Allowable Stress in Cold Rolled

Post by Chris Achilles »

HELP REQUIRED!

I've been going slightly mad over the last few days reading through BS5950:Part 1, Part 5 and all the BS6399 codes trying to find an old clause I'm convinced existed at some point. I've completed an inspection of an existing building and there is no load path for the gable wind other than the purlins. The stress level is around 20n/mm² which is more than the allowable 5n/mm² (I think) which was limit for ignoring the effects of nominal axial

Can anyone tell me where this 5n/mm² clause lives or lived or was I just dreaming. It may be more than 20 years ago now (getting old).

Thanks

Chris :(
