<strong>Steel</strong> <strong>Designers</strong>' <strong>Manual</strong> - 6th Edition (2003)<br />

Tolerances on steel sections and plates<br />

Tolerances for plates and for each type of section are similarly given in numerous<br />

EN standards adopted as BS ENs. Details are given in BS 5950 Part 2.<br />

Ordinary bolts<br />

Bolts, nuts and washers are covered in ISO standards in three series commencing<br />

with ISO 4014, ISO 4032 and ISO 7089, that have been adopted as BS EN ISO<br />

standards.<br />

HSFG bolts<br />

A new series of standards for high-strength bolts suitable for using as preloaded<br />

fasteners in friction grip applications has been under development for some years.<br />

It is hoped these may be finalized and agreed by 2002, but this remains to be seen.<br />

Welding electrodes<br />

A range of EN standards have been developed covering all types of steel welded<br />

electrodes, using common strength grades, and adopted as BS ENs. Details are given<br />

in BS 5950-2.<br />

Fabrication and erection<br />

The rules for execution (fabrication and erection) of steel structures originally<br />

developed as part of EC3 under the aegis of the European Commission were<br />

separated from the ENV version of the design rules and became ENV 1090-1. Parts<br />

2 to 6 of ENV 1090 were subsequently added to cover cold-formed thin gauge<br />

sections and sheeting, higher strength steels, structural hollow sections, bridges and<br />

stainless steels. These are now being converted to EN status as a single EN 1090.<br />

36.4 EC4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures<br />

36.4.1 Scope and contents<br />

EC4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures 1061<br />

Eurocode 4 will come in three parts: 1.1 General rules for buildings, 1.2 Structural<br />

fire design and 2 Bridges. This section covers Part 1.1 and compares it with BS 5950<br />

Parts 3.1 and 4. It is based on the latest available draft so some details may change,
