BS 7608:1993

General recommendations for parts of structures which are subject to repeated fluctuations of stress. Covers wrought structural steel with yield strength up to 700 N/mm^2 operating in sub-creep regime. BS 7608 is a code of practice for the design of steel structures and covers the general aspects of fatigue design of fabricated steel elements. It is for mechanical engineers. BS 7608 is being revised to bring it up-to-date with Eurocode 3. Since national standards covering the same subject matter as the Eurocodes will not be withdrawn until 2010, this revision of BS 7608 will allow UK users to have a more user-friendly alternative until that time.Cross References:BS 3643:Part 2BS 3692BS 4190BS 4395:Part 1BS 4395:Part 2BS 4604:Part 1BS 4604:Part 2BS 5135BS 5400:Part 5PD 6493 BS 5400:Part 10BS 5500BS 8118:Part 1
