Commentary on BS 5400-3: 2000 Code of practice for the design of steel bridges SCI PUBLICATION P295
The use of steel and composite construction for bridges is now recognised as economical over a wide range of spans and is versatile in the many forms in which it may be applied. This Commentary is one of several documents published by The Steel Construction Institute to provide guidance for the designers of steel and composite bridges. The guides are intended for practising engineers, to enable them to apply the design codes with ease.
The Commentary discusses in detail the provisions in the clauses of BS 5400-3:2000, provides background information where appropriate and comments on their practical application. The comments and discussion represent the considered opinion of experienced engineers and researchers. In some cases information about the basis of the clauses has been difficult to obtain; for such cases, the commentary presents the consensus view of the background to these clauses.
The scope of this publication is limited to those aspects of BS 5400-3: 2000 most commonly used by bridge designers. Comments are given on a clause-by-clause basis. The design of cross frames and diaphragms in box girder design (Clauses 9.16 and 9.17) is not discussed.
The Commentary is intended as a reference document to be used in conjunction with the Code. References and comparisons are made to other codes where appropriate (viz. BS 5950, BS EN 10025 and BS 153). References are given at the end of each principal Section and are referred to in the text in the form[2.3], where ‘2’ indicates Section 2 and ‘3’ is the third reference in that Section.
