Steel Building Design: Design Data (Explanatory Notes updated, December 2010)

This publication presents design data derived in accordance with the following Parts of Eurocode 3 and their National Annexes:
 BS EN 1993-1-1:2005: Design of steel structures. Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings.
 BS EN 1993-1-5:2006: Design of steel structures. Part 1-5: Plated structural elements.
 BS EN 1993-1-8:2005: Design of steel structures. Part 1-8: Design of joints.
 Where these Parts do not give all the necessary expressions for the evaluation of data,
reference is made to other published sources.
The resistances in this publication have been calculated using the partial factors for resistance given in the UK National Annexes for the Eurocodes (NA to BS EN 1993-1-1:2005 as published in December 2008, NA to BS EN 1993-1-5:2006 as published in May 2008 and NA to BS EN 1993- 1-8:2005 as published in November 2008). The partial factors are listed in Section 5.1. The other parameters given in the National Annex that have been used when calculating member resistances are given in the relevant section of this publication. The following structural sections are covered in this publication:
Universal beams, universal columns, joists, bearing piles, parallel flange channels and structural tees cut from universal beams and universal columns to BS 4-1
Universal beams and universal columns produced by Tata Steel* but not included in BS 4-1
Asymmetric Slimflor® beams (ASB) produced by Tata Steel*
Equal and unequal angles to BS EN 10056-1
Hot-finished structural hollow sections to BS EN 10210-2
Cold-formed structural hollow sections to BS EN 10219-2
Section ranges listed cover sections that are readily available at the time of printing.
The preparation and editorial work for this Edition was carried out by Miss E Nunez Moreno and Mr E Yandzio, both of the SCI, with technical assistance from Mr A S Malik of the SCI and Mr C M King, formerly of the SCI. The project was coordinated by Mr D G Brown, also of the SCI.
The work leading to this publication has been jointly funded by Tata Steel*, SCI and BCSA and their support is gratefully acknowledged. This publication presents design data in tabular formats as assistance to engineers who are designing buildings in accordance with BS EN 1993-1-1: 2005[1], BS EN 1993-1-5: 2006[1] and BS EN 1993-1-8: 2005[1], and their respective National Annexes. Where these Parts do not give all the necessary expressions for the evaluation of data, reference is made to other published sources. The symbols used are generally the same as those in these standards or the referred product standards. Where a symbol does not appear in the standards, a symbol has been chosen following the designation convention as closely as possible.

Fundamentals of Building Construction: Materials and Methods

Now in its Fifth Edition, this essential textbook has been used by thousands of students annually in schools of architecture, engineering, and construction technology. The bestselling reference focuses on the basic materials and methods used in building construction, emphasizing common construction systems such as light wood frames, masonry bearing walls, steel frames, and reinforced concrete. New introductory material on the processes, organization, constraints, and choices in construction offers a better look at the management of construction. New sections covering the building envelope uncover the secrets to designing enclosures for thermal insulation, vapor retarders, air barriers, and moisture control. The Fifth Edition also features more axonometric detail drawings and revised photographs for a thoroughly illustrated approach and the latest IBC 2006, CSI MasterFormat, ASTM references, and LEED information.
