This Part of BS 5950 has been prepared under the direction of the Civil Engineering and Building Structures Standards Policy Committee. BS 5950 15 a document combining codes of practice to cover the design, construction and fire resistance of steel structures and specifications for materials, workmanship and erection. It comprises the following Parts:
Part 1. Code of practice for design in simple and continuous construction: hot rolled sections
Part 2. Specification for materials, fabrication and erection: hot rolled sections
Part 3. Design in composite construction:
Section 3.1 Code of practice for design of simple and continuous composite beams
Section 3.2 Code of practice for design of composite columns and frames
Part 4. Code of practice for design of floors with profiled steel sheeting
Part 5. Code of practice for design of cold formed sections
Part 6. Code of practice for design of light gauge profiled sheeting
Part 7. Specification for materials and workmanship: cold formed sections and profiled sheets
Part 8. Code of practice for fire resistant design
Part 9. Code of practice for stressed skin design
This Part of SS 5950 specifies requirements for the materials, fabrication and erection, using cold formed sections, of structural steelwork in building. It also specifies requirements for profiled sheets for cladding, roof decking and flooring in buildings up to the time the product is delivered to the building site, but not for their erection on site.
The special requirements pertaining to the fabrication of curved profiled sheets are not included.
The requirements given in this Pan apply to the materials and the assembly process, but the designer needs to be aware of those items which affect the design.
