The technical information follows a constant format for all applications:

• Client briefing: guides, case studies and concept designs demonstrate the value that steel offers for economic, fast, adaptable, safe, construction.
• Concise information on proposal development guides the architect and engineer through all the decisions that have to be made to develop a best practice design.
• Design verification for the Eurocodes covers the four critical steps:
  • Each design activity is described separately by a flow chart.
  • A commentary is provided on the effective application of every clause in EC3 that is referenced.
  • Non-contradictory, complementary information (NCCI) is presented that addresses all the information that the Eurocodes do not cover that is essential for design.
  • Worked examples illustrate all the key design stages. Where appropriate they are ‘interactive’ i.e. use web delivered software that enables the user to carry out his own element design or develop his own design data.
