Re: 040 - Staircase Base Fixings
The note regarding notching the top flange for access if plate extensions are not acceptable is a way to limit any potential trip hazard.

Wifes gone missing

Allowable Axial Load in Purlins
I recently had to prove a roof with bracing missing at one end was acceptable to BS5950. The loads were small so it only required the purlins to take a nominal amount of wind load down the roof to the braced bay at the other end.
