Preface As a student or graduate engineer it is difficult to source basic design data. Having been unable to find a compact book containing this information, I decided to compile my own after seeing a pocket book for architects. I realised that a Structural Engineer’s Pocket Book might be useful for other engineers and construction industry professionals. My aim has been to gather useful facts and figures for use in preliminary design in the office, on site or in the IStructE Part 3 exam, based on UK conventions. The book is not intended as a textbook; there are no worked examples and the information is not prescriptive. Design methods from British Standards have been included and summarized, but obviously these are not the only way of proving structural adequacy. Preliminary sizing and shortcuts are intended to give the engineer a ’feel’ for the structure before beginning design calculations. All of the data should be used in context, using engineering judgement and current good practice. Where no reference is given, the information has been compiled from several different sources. Despite my best efforts, there may be some errors and omissions. I would be interested to receive any comments, corrections or suggestions on the content of the book by email at
[email protected]. Obviously, it has been difficult to decide what information can be included and still keep the book a compact size. Therefore any proposals for additional material should be accompanied by a proposal for an omission of roughly the same size – the reader should then appreciate the many dilemmas that I have had during the preparation of the book! If there is an opportunity for a second edition, I will attempt to accommodate any suggestions which are sent to me and I hope that you find the Structural Engineer’s Pocket Book useful. Fiona Cobb

Structural form, stability and robustness Structural form It is worth trying to remember the different structural forms when developing a scheme design. A particular structural form might fit the vision for the form of the building. Force or moment diagrams might suggest a building shape. The following diagrams of structural form are intended as useful reminders:

Structural Engineer’s Pocket Book
Stability Stability of a structure must be achieved in two orthogonal directions. Circular structures should also be checked for rotational failure. The positions of movement and/or acoustic joints should be considered and each part of the structure should be designed to be independently stable and robust. Lateral loads can be transferred across the structure and/or down to the foundations by using any of the following methods:
. Cross bracing which carries the lateral forces as axial load in diagonal members. . Diaphragm action of floors or walls which carry the forces by panel/plate/shear action. . Frame action with ‘fixed’ connections between members and ‘pinned’ connections at the supports.
. Vertical cantilever columns with ‘fixed’ connections at the foundations. . Buttressing with diaphragm, chevron or fin walls. Stability members must be located on the plan so that their shear centre is aligned with the resultant of the overturning forces. If an eccentricity cannot be avoided, the stability members should be designed to resist the resulting torsion across the plan.
Robustness and disproportionate collapse All structural elements should be effectively tied together in each of the two orthogonal directions, both horizontally and vertically. This is generally achieved by specifying connections in steel buildings as being of certain minimum size, by ensuring that reinforced concrete junctions contain a minimum area of steel bars and by using steel straps to connect walls and floors in masonry structures. It is important to consider robustness requirements early in the design process. The Building Regulations require buildings of five or more storeys (excluding the roof) to be designed for disproportionate collapse. This is intended to ensure that accidental damage to elements of the building structure cannot cause the collapse of a disproportionately large area of a building. The disproportionate collapse requirement for public buildings with a roof span of more than 9 m appears to have been removed from the regulations. Typically the Building Regulations require that any collapse caused by the failure of a single structural element should be limited to an area of 70 m2 or 15% of any storey area (whichever is the lesser). Alternatively the designer can strengthen the structure to withstand the ‘failure’ of certain structural supports in order to prevent disproportionate collapse. In some circumstances the structure cannot be arranged to avoid the occurrence of ‘key elements’, which support disproportionately large areas of the building. These ‘key elements’ must be designed as protected members (to the code of practice for the relevant structural material) to provide extra robustness and damage resistance.

