This Part of BS 8100 gives recommendations for procedures to be used to determine the loading for the design or appraisal of guyed masts of lattice construction.
The procedures given primarily apply to bolted, riveted or welded metallic structures composed of leg members and triangulated bracings. Section 5 may be inappropriate for masts of Vierendeel form, due to their stiffness characteristics. The response of such masts should be determined using published sources.
This Part of BS 8100 covers dead loads and wind and ice loading. Other superimposed loads are not covered and, where appropriate, should be considered.
This Part of BS 8100 is applicable to structures in the United Kingdom for which specific meteorological data are given. Guidance is also provided on the use of this Part of BS 8100 for structures in other countries.
This Part of BS 8100 is based on the principles of limit state design and the partial safety factors given are appropriate only for masts designed in accordance with this standard.
