This British Standard has been prepared under the authority of the Road Engineering Industry Standards Committee and supersedes the 1973 edition. The main changes from that edition are in the manner in which the design loads for in filling have been specified and in the method of verifying the stresses in the members. This British Standard specifies the design, materials, const...

This revision of BS 4147 has been prepared under the direction of the Elements and Components (of Diverse Materials) for Buildings Standards Committee. BS 4147 was first published in 1967. A revised edition was published in 1973 to take account of metrication. Since 1967 much has been learned about the specification and testing of bitumen-and coal-tar-based hot-applied coatings...

This is a metric edition of the 1961 revision of this standard, which it now supersedes. It is issued under the authority of the Hardware and Ironmongery Standards Committee and, as part of BSI's programme of metrication, the values in this standard are expressed in metric terms. Nominal bores are in accordance with the recommendations prepared under Technical Committee B/94, M...

BS 449 was first issued in 1932 and was revised in December 1935, July 1937, July 1948 and May 1959. It was reset and reprinted in February 1965 incorporating amendments Nos. 1 to 5 and reprinted in October 1967 incorporating amendments Nos. 6 and 7. When a programme of Codes of Practice for Buildings was drawn up in 1942 under the aegis of the Ministry of Works, a Code of Prac...

The purpose of this British Standard is to specify a series of tests for determining those properties of building materials and structures which are relevant when considering the fire protection of buildings in which they are to be used, and by which such materials and structures may be accepted or rejected.

BS 476 was first published as a single volume in 1932. A revision was published in three parts as follows:— Part 1:1953: Fire tests on building materials and structures;— Part 2:1955: Flammability test for thin flexible materials;— Part 3:1958: External fire exposure roof test.In the present revision the three sections of Part 1, covering tests for combustibility of material...

This revision of BS 4848 : Part 2 has been prepared under the direction of the Piping Systems Components Standards Pollcy Committee. It supersedes SS 4848 : Part 2 : 1975 which is withdrawn.It is intended that BS 4848 will ultimately comprise five Parts, each Part will cover different section shapes, as follows.Part 1 Beams, columns and. tee barsPart 2 Hot-finished hollow secti...

This British Standard has been prepared under the authority of the Iron and Steel Industry Standards Committee. The adoption of a new range of metric unit based beams, columns and channels will require large capital expenditure and, if the maximum benefit is to be gained from the change, it is important that the new ranges align with the practice of other metric using countries...

BS 5400 is a document combining codes of practice to cover the design and construction of steel, concrete and composite bridges and specifications for the loads1), materials and workmanship. It is based on the principles of limit state design outlined in ISO 2394:1986 (first edition), General principles on reliability for structures. It is anticipated that BS 5400 will eventual...

This Part of this British Standard recommends methods for the fatigue assessment of parts of bridges which are subject to repeated fluctuations of stress. Standard load spectra are given for both highway and railway bridges. The following alternative methods of fatigue assessment are described for both highway and railway bridges :(a) simplified methods that are applicable to p...
