This publication has been prepared by Mr Paul Salter and Dr Graham Couchman of The Steel Construction Institute and Professor David Anderson of the University of Warwick. The analytical work leading to the publication was carried out by Dr N Brown and Dr M Md Tahir of the University of Warwick. Valuable comments were received during the drafting from Dr R M Lawson of The Steel Construction Institute.
Current SCI publications related to the wind-moment method are:
Wind-moment design for unbraced frames (SCI P082)
Joints in steel construction: Moment connections (SCI P207, published jointly with BCSA)
Wind-moment design of unbraced composite frames (SCI P264, to be published in 2000).
This publication is effectively a replacement for publication SCI P082, which was first published in 1991. It reflects the results of more recent studies, for instance considering frames that are unbraced in both principal directions. It is limited to low rise frames in recognition of the fact that wind-moment design, although possible, is not recommended for building frames in excess of four storeys.
Part-funding from the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions under the Partners in Innovation initiative is gratefully acknowledged, as is additional funding received from Corns (formerly British Steel) Sections, Plates & Commercial Steels.
