BS 5950

From Freepedia

BS 5950 is the British Standard for the design, fabrication and erection of structural steelwork. BS 5950 replaced BS 449, which used a permissible stress approach, and uses limit state design methods. It is written for use in the UK but can be used worldwide. It is expected that the code will eventually be superseded by BS EN 1993 when Eurocodes are more widely adopted.
