Full title and description

SP 16.13330.2017 — "Steel structures" (СП 16.13330.2017). A Russian set of rules (Svod pravil) that establishes technical requirements and calculation rules for the design of rolled and welded steel building structures, including design conditions, checks for limit states, stability and durability provisions, and provisions for welded connections and fabrication.

Abstract

This standard provides the rules for the design and calculation of steel building and structure elements (rolled and welded sections) for a broad range of building types and operational temperatures (approximately −60 °C to +100 °C). It updates and replaces earlier national rules (superseding SP 16.13330.2011) and has been issued with multiple subsequent amendments to keep the technical provisions current.

Scope

Applies to the design and strength/stability verification of steel structures of buildings and structures of various purposes that are fabricated from rolled or welded steel sections and operate in the typical temperature range indicated in the standard (about −60 °C to +100 °C). The scope includes limit-state checks (ultimate and serviceability), stability (global and local buckling, lateral–torsional buckling), welded connection rules, section classification and requirements for fabrication and durability.

Key topics and requirements

• Limit states design approach for steel members and structures (ultimate and serviceability checks).
• Section classification (compact, non-compact, slender) and associated resistance reduction rules.
• Stability checks: global buckling, lateral–torsional buckling, local web/plate buckling, and procedures to determine stability coefficients (appendices provide methods and tables used in software implementations).
• Rules for welded and bolted connections, minimum weld sizes and fabrication requirements (including tables for weld throat/catet values and weld types).
• Design for combined actions (axial, bending, shear), checks for deformability (serviceability) and durability/corrosion considerations (cross-references to related SP/GOST provisions).

Typical use and users

Used by structural engineers, detailers, steel fabricators, construction designers, regulatory authorities and software developers who implement national steel-design modules. It is referenced by engineering software and design offices for calculation, verification and documentation of steel member and frame designs in Russia and by organizations outside Russia that reference Russian practice.

Related standards

Closely linked to other Russian SP/GOST documents in the building design system (for example SP 20.13330.2016 on loads and actions, SP 22.13330.2016 on foundations, SP 43.13330.2012 on industrial structures, and earlier SP 16.13330.2011 which it supersedes). The standard is also used together with relevant GOST standards and later amendments that modify specific calculation or fabrication clauses.