Structural movement joints Joints should be provided to control temperature, moisture, acoustic and ground movements. Movement joints can be difficult to waterproof and detail and therefore should be kept to a minimum. The positions of movement joints should be considered for their effect on the overall stability of the structure.
Primary movement joints Primary movement joints are required to prevent cracking where buildings (or parts of buildings) are large, where a building spans different ground conditions, changes height considerably or where the shape suggests a point of natural weakness. Without detailed calculation, joints should be detailed to permit 15–25 mm movement. Advice on joint spacing for different building types can be variable and conflicting. The following figures are some approximate guidelines based on the building type:
Concrete
25 m (e.g. for roofs with large thermal differentials)– 50 m c /c.
Steel industrial buildings
100 m typical–150 m maximum c /c.
Steel commercial buildings
50 m typical–100 m maximum c /c.
Masonry
40 m–50 m c /c.
Secondary movement joints Secondary movement joints are used to divide structural elements into smaller elements to deal with the local effects of temperature and moisture content. Typical joint spacings are: Clay bricks
Up to 12 m c/c on plan (6 m from corners) and 9 m vertically or every three storeys if the building is greater than 12 m or four storeys tall.
Concrete blocks
3 m–7 m c/c.
Hardstanding
70 m c/c.
Steel roof sheeting
20 m c/c down the slope, no limit along the slope.

Fire resistance periods for structural elements Fire resistance of structure is required to maintain structural integrity to allow time for the building to be evacuated. Generally, roofs do not require protection. Architects typically specify fire protection in consultation with the engineer. Building types
Minimum period of fire resistance minutes Basement storey including floor over
Ground or upper storey
Depth of a lowest basement
Height of top floor above ground, in a building or separated part of a building

Minimum imposed floor loads The following table from BS 6399: Part 1 gives the normally accepted minimum floor loadings. Clients can consider sensible reductions in these loads if it will not compromise future flexibility. A survey by Arup found that office loadings very rarely even exceed the values quoted for domestic properties. The gross live load on columns and/or foundations from sections A to D in the table, can be reduced in relation to the number of floors or floor area carried to BS 6399: Part 1. Live load reductions are not permitted for loads from storage and/or plant, or where exact live loadings have been calculated. Type of activity/occupancy for part of the building or structure

NOTES: 1. Communal areas in blocks of flats with limited use refers to blocks of flats not more than three storeys in height and with not more than four selfcontained dwelling units per floor accessible from one staircase. 2. Where these same areas may be subjected to loads due to physical activities or overcrowding, e.g. a hotel dining room used as a dance floor, imposed loads should be based on occupancy C4 or C% as appropriate. Reference should also be made to Clause 9. 3. Fixed seating is seating where its removal and use of the space for other purposes is improbable. 4. Museums, galleries and exhibition spaces often need more capacity than this, sometimes up to 10 kN/m2.

Wind loading BS 6399: Part 2 gives methods for determining the peak gust wind loads on buildings and their components. Structures susceptible to dynamic excitation fall outside the scope of the guidelines. While BS 6399 in theory allows for a very site-specific study of the many design parameters, it does mean that grossly conservative values can be calculated if the ‘path of least resistance’ is taken through the code. Unless the engineer is prepared to work hard and has a preferred ‘end result’ to aim for, the values from BS 6399 tend to be larger than those obtained from the now withdrawn wind code CP3: Chapter V: Part 2. As wind loading relates to the size and shape of the building, the size and spacing of surrounding structures, altitude and proximity to the sea or open stretches of country, it is difficult to summarize the design methods. The following dynamic pressure values have been calculated (on a whole building basis) for an imaginary building 20 m 20 m in plan and 10 m tall (with equal exposure conditions and no dominant openings) in different UK locations. The following values should not be taken as prescriptive, but as an idea of an ‘end result’ to aim for. Taller structures will tend to have slightly higher values and where buildings are close together, funnelling should be considered. Small buildings located near the bases of significantly taller buildings are unlikely to be sheltered as the wind speeds around the bases of tall buildings tends to increase.

Transportation Although the transport of components is not usually the final responsibility of the design engineer, it is important to consider the limitations of the available modes of transport early in the design process using Department for Transport (DfT) information. Specific cargo handlers should be consulted for comment on sea and air transport, but a typical shipping container is 2.4 m wide, 2.4–2.9 m high and can be 6 m, 9 m, 12 m or 13.7 m in length. Transportation of items which are likely to exceed 20 m by 4 m should be very carefully investigated. Private estates may have additional and more onerous limitations on deliveries and transportation. Typical road and rail limitations are listed below as the most common form of UK transport, but the relevant authorities should be contacted to confirm the requirements for specific projects.
Rail transportation Railtrack can carry freight in shipping containers or on flat bed wagons. The maximum load on a four axle flat wagon is 66 tonnes. The maximum height of a load is 3.9 m above the rails and wagons are generally between 1.4 and 1.8 m high. All special requirements should be discussed with Railtrack Freight or Network Rail.
Road transport The four main elements of legislation which cover the statutory controls on length, width, marking, lighting and police notification for large loads are the Motor Vehicles (Construction & Use) Regulations 1986; the Motor Vehicles (Authorization of Special Types) General Order 1979, the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989 and the Road Traffic Act 1972. A summary of the requirements is set out below.
Height of load There is no statutory limit governing the overall height of a load; however, where possible it should not exceed 4.95 m from the road surface to maximize use of the motorway and trunk road network (where the average truck flat bed is about 1.7 m). Local highway authorities should be contacted for guidance on proposed routes avoiding head height restrictions on minor roads for heights exceeding 3.0 m–3.6 m.

