| 3. | | 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. |

| 7. | | 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. |

| 16. | | SN12 (SIGNS Feb 2007) Steel Specification | | |
| It is vitally important that the structural designer specifi es the structural steelwork correctly. The steel specifi cation must cover not only the strength grade (typically S275 or S355) but also the steel sub-grade. Specifying the correct steel sub-grade is important to ensure that any possibility of brittle fracture is avoided. The way to specify structural steel correctly is to understand the relationship between the material or steel specifi cation and the in service condition. |
| 17. | | Advisory Desk Notes - AD 296: Liquid metal assisted cracking and cold formed lightgauge ... | | |
| This note highlights how the construction press has written about the occurance of Liquid Metal Assisted Cracking (LMAC)in galvanised hot rolled and welded steel members a great deal, but seems not to have written about the occurance of LMAC in cold formed lightgaugesteel sections. This note assures designers that LMAC is not a problem with cold formed lightgaugesteel sections manufactured from strip or sheet that was galvanised prior to being formed. |

| This publication considers the connection of curtain walls to steel frames. It covers the different forms of modern cladding that are typically used with steel or composite frames in commercial or similar buildings, apart from profiled sheeting and masonry, which are not covered. Issues such as support and restraint, installation and erection, the cladding/frame interface, tolerances, loading and performance in service are discussed with respect to several generic cladding types. |
