L.N. 294/76.

Note: The maximum permissible axial stress for intermediate values of l/r shall be obtained by interpolation between the 2 nearest stresses for the kind of steel used.

(3) For the purpose of calculating the maximum permissible axial stress on a column or strut where that column or strut-

(a) is of I-section;

(b) has a single web;

(c) does not exceed 750 mm in depth over plating where used;

(d) is solidly encased in concrete not inferior to that designated Grade IIIA in regulation 19:

(e) the minimum width of solid concrete encasing is at least equal to b + 100 mm, where b is the width of the steel flange in mm;