Temporary works toolkit Steel trench prop load capacities Better known as ‘Acrow’ props, these adjustable props should conform to BS 4704 or BS EN 1065. Verticality of the loads greatly affects the prop capacity and fork heads can be used to eliminate eccentricities. Props exhibiting any of the following defects should not be used:
. . . . .
A tube with a bend, crease or noticeable lack of straightness. A tube with more than superficial corrosion. A bent head or base plate. An incorrect or damaged pin. A pin not properly attached to the prop by the correct chain or wire.

*The props are normally identified by their length.
Steel trench prop load capacities A prop will carry its maximum safe load when it is plumb and concentrically loaded as shown in the charts in BS 4074. A reduced safe working load should be used for concentric loading with an eccentricity, e 1.5 out of plumb as follows:

Design Data
Soldiers Slim soldiers, also known as slimshors, can be used horizontally and vertically and have more load capacity than steel trench props. Lengths of 0.36 m, 0.54 m, 0.72 m, 0.9 m, 1.8 m, 2.7 m or 3.6 m are available. Longer units can be made by joining smaller sections together. A connection between units with four M12 bolts will have a working moment capacity of about 12 kNm, which can be increased to 20 kNm if stiffeners are used.

Slimshor moment capacity Source: RMD Kwikform (2002).
Ladder beams Used to span horizontally in scaffolding or platforms, ladder beams are made in 48.3f 3.2 CHS, 305 mm deep, with rungs at 305 mm centres. All junctions are saddle welded. Ladder beams can be fully integrated with scaffold fittings. Bracing of both the top and bottom chords is required to prevent buckling. Standard lengths are 3.353 m (110 ), 4.877 m (160 ) and 6.400 m (210 ). Manufacturers should be contacted for loading information. However, if the tension chord is tied at 1.5 m centres and the compression chord is braced at 1.8 m centres the moment capacity for working loads is about 8.5 kNm. If the compression chord bracing is reduced to 1.5 m centres, the moment capacity will be increased to about 12.5 kNm. The maximum allowable shear is about 12 kN.
Unit beams Unit beams are normally about 615 mm deep, are about 2Z.5 times stronger than ladder beams and are arranged in a similar way to a warren girder. Loads should only be applied at the node points. May be used to span between scaffolding towers or as a framework for temporary buildings. As with ladder beams, bracing of both the top and bottom chords is required to prevent buckling, but diagonal plan bracing should be provided to the compression flange. Units can be joined together with M24 bolts to make longer length beams. Standard lengths are 1.8 m (60 ), 2.7 m (90 ) and 3.6 m (120 ) Manufacturers should be contacted for loading information. However, if the tension chord is tied at 3.6 m centres and the compression chord is braced at 2.4 m centres the moment capacity for working loads is about 13.5 kNm. If the compression bracing is reduced to 1.2 m centres, the moment capacity will be increased to about 27.5 kNm. The maximum allowable shear is about 14 kN.

