water inflow and
thereby lessen the water pressure exerted on the slab;
• The basement wall provides permanent water cut-off to relieve water uplift pressure exerting on the basement slab;

The Project
The site is located in heart of busiest district in Hong Kong – Wan Chai where is
predominantly characterized by old building constructed during colonial period and
modern mansion which features commercial, hotel office and international conference
and exhibition centre.
The existing Wan Chai Market was built in 1937; it was a two-storey building with a semi-basement built in International
Modern style. With the unique shape of Wan Chai Market, it was well known as an exceptional piece of the 1930s
architecture built with heritage which had come into the spotlight of the local community. There is also story revealing
that the basement of the existing market was used by the Japanese troops for their storage of corpses during the war
period.
With its social value and local interest, the existing Wan Chai Market was declared as Grade III historic building by Antique
Monument Office. For a balance between preservation and sustainable development, the developers, Urban Renewal
Authority and Dollar Union Limited and Antique Monument Office aim to preserve the unique features of the existing
Market, such as the major façade including the main entrance, curved canopy and fins and the structural form of front
portion, and construct a new residential tower over the existing Market building.
Wind Tunnel studies were carried out on the
development by RED Consultants Limited (RED).
This included topographical studies, a force balance
assessment of the structure loads and cladding
pressures, and with a compatibility assessment of
the structure between HK codes and international
standards. This enables an accurate determination
of the lateral wind load on the structures as well as
the local effects on the façade elements, of which
an economic design of the structural elements can
be achieved.

Design Concept and Approach
YMTT is the only surviving pre-war cinema building in the urban areas of Hong Kong. The scale and overall architecture of
the building are assessed to be exceptional significant in the Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) Report. The main façade,
gable walls, stage setting for the proscenium arch, interior walls, roof profile and timber purlins are all character defining
elements of high significance. The architecture of RBB is of utilitarian design and exceptional significance according to the
HIA report. The external brick wall, pitched roof of double layer Chinese tiles, brick chimney stack and flue openings are
also regarded as exceptionally significant.
Executive Summary
The Tamar Development located at the heart of the marvellous Victoria harbour front is a symbolic land-mark of Hong
Kong. Providing the public a safe and convenient access to this landmark and beautiful waterfront from Admiralty MTR
and bus stations across Harcourt Road is the Elevated Walkway (EW1) pedestrian footbridge. EW1 is the first twin
composite steel U-shape box girder constructed in Hong Kong. The box structural form provides excellent load bearing
and torsion resistance capacity with minimum structural depth utilizes the respective advantage of concrete and steel for
the most cost effective design and allows EW1 to be constructed without interrupting Harcourt Road traffic.
There are no records of structural drawings of the YMTT. A structural survey has been carried out including site
measurements, identification of significant structural defects, testing of materials and foundation investigation. Through
careful planning, good structural design, appropriate construction method and suitable stabilization works during
demolition and re-construction, all the identified elements with cultural/historic significance are preserved and the
modification works of the building satisfy the heritage conservation principles as well as current statutory requirements
and operational needs.

Located in the heart of Singapore’s downtown Marina Bay, The Gardens by the Bay is one of the largest and most advanced
projects ever undertaken in Singapore as well as an integral part of a strategy by Singapore to raise the quality of life by
enhancing greenery and flora in the city.
The Flower Dome is filled with baobabs of different species from Australia, Africa and Madagascar, various species of cacti
and succulents (desert-native plants), Chilean Wine Palm, Olive Trees, etc. The dome includes restaurants and an indoor
event space that can accommodate up to 1,000 people.
The plan dimensión of the cool dry biome is 170m x 105m and the cool moist 120m x 85m. These large enclosures need
huge amountof energy to meet the operation conditions. The environment inside the cool dry greenhouse has to be
maintained at 25°C, with a maximum relative humidity (RH) of 60% during day. This will drop to 17oC at 65% RH at night.
The night temperature may be lowered to create the “end of winter” condition. In the cool moist greenhouse, the climate
requirements are daytime 25°C at 80% RH or higher, dropping to 17°C at 80% RH at night.
Assessment of Structural Robustness and Progressive Collapse Analysis :
A study is made to assess safety and stability of the structure with damage of an arch . Design is made to ensure it will not
lead to progressive collapse.
Second Order Diect Analysis for Gemertric Nonlinear Effect :
Efective length is uncertain in this structural form and the second-order direct analysis is used to check the strength and
stability of the structure without assuming any effective length for the arch.

been serving as the link between the IStructE and the HKIE for the best interest of our
members.
CHARTERED MEMBERSHIP EXAMINATION
I am delighted to report that last year our candidates achieved a passing rate at 37.1% which is
most likely the first time above the averaged global passing rate at 35.6% of the same year. With
the assistance of our senior members, 123 Initial Professional Development Interviews were
held in the summer last year. On 9th March 2013, a half-day seminar on the Chartered
Membership Examination was conducted to provide the candidates with up-to-date
information and examination techniques. The examination was held on 5th April 2013 with
around 220 candidates. In respect of the Hong Kong Division, Ir Prof James Lau is Chief
Examiner, Ir Dr H T Cheng, Ir Dr K S Law, Ir Helen Kwan and Ir K K Kwan are Marking Examiners

Structural Division (JSD). From 1st to 4th December 2012, Mr John
Nolan, the 92nd President, and Mr Martin Powell, the Chief Executive
had provided a forum for local members to meet the President in
person, to learn the latest development of the IStructE from the Chief
Executive and to exchange views for the President to better understand
the matters in Hong Kong.
The Chief Executive
The Presidential Visit began by visiting the Permanent Secretary and Senior Directorates of the Hong Kong Housing
Authority and senior members of the HKIE. In the evening of 3rd December 2012, the President delivered his Presidential
Address and presented certificates to one new fellow and over fifty new members. The event was shared with pride and
happiness by new fellow and members together with their families and senior members of the IStructE. The Presidential

University of Science and Technology.
Final Remarks
I would like to thank the IStructE Sub-committee and
Committee Members of the Joint Structural Division
for their devotion in organizing the various
meaningful activities of the Hong Kong Division. In
particular, I would like to express my deepest
appreciation to all senior members who have
conducted the Initial Professional Development
Interviews and in particular to those delivered a very
constructive and useful talk during the half-day
seminar on the Chartered Membership Examination.
