Technical Guidance Note (Level 2, No. 10): Design of reinforced concrete walls

This note covers the inspection of structural elements typically present within buildings during their construction and/or alteration phases.

Base plates are the primary means by which steel-framed structures transmit vertical loads into their foundations.