9 Structural Steel The method of heating iron ore in a charcoal fire determines the amount of carbon in the iron alloy. The following three iron ore products contain differing amounts of carbon: cast iron, wrought iron and steel. Cast iron involves the heat treatment of iron castings and was developed as part of the industrial revolution between 1800 and 1900. It has a high carbon content and is therefore quite brittle which means that it has a much greater strength in compression than in tension. Typical allowable working stresses were 23 N/mm2 tension, 123 N/mm2 compression and 30 N/mm2 shear. Wrought iron has relatively uniform properties and, between the 1840s and 1900, wrought iron took over from cast iron for structural use, until it was in turn superseded by mild steel. Typical allowable working stresses were 81 N/mm2 tension, 61 N/mm2 compression and 77 N/mm2 shear. ’Steel’ can cover many different alloys of iron, carbon and other alloying elements to alter the properties of the alloys. The steel can be formed into structural sections by casting, hot rolling or cold rolling. Mild steel which is now mostly used for structural work was first introduced in the mid-nineteenth century.
Types of steel products Cast steel Castings are generally used for complex or non-standard structural components. The casting shape and moulding process must be carefully controlled to limit residual stresses. Sand casting is a very common method, but the lost wax method is generally used where a very fine surface finish is required.
Cold rolled Cold rolling is commonly used for lightweight sections, such as purlins and wind posts, etc. Work hardening and residual stresses caused by the cold working cause an increase in the yield strength but this is at the expense of ductility and toughness. Cold rolled steel cannot be designed using the same method as hot rolled steel and design methods are given in BS 5950: Part 5.
Hot rolled steel Most steel in the UK is produced by continuous casting where ingots or slabs are pre-heated to about 1300 C and the working temperatures fall as processing continues through the intermediate stages. The total amount of rolling work and the finishing temperatures are controlled to keep the steel grain size fine – which gives a good combination of strength and toughness. Although hollow sections (RHS, CHS and SHS) are often cold bent into shape, they tend to be hot finished and are considered ‘hot rolled’ for design purposes. This pocket book deals only with hot rolled steel.

Examples of minimum bend radii for selected steel sections The minimum radius to which any section can be curved depends on its metallurgical properties, particularly its ductility, cross sectional geometry and end use (the latter determines the standard required for the appearance of the work). It is therefore not realistic to provide a definitive list of the radii to which every section can be curved due to the wide number of end uses, but a selection of examples is possible. Normal bending tolerances are about 8 mm on the radius. In cold rolling the steel is deformed in the yield stress range and therefore becomes work hardened and displays different mechanical properties (notably a loss of ductility). However, if the section is designed to be working in the elastic range there is generally no significant difference to its performance.

Slenderness Slenderness and elastic buckling The slenderness () of a structural element indicates how much load the element can carry in compression. Short stocky elements have low values of slenderness and are likely to fail by crushing, while elements with high slenderness values will fail by elastic (reversible) buckling. Slender columns will buckle when the axial compression reaches the critical load. Slender beams will buckle when the compressive stress causes the compression flange to buckle and twist sideways. This is called Lateral Torsional Buckling and it can be avoided (and the load capacity of the beam increased) by restraining the compression flange at intervals or over its full length. Full lateral restraint can be assumed if the construction fixed to the compression flange is capable of resisting a force of not less than 2.5% of the maximum force in that flange distributed uniformly along its length.
Slenderness limits Slenderness, ¼ Le =r where Le is the effective length and r is the radius of gyration – generally about the weaker axis. For robustness, members should be selected so that their slenderness does not exceed the following limits: Members resisting load other than wind
180
Members resisting self-weight and wind only
250
Members normally acting as ties but subject to load reversal due to wind

Durability and fire resistance Corrosion mechanism and protection 4Fe þ 3O2 þ 2H2O ¼ 2Fe2O3 . H2O Iron/Steel þ Oxygen þ Water ¼ Rust For corrosion of steel to take place, oxygen and water must both be present. The corrosion rate is affected by the atmospheric pollution and the length of time the steelwork remains wet. Sulphates (typically from industrial pollution) and chlorides (typically in marine environments – coastal is considered to be a 2 km strip around the coast in the UK) can accelerate the corrosion rate. All corrosion occurs at the anode (ve where electrons are lost) and the products of corrosion are deposited at the cathode (þve where the electrons are gained). Both anodic and cathodic areas can be present on a steel surface. The following factors should be considered in relation to the durability of a structure: the environment, degree of exposure, shape of the members, structural detailing, protective measures and whether inspection and maintenance are possible. Bi-metallic corrosion should also be considered in damp conditions.
Durability exposure conditions Corrosive environments are classified by BS EN ISO 12944: Part 2 and ISO 9223, and the corrosivity of the environment must be assessed for each project. Corrosivity category and risk
Examples of typical environments in a temperate climate* Exterior
Interior
C1 – Very low
–
Heated buildings with clean atmospheres, e.g. offices, shops, schools, hotels, etc. (theoretically no protection is needed)
C2 – Low
Atmospheres with low levels of pollution. Mostly rural areas
Unheated buildings where condensation may occur, e.g. depots and sports halls
C3 – Medium
Urban and industrial atmospheres with moderate sulphur dioxide pollution. Coastal areas with low salinity
Production rooms with high humidity and some air pollution, e.g. food processing plants, laundries, breweries, dairies, etc.
C4 – High
Industrial areas and coastal areas with moderate salinity
Chemical plants, swimming pools, coastal ship and boatyards
C5I – Very high (industrial)
Industrial areas with high humidity and aggressive atmosphere
Buildings or areas with almost permanent condensation and high pollution
C5M – Very high (marine)
Coastal and offshore areas with high salinity
Buildings or areas with almost permanent condensation and high pollution
* A hot and humid climate increases the corrosion rate and steel will require additional protection than in a temperate climate.
BS EN ISO 12944: Part 3 gives advice on steelwork detailing to avoid crevices where moisture and dirt can be caught and accelerate corrosion. Some acidic timbers should be isolated from steelwork. Get advice for each project: Corus can give advice on all steelwork coatings. The Galvanizers’ Association, Metal Sprayers Association and paint manufacturers also give advice on system specifications.

