This note is split into two sections; the first contains information a designer of steel elements provides, while the second contains information a fabricator creates in order to manufacture and construct the steel structure.

Introduction
This Technical Guidance Note describes how drawings for structural steelwork are developed and read. They have their own unique set of rules and nomenclature and it is important for engineers to understand all of these rules in order to communicate and interpret the design of steelwork structures.

This guide is split into two sections; the first contains the information a designer of the steel elements provides, while the second contains the information a fabricator creates in order to manufacture and construct the steel structure.

Technical Guidance Note (Level 1, No. 19): Soil bearing capacity

When designing foundations (from a simple pad footing to a pile cap) there is a need to determine the soil's bearing capacity. This note explains the principles of how this is determined, and how it impacts on foundation design.
