Technical Digest 2019
Essential reading
for designers
The steel construction sector’s annual series
of Technical Digests is now in its fourth
year and has firmly established its place as
essential reading on the digital ‘bookshelf’
of architects and engineers.
This Digest, like the previous three, is
always available for free download at the
steelconstruction.info website.
The Digest is part of the steel construction
sector’s long-established commitment to providing
everything needed to keep designers in steel
up-to-date with all the latest technical guidance
to ensure that they can take advantage of the
numerous benefits of steel as a construction
material.
A fully comprehensive array of ways of accessing
this information is provided, ensuring that guidance
and information is always easily accessible.
Everything relevant to steel construction, including
cost as well as design guidance, is freely available on
the steelconstruction.info website, the free to use
first port of call for technical support.
The BCSA’s monthly magazine New Steel
Construction (NSC) is a popular source of advice
and news, and is where the the highly popular
Advisory Desk Notes and longer Technical Articles
from the steel sector’s own experts are first
published, and immediately made available on
newsteelconstruction.com.
The Digest brings together all the Advisory Desk
Notes and Technical Articles published in NSC in
the previous year in a format that is available as
downloadable pdfs or for online viewing.
Advisory Desk Notes keep designers abreast
of developments in technical standards. Some
of them are provided following questions being
asked of the sector’s technical advisers. They are
acknowledged as essential reading for all involved
in the design of constructional steelwork.
The more detailed Technical Articles offer deeper
insights into what designers need to know to
produce the best steel construction projects. These
articles can be in response to legislative changes or
changes to codes and standards.
A technical update will occasionally be provided
following a number of relatively minor changes
that it is felt could usefully be brought together in
one place.
Both AD Notes and Technical Articles provide
early warnings to designers of changes that they
need to know about and point towards sources of
further detailed information available via the steel
sector’s other advisory routes. We hope you will
continue to find the Technical Digests of value.
