Product Description
This Manual supports the design of structures to BS EN 1993-1-1: 2005, BS EN 1993-1-8: 2005, BS EN 1993-1-10: 2005 and the design of composite floors to BS EN 1994-1-1: 2004, all for construction in the UK. The Nationally Determined Parameters from the UK National Annex have been incorporated in the design formulae that are presented.
The range of structures covered by the Manual is limited to low to medium rise multi-storey building structures that do not rely on the bending resistance of columns for their overall stability. Single-storey structures using portal frames, posts and latticed trusses or posts and pitched roof trusses are also covered.
The Manual is similar in layout to the Institution’s earlier manuals on British
Standards and provides the following:
• guidance on structural form, framing and bracing
• advice on the selection of floors, roofing and cladding systems
• advice on deflection, thermal expansion, fire and corrosion protection
• procedures for designing the different types of structure and structural
elements including the verification of robustness and the design of
connections.
This Manual is part of a suite of manuals for the Eurocodes.
