BS 5950

BS 5950 is a British standard that sets the rules and guidelines for designing and constructing steel structures, such as buildings, bridges, and frameworks. It ensures that these structures are safe, reliable, and built using consistent methods. The standard covers how to calculate the strength of steel, how to connect different parts, and how to account for loads and stresses. Essentially, it provides engineers with a trusted framework to design strong, durable steel structures that meet safety and performance requirements in the UK.