Methods of corrosion protection A corrosion protection system should consist of good surface preparation and application of a suitable coating with the required durability and minimum cost.
Mild steel surface preparation to BS EN ISO 8501 Hot rolled structural steelwork (in mild steel) leaves the last rolling process at about 1000 C. As it cools, its surface reacts with the air to form a blue-grey coating called mill scale, which is unstable, will allow rusting of the steel and will cause problems with the adhesion of protective coatings. The steel must be degreased to ensure that any contaminants which might affect the coatings are removed. The mill scale can then be removed by abrasive blast cleaning. Typical blast cleaning surface grades are: Sa 1 Sa 2 Sa 21/2 Sa 3
Light blast cleaning Thorough blast cleaning Very thorough blast cleaning Blast cleaning to visually clean steel
Sa 21/2 is used for most structural steel. Sa 3 is often used for surface preparation for metal spray coatings. Metallic and non-metallic particles can be used to blast clean the steel surface. Chilled angular metallic grit (usually grade G24) provides a rougher surface than round metallic shot, so that the coatings have better adhesion to the steel surface. Acid pickling is often used after blast cleaning to Sa 21/2 to remove final traces of mill scale before galvanizing. Coatings must be applied very quickly after the surface preparation to avoid rust reforming and the requirement for reblasting.
Paint coatings for structural steel Paint provides a barrier coating to prevent corrosion and is made up of pigment (for colour and protection), binder (for formation of the coating film) and solvent (to allow application of the paint before it evaporates and the paint hardens). When first applied, the paint forms a wet film thickness which can be measured and the dry film thickness (DFT – which is normally the specified element) can be predicted when the percentage volume of solids in the paint is known. Primers are normally classified on their protective pigment (e.g. zinc phosphate primer). Intermediate (which build the coating thickness) and finish coats are usually classified on their binders (e.g. epoxies, vinyls, urethanes, etc.). Shop primers (with a DFT of 15–25 mm) can be applied before fabrication but these only provide a couple of weeks’ worth of protection. Zinc rich primers generally perform best. Application of paint can be by brush, roller, air spray and airless spray – the latter is the most common in the UK. Application can be done on site or in the shop and where the steel is to be exposed, the method of application should be chosen for practicality and the surface finish. Shop applied coatings tend to need touching up on site if they are damaged in transit.
244
Structural Engineer’s Pocket Book
Metallic coatings for structural steel De-greased, blast cleaned (generally Sa 21/2) and then acid pickled steel is dipped into a flux agent and then into a bath of molten zinc. The zinc reacts with the surface of the steel, forming alloys and as the steel is lifted out a layer of pure zinc is deposited on outer surface of the alloys. The zinc coating is chemically bonded to the steel and is sacrificial. The Galvanizers’ Association can provide details of galvanizing baths around the country, but the average bath size is about 10 m long 1.2 m wide 2 m deep. The largest baths available in 2002 in the UK are 21 m 1.5 m 2.4 m and 7.6 m 2.1 m 3 m. The heat can cause distortions in fabricated, asymmetric or welded elements. Galvanizing is typically 85–140 mm thick and should be carried out to BS EN ISO 1461 and 14713. Paint coatings can be applied on top of the galvanizing for aesthetic or durability reasons and an etch primer is normally required to ensure that the paint properly adheres to the galvanizing.
Hot dip galvanizing
Thermal spray
Degreased and blast cleaned (generally Sa 3) steel is sprayed with molten particles of aluminium or zinc. The coating is particulate and the pores normally need to be sealed with an organic sealant in order to prevent rust staining. Metal sprayed coatings are mechanically bonded to the steel and work partly by anodic protection and partly by barrier protection. There are no limits on the size of elements which can be coated and there are no distortion problems. Thermal spray is typically 150–200 mm thick in aluminium, 100–150 mm thick in zinc and should be carried out to BS EN 22063 and BS EN ISO 14713. Paint coatings can be applied for aesthetic or durability reasons. Bi-metallic corrosion issues should be considered when selecting fixings for aluminium sprayed elements in damp or external environments.
Weathering steel Weathering steels are high strength, low alloy, weldable structural steels which form a protective rust coating in air that reaches a critical level within 2–5 years and prevents further corrosion. Cor-ten is the Corus proprietary brand of weathering steel, which has material properties comparable to S355, but the relevant material standard is BS EN 10 155. To optimize the use of weathering steel, avoid contact with absorbent surfaces (e.g. concrete), prolonged wetting (e.g. north faces of buildings in the UK), burial in soils, contact with dissimilar metals and exposure to aggressive environments. Even if these conditions are met, rust staining can still affect adjacent materials during the first few years. Weathering bolts (ASTM A325, Type 3 or Cor-ten X) must be used for bolted connections. Standard black bolts should not be used as the zinc coating will be quickly consumed and the fastener corroded. Normal welding techniques can be used.
Stainless steel Stainless steel is the most corrosion resistant of all the steels due to the presence of chromium in its alloys. The surface of the steel forms a self-healing invisible oxide layer which prevents ongoing corrosion and so the surface must be kept clean and exposed to provide the oxygen required to maintain the corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is resistant to most things, but special precautions should be taken in chlorinated environments. Alloying elements are added in different percentages to alter the durability properties: SS 304
18% Cr, 10% Ni
Used for general cladding, brick support angles, etc.
SS 409
11% Cr
Sometimes used for lintels
SS 316

