BS 7543:2003 Guide to durability of buildings and building elements, products and components

Executive summary
Guidance on the durability, required and predicted service life and design life of buildings and building elements, products and components.

Abstract
This British Standard provides guidance on durability, required and predicted service life and design life of buildings and their components and/or parts. It applies primarily to new buildings and their components and/or parts rather than to alterations and repairs. It also gives guidance on presenting information on the service and design life of buildings and their components and/or parts when a detailed brief is being developed.

This standard applies to civil engineering projects involving buildings, but only partially to other civil engineering projects such as roads, bridges and dams.

This standard does not deal with many aspects of obsolescence, i.e. when buildings or parts of buildings are replaced or altered either to suit different needs and changing conditions including change of use, mandatory requirements or when new products offer better performance without a corresponding increase in cost.

EN 12063:1999 Execution of special geotechnical work - Sheet-pile walls

This standard specifies requirements, recommendations and information concerning the execution of permanent or tempory sheet pile wall structures in accordance with 2.4 of ENV 1991-1:1994 and the handling of equipment and materials. It does not give requirements and recommendations for the installation of specific parts of the structure such as ground anchorages and piles which are covered by other codes.

Lightweight Steel Framing

This publication was written to assist practicing Architects with the selection, design and detailing of wall and floor systems incorporating lightweight steel framing (LSF) members for low rise commercial and medium and high rise residential applications. It is the logical complement to the "Lightweight Steel Framing Design Manual" published in 1991 by the CSSBI as a design guide for Structural Engineers.
A general description of lightweight steel framing products is presented along with a review of the advantages of this type of construction. Building science issues are discussed and the application of these principles is illustrated in a specific way for masonry veneer steel stud systems in low-rise commercial construction. A proposal for the allocation of design and construction responsibilities on a typical LSF project is also included. Lastly, a compendium of architecturally relevant technical information is provided:
• Available structural standards, guides and research
• Air leakage data for typical air barrier materials
• Fire ratings for floor and wall assemblies
• Sound transmission class ratings for floor and wall assemblies
• Heat loss data for wall assemblies
• Durability data
• Air leakage data for various air barrier
The Guide does not provide specific information on structural design issues for masonry veneer steel stud wall systems with the exception of the overview on design deflection limits and brick tie selection in Appendix E. Designers are referred to the references in Appendix G and in particular the CSA structural design standards for more information on this topic.
