Abstract

Provides guidance on the design of single and multi-storey building structures using structural steelwork. Structures designed in accordance with this Manual will normally comply with BS 5950-1:2000 as amended to March 2008. The range of structures covered by the Manual are braced multi-storey structures that do not rely on bending resistance of columns for their overall stability, and are classified as non-sway; as well as single-storey structures using portal frames or posts and lattice trusses. The Manual provides guidance on structural form, framing and bracing including advice on the selection of floors, roofing and cladding systems, and advice on fire and corrosion protection; together with step-by-step procedures for designing the different types of structure and structural elements including verification of robustness and design of connections.