Steel design to BS 5950 BS 5950: Part 1 was written to allow designers to reduce conservatism in steel design. The resulting choice and complication of the available design methods has meant that sections are mainly designed using software or the SCI Blue Book. As the code is very detailed, the information about BS 5950 has been significantly summarized – covering only grade S275 steelwork and using the code’s conservative design methods.

Generally it is more economic to use S275 where it is required in small quantities (less than 40 tonnes), where deflection instead of strength limits design, or for members such as nominal ties where the extra strength is not required. In other cases it is more economical to consider S355.
Ductility and steel grading In addition to the strength of the material, steel must be specified for a suitable ductility to avoid brittle fracture, which is controlled by the minimum service temperature, the thickness of steel, the steel grade, the type of detail and the stress and strain levels. Ductility is measured by the Charpy V notch test. In the UK the minimum service temperature expected to occur over the design life of the structure should be taken as 5 C for internal steelwork or 15 C for external steelwork. For steelwork in cold stores or cold climates appropriate lower temperatures should be selected. Tables 4, 5, 6 and 7 in BS 5950 give the detailed method for selection of the appropriate steel grade. Steel grading has become more important now that the UK construction industry is using more imported steel. The latest British Standard has revised the notation used to describe the grades of steel. The equivalent grades are set out below:

