Steel Buildings in Europe

Part 7: Model Construction Specification 7 - 35 APPENDIX A MODEL PROJECT SPECIFICATION The execution of steelwork for multi-storey buildings in Europe will generally be specified to be in accordance with EN 1090-2, and the design to be in accordance with applicable parts of the Eurocode Standards. These Standards, which cover technical requirements for a wide range of steel structures, include clauses where the execution/design specification for the works is required to give additional information or where it has the option to specify other requirements. Appendix A offers a set of clauses that may be used for multi-storey steel building projects to supplement and quantify the rules of the Europeans Standards. The clauses are arranged in a two-column format. The left column contains the proposed clauses. The right column gives a commentary to several clauses, for the information of the person drawing up project documents; those commentaries are not intended to be included within the execution specification. The model specification must be made specific to the construction project by completing the relevant clauses with appropriate information. The model project specification proposed in this Appendix covers structural steelwork produced from hot rolled structural steel products only. It does not cover structural steelwork produced from cold formed structural steel (only cold formed profiled steel sheeting and cold formed stressed-skin sheeting used as a structural diaphragm are herein covered), structural hollow sections, channels and tubes and stainless steel products. This model project specification relates principally to conventional construction using constituent products to the standards referenced in EN 1090-2. If more complex forms of construction are involved or other products are used, designers need to consider any modifications that might be needed to the execution specification to ensure that the desired quality and/or functionality are achieved. For consistency, in Appendix A, those clause headings that are numbered and in bold, correspond to the Section headings of this document.
