Chapter 1 Introduction

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 This Departmental Standard replaces BD 13/82 and it contains a number of amendments to BS 5400: Part 3: 1982 which are either replacement clauses or additional to the requirements given in BD 13/82. Changes in steel grades resulting from the introduction of the new British Standard BS EN 10 025 have also been included. 1.2 The main purpose of this new Departmental Standard is to clarify a number of clauses in BS 5400: Part 3 which are either ambiguous or are creating difficulties for designers. There has been full consultation with the BSI committee CSB 59 in producing these amendments. The Department is sponsoring a study to review a number of clauses in Part 3 where changes of a more substantial technical nature may be needed. These include the D/2yt factor, patch loading on webs, bracing systems and U-frame restraints etc. It is intended that any proposed changes arising from this study would be taken on board by BSI and published as a revision to BS 5400: Part 3.

Chapter 4 Additional Departmental Requirements

4. ADDITIONAL DEPARTMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

4.1 Some clauses in BS 5400: Part 3 are expressed in a mandatory form using the word "shall", whereas some other clauses are expressed in the form of recommendations using the word "should". However, even the latter requirements shall be considered as mandatory. 4.2 Weathering Steel 4.2.1 The use of weathering steel in highway structures is covered in Departmental Standard BD 7/81. The design of structures in weathering steel shall be carried out in accordance with Part 3 and the following clauses. 4.2.2 The sectional properties to be used for global analysis (Part 3, Clause 7) shall be calculated assuming either the specified sizes or specified sizes less the allowance for any loss of thickness in accordance with BD 7/81. 4.2.3 All dimensions for checking the adequacy of sections shall be taken as the specified dimensions less the allowance for the loss of thickness in accordance with BD 7/81. 4.3 Strength of Fasteners 4.3.1 For the application of Clause 14.5.3.1, all connections which are subjected to live or wind load effects shall be considered to be "permanent main structural connections". 4.3.2 4.4 HSFG bolts to BS 4395: Part 2 shall not be used to resist applied axial tension.

Patch Loading on Webs

The formulae given in Appendix D of BS 5400: Part 3 are known to give unsafe results in some cases. In applying the code provisions for patch loading on webs, designers are advised to consult Bridges Engineering Division.

NOTE 1. All thicknesses given are for type 1 parts. Thicknesses may be doubled for type 2 parts but should not exceed the maximum thickness specified in BS EN 10 025 or BS 4360. NOTE 2. Interpolation for limiting thicknesses for intermediate temperatures is permitted between data in adjacent columns except where one of the limiting thicknesses is shown as zero, then the use of that grade of material for the intermediate temperature is not permitted. NOTE 3. Some of the thicknesses given are the limits set by the maximum thickness specified in BS EN 10 025 or BS 4360. In the case of sections, for which the maximum thicknesses for some grades are not specified, they are taken as those for plates. The option in BS 4360 for specifying the impact value for hollow section of grade 43C should be adopted. NOTE 4. Limiting thicknesses given are derived using 6.5.5 for type 1 parts and the following impact values: Impact Value (joules) 67 54 40 27 18

Temperature (EC) T + 30 T + 20 T + 10 T T ! 10

Compression flanges should be treated as compression members and spliced in accordance with 14.4.2. In determining the load to be transmitted at a splice that is not effectively braced, the following definitions should be adopted: P is the force in the compression flange at the splice position

PD is the flange compression calculated from the bending resistance of the beam at the position of the maximum bending moment PDK is the flange compression calculated from the bending resistance of the beam at the position of the maximum bending amount, assuming that the slenderness parameters 8LT is equal to zero.
