96. (1) Subject to the provisions of Part XVI (Fire Resisting Construction), where a column or beam is situated wholly or partly in an external wall or wholly or partly within a recess in a party wall, that column or beam shall be solidly encased with brickwork, concrete or other similar material not less than-

(i) 100 mm thick where the encasement of a column is exposed to the weather; and

(ii) 50 mm thick where not so exposed.

(2) Where structural steel may be adversely affected by moisture from the adjoining earth, it shall be solidly encased with concrete not less than 100 mm thick.

(3) For the purpose of this regulation any concrete used in the encasement of steelwork shall be not inferior to that designated Grade III in regulation 19.

97. (1) Subject to the provisions of regulations 97(3), (4) and (5), 99, 101 and 106, the stresses of structural steel (other than columns and struts), shall not exceed the maximum permissible stresses specified in Table XX.

(2) In compound or built-up sections formed with different thicknesses of high yield stress structural steel, the maximum permissible stress for the whole of the section shall be taken as that for the greatest thickness of material used, except that for shear on webs, the maximum permissible stress shall be that specified for the thickness of the web itself.
