MEI’s published material-specification pages include galvanized-steel and aluminium reference tables, plus notes on structural capacity and permissible spans. These help frame early decisions around profile, substrate, coating and loading.
Published design notes
- Steel notes refer to BS 5950 Part 6 and aluminium notes to BS 8118 Part 1
- Span selection should use appropriate working load combinations
- Dimensions shown in the reference material are nominal
- Project length and structural limits need confirmation against current data
Refer to the original MEI images below. Confirm current standards, material grades and span tables with the project engineer before use.
Confirm the current specification
Published charts and examples are useful starting points. Final material selection must follow current approved technical documentation and the project design.
