The guide focuses on the detailed design of buildings that use steel bracing or concrete cores to resist horizontal actions and provide horizontal stability.  \nThe objective of this document is to introduce the basic concepts of multi-storey form of construction, commonly referred to as ‘simple construction’ and to provide guidance on practical aspects of building design.  \nIt provides detailed guidance on how to design for stability, and goes on to give advice on the global analysis of multi-storey buildings.  \nIt also covers the serviceability and ultimate limit state requirements of EN 1993 and EN 1994 and provides guidance on design for robustness to meet the requirements of EN 1991-1-7.  \nIt includes six worked examples, covering common element","cbCaiixVR0kOf0lZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiixVR0kOf0lZ","pdf",1057003,111,"English","# FOREWORD\n# SUMMARY\n# 1 INTRODUCTION\n## 1.1 General\n## 1.2 Scope of this document\n# 2 BASIC CONCEPTS\n## 2.1 Introduction\n## 2.2 Simple construction\n## 2.3 Sway and non-sway frames\n## 2.4 Second order effects\n## 2.5 General design procedure\n## 2.6 Design of steel bracing systems\n## 2.7 The effects of imperfections\n## 2.8 Design summary\n# 3 PRACTICAL GLOBAL ANALYSIS FOR ‘SIMPLE CONSTRUCTION’\n## 3.1 Introduction\n## 3.2 Actions and their combinations\n## 3.3 Analysis for gravity loads\n## 3.4 Allowance for second order effects\n## 3.5 Design Summary\n# 4 SERVICEABILITY LIMIT STATE\n## 4.1 General\n## 4.2 Load combinations\n## 4.3 Horizontal deflection limits\n## 4.4 Vertical deflection limits\n## 4.5 Precambering\n## 4.6 Dynamic response\n## 4.7 Design summary\n# 5 ULTIMATE LIMIT STATE\n## 5.1 Introduction\n## 5.2 Floor systems\n## 5.3 Columns\n## 5.4 Vertical bracing\n## 5.5 Horizontal bracing\n## 5.6 Design summary\n# 6 ROBUSTNESS\n## 6.1 Accidental design situations\n## 6.2 Consequence classes\n## 6.3 Design for localised failure\n## 6.4 Key elements\n## 6.5 Risk assessment\n## 6.6 Design summary\n# APPENDIX A WORKED EXAMPLES\n## A.1 Worked Example – Simply supported, laterally unrestrained beam","[{\"question\":\"What is “simple construction” in this design guide?\",\"answer\":\"It refers to a construction approach where the medium-rise frame is arranged so that sway stability effects have no significant impact on the floor plan or overall structural form, typically associated with frames where resistance to horizontal loads is not critically dependent on explicit sway stability checks.\"},{\"question\":\"Which design stages and limit states are covered in Part 4?\",\"answer\":\"The guide includes guidance for global analysis and provides design checks at the Serviceability Limit State (SLS) and the Ultimate Limit State (ULS), including requirements for floor systems, columns, and vertical and horizontal bracing.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the guide address robustness and accidental loading?\",\"answer\":\"It provides robustness design guidance to resist both specified and unspecified accidental loads, including accidental design situations, consequence classes, and risk assessment in line with EN 1991-1-7.\"}]","STEEL BUILDINGS IN EUROPE - Multi-Storey Steel Buildings Part 4 - Detailed Design | PDF",1792820715,280]
