I work in the US and I am currently packaging a cost estimate for a structure in South America. According to the specifications supplied they will be using British Standards/Codes. At this moment I have zero familiarity with the British Codes and I am curious as to the differences between design criteria, specifically wind and seismic. Is there a difference in steel shapes/sizes? Where would I find a good single resource without purchaing serveral codes?
Thanks in advance.