Section classification and local buckling Sections are classified by BS 5950 depending on how their cross section behaves under compressive load. Structural sections in thinner plate will tend to buckle locally and this reduces the overall compressive strength of the section and means that the section cannot achieve its full plastic moment capacity. Sections with tall webs tend to be slender under axial compression, while cross sections with wide out-stand flanges tend to be slender in bending. Combined bending and compression can change the classification of a cross section to slender, when that cross section might not be slender under either bending or compression when applied independently. For plastic design, the designer must therefore establish the classification of a section (for the given loading conditions) in order to select the appropriate design method from those available in BS 5950. For calculations without capacity tables or computer packages, this can mean many design iterations. BS 5950 has four types of section classification: Class 1: Class 2: Class 3: Class 4:
Plastic Cross sections with plastic hinge rotation capacity. Compact Cross sections with plastic moment capacity. Semi-compact Cross sections in which the stress at the extreme compression fibre can reach the design strength, but the plastic moment capacity cannot be developed. Slender Cross sections in which it is necessary to make explicit allowance for the effects of local buckling.
Tables 11 and 12 in BS 5950 classify different hot rolled and fabricated sections based on the limiting width to thickness ratios for each section class. None of the UB, UC, RSJ or PFC sections are slender in pure bending. Under pure axial compression, none of the UC, RSJ or PFC sections are slender, but some UB and hollow sections can be: UB SHS amd RHS (hot rolled) CHS Where D ¼ overall depth, pffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi e ¼ 275=Py .
Slender if d/t > 40e Slender if d/t > 40e Slender if D/t > 80e2 t ¼ plate thickness, d ¼ web depth, py ¼ design strength,
For simplicity only design methods for Class 1 and 2 sections are covered in this book. Source: BS 5950: Part 1: 2000.

Moment capacity MC
The basic moment capacity (Mc) depends on the provision of full lateral restraint and the interaction of shear and bending stresses. Mc is limited to 1.2py Z to avoid irreversible deformation under serviceability loads. Full lateral restraint can be assumed if the construction fixed to the compression flange is capable of resisting not less than 2.5% of the maximum compression force in the flange, distributed uniformly along the length of the flange. Moment capacity (Mc) is generally the controlling capacity for class 1 and 2 sections in the following cases: . . . .
Bending about the minor axis. CHS, SHS or small solid circular or square bars. RHS in some cases given in clause 4.3.6.1 of BS 5950. UB, UC, RSJ, PFC, SHS or RHS if < 34 for S275 steel and < 30 for S355 steel in Class 1 and 2 sections, where ¼ LE =r
Low shear (Fv < 0.6Pv)
Mc ¼ pyS
High shear (Fv > 0.6P 2 v) Mc ¼ py (S rSn) Where ¼ 2 PFvv 1 and Sv ¼ the plastic modulus of the shear area used to calculate Pv.
Lateral torsional buckling capacity Mb
Lateral torsional buckling (LTB) occurs in tall sections or long beams in bending if not enough restraint is provided to the compression flange. Instability of the compression flange results in buckling of the beam, preventing the section from developing its full plastic capacity, Mc. The reduced bending moment capacity, Mb, depends on the slenderness of the section, LT. For Class 1 and 2 sections, LT ¼ . A simplified and conservative method of calculating Mb for rolled sections uses D=T and LT to determine an ultimate bending stress pb (from the following graph) where Mb ¼ pbSx for Class 1 and 2 sections.

This is a simplified analysis which assumes that the bolt furthest from the point of rotation carries the most load. As the connection elements are likely to be flexible, this is unlikely to be the case; however, more complicated analysis requires a computer or standard tables.

Steel design to BS 449 BS 449: Part 2 is the ‘old’ steel design code issued in 1969 but it is (with amendments) still current. The code is based on elastic bending and working stresses and is very simple to use. It is therefore invaluable for preliminary design, for simple steel elements and for checking existing structures. It is normal to compare the applied and allowable stresses. BS 449 refers to the old steel grades where Grade 43 is S275, Grade 50 is S355 and Grade 55 is S460.

Allowable stresses The allowable stresses may be exceeded by 25% where the member has to resist an increase in stress which is solely due to wind forces – provided that the stresses in the section before considering wind are within the basic allowable limits. Applied stresses are calculated using the gross elastic properties of the section, Z or A, where appropriate.

Structural Steel

Stainless steel to BS 5950 Stainless steels are a family of corrosion and heat resistant steels containing a minimum of 10.5% chromium which results in the formation of a very thin self-healing transparent skin of chromium oxide – which is described as a passive layer. Alloy proportions can be varied to produce different grades of material with differing strength and corrosion properties. The stability of the passive layer depends on the alloy composition. There are five basic groups: austenitic, ferritic, duplex, martensitic and precipitation hardened. Of these, only austenitic and Duplex are really suitable for structural use.
Austenitic Austenitic is the most widely used for structural applications and contains 17–18% chromium, 8–11% nickel and sometimes molybdenum. Austenitic stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, high ductility and can be readily cold formed or welded. Commonly used alloys are 304L (European grade 1.4301) and 316L (European grade 1.4401).
Duplex Duplex stainless steels are so named because they share the strength and corrosion resistance properties of both the austenitic and ferritic grades. They typically contain 21–26% chromium, 4–8% nickel and 0.1–4.5% molybdenum. These steels are readily weldable but are not so easily cold rolled. Duplex stainless steel is normally used where an element is under high stress in a severely corrosive environment. A commonly used alloy is Duplex 2205 (European grade 1.44062).

