Please note - item may take approximately 4 weeks for delivery.This specification deals with structural steelwork designed in accordance
with:BS 5950-1 'Structural use of steelwork in buildings:Code of practice for design: rolled and welded sections' Eurocode 3: Part 1.1 'General rules and rules for buildings' where the (DD ENV1993-1.1) references to BS 5950 in the National Application
Document are taken into account.It can be used for all types of building construction designed for static
loading. It is not intended to be used for steelwork in dynamically loaded
structures or where fatigue is a factor unless appropriate amendments are made.
The Specification describes the information to be included in a Project
Specification, and also covers materials, preparation of drawings, fabrication,
erection and the requirements for protective treatment including standard
paint coatings.Specific requirements are placed on the Steelwork Contractor and the
Employer. Other requirements are allocated to the Engineer, who may not
be directly a party to the steelwork contract, but may be engaged by the
Employer or by the Steelwork Contractor. It should also be noted that in
certain design-build contracts design responsibility is shared and in these
instances the role of Engineer will have to be redefined.This Specification should be introduced into a steelwork contract by a
Project Specification, the contents of which are described herein. The Project
Specification should also include any additions or modifications that may be
required to the National Structural Steelwork Specification by the Employer
for a particular contract when the form behaviour or other aspects of the
structure are unorthodox.
