Design data for structural hollow sections
The essential aid for the design of steelwork
Comprehensive section property data is provided in this ‘blue book’ as well as tables of member resistances, which are given for both Celsius® and Hybox® structural hollow sections. This enables rapid selection of steel members in compression and bending. Tables are also provided for combined bending and compression, web resistance and shear resistance. This edition provides resistances in accordance with Eurocode 3 together with the relevant UK and German National Annexes, as well as resistances to BS 5950.
