The Structural Engineer, Volume 64, Issue 5, 1986
Loads on roofs Imposed loadings on roofs is a popular topic in our column, bringing some queries from Mr C. J. Cox in January on exactly what is included in the 0.75 kN/m2 imposed loading on roofs required according to BS 6399: Part 1 : 1984. Mr C. J. Judge, of the Building Research Establishment, has now written offering us an explanation. Verulam
For the Anniversary Year 1983-84 Council decided to modernise and upgrade by redecoration and refurnishing of the entrance hall and staircase and the main meeting room on the first floor. This has transformed the impression the building makes on members and visitors and is a visible celebration of the place the Institution holds in the UK and overseas. It is the public face of the Institution.
The moment-transmitting, welded endplate connection has grown in popularity to the point where it is now believed to be the most widely used beam-to-column connection in building structures. Full utilisation of these connections depenh on a knowledge of behaviour at both ultimate and service loads. The paper attempts to establish the necessary joint characteristics using finite-element-based theoretical modelling. The theoretical results are compared with experimental observations and a limit state design method for flush endplate connections is proposed. The design data presented use a recommended standardisation of details for 'flush' and ‘extended’ endplates. W.M. Jenkins, C.S. Tong and A.T. Prescott
