Plan Plan: Design Procedure For Steel Frame Structures According To BS 5950

The document outlines the design procedure for steel frame structures according to British Standard BS 5950. It includes load cases for wind on long and short faces of buildings and provides a key to pressure coefficient zones for wall and flat roof designs. It also shows pressure diagrams for irregular wall designs with cut-outs, including diagrams for cut-outs with tall parts that are long or narrow and located downwind or upwind.
