SCI P334 Design of multi-storey braced frames

This guide was prepared for two reasons. Firstly, the introduction of BS 5950-1:2000 highlighted the need to check the sway stability of all frames, including braced frames. Whilst this was required in the 1990 version of the Standard, common practice was to ignore the check for braced frames. Frame stability checks are therefore relatively new in practice, and deserve explanation. Secondly, no complete guide existed for what is a very important form of construction in the UK – multi-storey steel-framed buildings.
Whilst the design of elements within a frame, such as beams and columns, is covered elsewhere, and is not of itself particularly challenging, a guide covering the wider aspects
of multi-storey design was considered to be a valuable addition.

This guide does not attempt to repeat exhaustive coverage on the design of elements if these are covered elsewhere, but directs the reader to the resources that already exist.
Instead, the guide offers advice on layout, floor systems and typical element sizes, so that the scheme design can be carried out with confidence.