Ductility
Stainless steel is much tougher than mild steel and so BS 5950 does not apply any limit on the thickness of stainless steel sections as it does for mild steel.

Typical stock stainless steel sections There is no UK-based manufacturer of stainless steel and so all stainless steel sections are imported. Two importers who will send out information on the sections they produce are Valbruna and IMS Group. The sections available are limited. IMS has a larger range including hot rolled equal angles (from 20 20 3 up to 100 100 10), unequal angles (20 10 3 up to 200 100 13), I beams (80 46 up to 400 180), H beams (50 50 up to 300 300), channels (20 10 up to 400 110) and tees (20 20 3 up to 120 120 13) in 1.4301 and 1.4571. Valbruna has a smaller selection of plate, bars and angles in 1.4301 and 1.4404. Source: Nickel Development Institute (1994).

Note that this table does not apply to chlorinated environments which are very corrosive to stainless steel. Grade 304L (1.4301) can tarnish and is generally only used where aesthetics are not important; however, marine Grade 316L (1.4401) will maintain a shiny surface finish.
Corrosion mechanisms Durability can be reduced by heat treatment and welding. The surface of the steel forms a self-healing invisible oxide layer which prevents ongoing corrosion and so the surface must be kept clean and exposed to provide the oxygen required to maintain the corrosion resistance. Pitting Mostly results in the staining of architectural components and is not normally a structural problem. However, chloride attack can cause pitting which can cause cracking and eventual failure. Alloys rich in molybdenum should be used to resist chloride attack. Crevice corrosion nuts and washers.
Chloride attack and lack of oxygen in small crevices, e.g. between
Bi-metallic effects The larger the cathode, the greater the rate of attack. Mild steel bolts in a stainless steel assembly would be subject to very aggressive attack. Austenitic grades typically only react with copper to produce an unsightly white powder, with little structural effect. Prevent bi-metallic contact by using paint or tape to exclude water as well as using isolation gaskets, nylon/Teflon bushes and washers.
Fire resistance Stainless steels retain more of their strength and stiffness than mild steels in fire conditions, but typically as stainless steel structure is normally exposed, its fire resistance generally needs to be calculated as part of a fire engineered scheme.

Preliminary sizing Assume a reduced Young’s modulus depending on how heavily stressed the section will be and assume an approximate value of maximum bending stress for working loads of 130 N/mm2. A section size can then be selected for checking to BS 5950.
Stainless steel design to BS 5950: Part 1 The design is based on ultimate loads calculated on the same partial safety factors as for mild steel.

NOTES: 1. Most commonly used for structural purposes. 2. Widely used in more corrosive situations. The alloys listed in the table above are low carbon alloys which provide good corrosion resistance after welding and fabrication. As for mild steel, the element cross section must be classified to BS 5950: Part 1 in order to establish the appropriate design method. Generally this method is as given for mild steels; however, as there are few standard section shapes, the classification and design methods can be laborious.

Connections Bolted and welded connections can be used. Design data for fillet and butt welds requires detailed information about which particular welding method is to be used. The information about bolted connections is more general.
Bolted connections Requirements for stainless steel fasteners are set out in BS EN ISO 3506 which split fixings into three groups: A = Austenitic, F = Ferritic and C = Martensitic. Grade A fasteners are normally used for structural applications. Grade A2 is equivalent to Grade 304L (1.4301) with a 0.2% proof stress of 210 N/mm2 and Grade A4 is equivalent to Grade 316L (1.4401) with a 0.2% proof stress of 450 N/mm2. There are three further property classes within Grade A: 50, 70 and 80 to BS EN ISO 3506. An approximate ultimate bearing strength for connected parts can be taken as 460 N/mm2 for preliminary sizing.
