The State Theatre Centre of WA offers an iconic range of flexible spaces from an open air courtyard to the famous Health Ledger Theatre. This building faced a range of dynamic challenges from the placement, height restrictions, access and the theatre extending over 8 metres below the water table. The project received the 2011 Australia Engineers National Award for Excellence for its suite of solutions to these challenges.

The use of Glass Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars for internally reinforcing concrete structures has been growing to overcome common problems of steel reinforcement, such as corrosion. Areas for application are dominated by bridge decks where de-icing salts are used, although other applications include coastal structures or structures aiming for an extended design life.

A “green” philosophical learning point is to harness and enhance natural responses to structures as part of the design and construct approach. An original engineering design system is explored that looks to the environment to identify key responses involved in placing concrete slab foundations on reactive clay soils.
