| Following discussion about the build-up of tolerances in bridge steelwork and the accuracy with which the steelwork can be positioned on the substructure, the tolerances given in Version 3 of the Model Appendix 18/1 (P170) are now modified. The Note gives typical deviations between the various components, together with a brief commentary and modifications to P170. |
| 13. | | P203 National structural steelwork specification for building construction (Fifth Edition) | | |
| Popularly known as the "Black Book", this publication covers the National Structural Steelwork Specification (NSSS) for building construction. This specification, prepared by all sections of the steelwork industry, can be incorporated into all forms of contract covering the technical aspects of structural steelwork in buildings. The 5th edition is a half-way house between the 4th edition and the requirements given in the European standard B EN 109-2 which will eventually replace BS 5950-2 at the start of 2008. Some of the changes in the 5th edition include: Changes in the specifications for steel sections, structural bolts and welding since the publication of 4th edition. The introduction of BS EN ISO 3834 for the management of welding activities. A new section on Liquid Metal Assisted Cracking (LMAC). An updated section on hold times based on research by TWI. A new Annex that gives guidance on the visual inspection of welds. |

| 17. | | EP37 Best Practice in Steel Construction - Industrial Buildings | | |
| This publication presents best practice for the design of steel construction technologies used in residential buildings, and is aimed at architects and other members of the design team in the early stages of planning a residential building project. It was prepared as one of a series of three under an RFCS dissemination project Euro-Build in Steel (Project n° RFS2-CT-2007-00029). Large enclosures or industrial type buildings are very common in business parks, leisure and sports buildings. Their functionality and architectural quality are influenced by many factors, e.g. the development plan, the variety of usages and the desired quality of the building. Steel offers numerous possibilities to achieve both pleasant and flexible functional use. The two other publications in this series cover best design practice in commercial and residential buildings. |
| 18. | | EP36 Best Practice in Steel Construction - Residential Buildings | | |
| This publication presents best practice for the design of steel construction technologies used in residential buildings, and is aimed at architects and other members of the design team in the early stages of planning a residential building project. It was prepared as one of a series of three under an RFCS dissemination project Euro-Build in Steel (Project n° RFS2-CT-2007-00029). The design of housing and residential buildings is influenced by many factors, including new requirements for sustainability, and thermal and acoustic performance. The environmental need to conserve land use, whilst improving the social characteristics of the built environment, also have a direct effect on the choice of constructional system. The pressure for more efficient and sustainable construction processes to meet these challenges has led to a demand for higher degrees of prefabrication and improved quality in the performance of the chosen construction technology. The two other publications in this series cover best design practice in commercial and industrial buildings. |
| 19. | | EP35 Best Practice in Steel Construction - Commercial Buildings | | |
| This publication presents best practice for the design of steel construction technologies used in commercial buildings, and is aimed at architects and other members of the design team in the early stages of planning a commercial building project. It was prepared as one of a series of three under an RFCS dissemination project Euro-Build in Steel (Project no. RFS2-CT-2007-00029). The design of commercial buildings is strongly influenced by issues such as the ability to provide column-free floor spans, efficient circulation space, integration of building services, and the influence of the site and local access conditions on the construction process. For inner city projects, speed of construction and minimum storage of materials on-site require a high level of pre-fabrication, which steel framed systems can provide. The two other publications in this series cover best design practice in industrial and residential buildings. |
| 20. | | P346: Best practice for the specification and installation of metal cladding and secondary ... | | |
| This new publication presents guidance to designers and contractors on the specification and installation of profiled metal cladding systems and the supporting purlins and side rails. It will promote a greater understanding of the issues faced by the construction team and lead to better co operation on site and in the design office. Many of these issues have been brought to the attention of the SCI by industry representatives, whose advice and knowledge is the foundation for the guidance presented. |
