| 7. | | SN22 (SIGNS Feb 2008) Structural Fire Safety Engineering of Steel Structures | | |
| Fire safety engineering can be defined as the process of adopting a rational and scientific approach which ensures that fire precautions adopted in any situation are appropriate to the risk involved rather than accepting universal provisions which may over or underestimate the risk. Over the past twenty years, the science of fire safety engineering has advanced rapidly, especially in the UK, which can now lay claim to the services of many of the world's leading practitioners. Structural fire safety engineering has progressed significantly, helped by an extensive programme of research and development carried out by the steel construction sector. Used appropriately, a structural fire safety engineering approach can deliver significant economies in building design. |

| 12. | | SN41 (SIGNS Jan 2010) Appraisal of steel structures | | |
| When existing steel buildings are considered for change of use or alteration, or a structural survey is required for insurance purposes or after some trauma, such as a fire, appraisal and assessment will be required. For more modern structures with comprehensive drawings, and design to modern standards, this should present little difficulty. This SIGNS concentrates on older structures, which will pose more challenges. Expert advice should be sought from experienced engineers – this SIGNS presents some general guidance. |
| 13. | | SN37 (SIGNS Jul 2009) Web openings in composite beams | | |
| A common method of incorporating services within the structural depth of composite beams is by cutting circular or rectangular openings in the webs of rolled or fabricated beams, or by manufacturing cellular beams with regular circular openings. Transfer of shear at large openings is the dominant effect and gives rise to Vierendeel bending moments that are resisted by local bending of the Tee sections around the openings. For composite beams, composite action of the top Tee with the slab increases the local bending resistance, which means that larger openings can be used in comparison to steel beams. Although most beams with web openings are designed by purpose-written software, it is important to give guidance on the size and spacing of openings for use in scheme design, which is the purpose of this note. |

| 18. | | M P212: Joints in Steel Construction: Simple Connections (Reprinted September 2009) | | |
| This publication provides design guidance for structural steelwork connections for use in buildings designed by the "Simple Method" i.e. braced frames where connections carry mainly shear and axial loads only. It is in accordance with BS 5950-1:2000. Design guidance for a range of simple connections was originally published in two separate volumes entitled Joints in simple construction: Volume 1: Design Methods (P205) and Volume 2: Practical Applications (P206/92). Availability of further research has enabled this publication to include design guidance for a wider range of simple joints and, at the same time, the opportunity has been taken to combine the two volumes. The major additions to the previous publications (Volumes 1 and 2) are: inclusion of design guidance for bolted connections to hot finished structural hollow sections using Flowdrill or Hollo-Bolts; use of fin plates for deep beams; inclusion of design procedures for double lines of bolts in double angle web cleats and fin plates; improved structural integrity guidance; use of fully threaded bolts; inclusion of bracing connections; inclusion of slotted and kidney shaped holes. Comprehensive step-by-step design procedures, worked examples and capacity tables are included for double angle cleats, flexible end plates, fin plates, splices, and column base plate connections. Capacity tables have an extensive range of standard connections with shear and tying capacities tabulated in user-friendly format. REPRINTED EDITION: The capacity tables for fin plates (H27 to H30) have been amended and included in this edition. |
