SP 16.13330

The Russian steel structures design code (the updated edition of SNiP II-23).

What it is

SP 16.13330 “Steel Structures” is Russia's primary steel design code — the updated edition of SNiP II-23-81* — used with the SP 20.13330 loading code, and the parent lineage of several national standards (e.g. Vietnam's).

Design method

Russian limit-state design: the design strength Ry is the yield strength divided by the material factor γm, combined with a working-condition factor γc in every verification equation.

Key checks

• Section strength N/(An·Ry·γc) ≤ 1 and flexure M/(Wn·Ry·γc) ≤ 1
• Compression stability — φ from buckling curves by section type (a/b/c)
• Beam stability (φb), shear and combined actions
