Load factors
The structure being unsafe or on the point of collapse
when it reaches the limit states of strength or stability
Therefore, necessary to ensure that there is an adequate
factor of safety against failure
Factored load should be applied in the most unfavourable
realistic combination for the part or effect under
consideration
To consider this, the specified loads should be multiplied by
the relevant partial factors, f given in Table 2 BS 5950 Part

Code of Practice
Particularly BS 5950 is used in designing steelwork in
building.
Clauses in BS 5950 covers sway stability, avoidance of
disproportionate collapse, resistance to brittle fracture, local
buckling, lateral torsional buckling, shear resistance,
stiffeners, members subject to combined axial force and
bending moment, joints, connections and testing.
Code of Practice
BS 5950 consists of the following parts:
Design Methods
