13、shed by BSI Standards Limited, under licence fromThe British Standards Institution, and came into effect on 30 September 2013. Itwas prepared by Subcommittee B/525/6, Use of masonry, under the authority ofTechnical Committee B/525, Building and civil engineering structure. A list oforganizations rep
14、resented on this committee can be obtained on request to itssecretary.SupersessionThis part of BS 8103 supersedes BS 8103-2:2005, which is withdrawn.Relationship with other publicationsIn addition to BS 8103-2, BS 8103 comprises two further parts: Part 1: Structural design of low-rise buildings. Cod
15、e of practice for stability,site investigation, foundations, precast concrete floors and ground floorslabs for housing; Part 3: Code of practice for timber floors and roofs for housing.Information about this documentThis is a full revision of the standard, and introduces the following principalchang
16、es. The document has been updated to bring it in line with changes toBS 8103-1. The wind loading map has been updated and revised. The references have been updated to align with the Structural Eurocodes.A large proportion of the national building programme is concerned with newhouse construction or
17、development sites and alterations, specifically houseextensions and additional dwelling space. This covers both the public andprivate sectors where traditional methods of construction are used for themajority of houses, and it is to these that this part of BS 8103 is applicable.Low-rise buildings co
18、nstructed in accordance with this part of BS 8103 do notrequire additional specialist advice. Extensions to low-rise housing also requireno additional specialist advice if they, together with the original building, areconstructed in accordance with this part of BS 8103. For any buildings, includingt
19、hose with extensions, outside the limitations of this part of BS 8103, as given in4.2 and 4.4, appropriate specialist advice is needed. The recommendations madein this part of BS 8103 are based on traditional prescriptive guidancesubstantiated by long experience of use.In formulating the recommendat
20、ions in this part of BS 8103, maximum loadconditions and the most challenging limiting dimensions were used. In lesschallenging conditions it might be appropriate to consider a minor departurefrom the recommendations of this part of BS 8103 and show adequacy bycalculation.When using this part of BS
21、8103 it is important to assess that the overall stabilityof the building is achieved, and that the work of any specialist engaged isproperly coordinated. BS 8103-1 covers the stability aspect of low-rise housing;by following this guidance, users comply with the general robustnessrequirements of BS E
22、N 1991-1-7 and its UK National Annex.The recommendations in this part of BS 8103 are intended to provide economic,safe designs without the need for calculations for loading and strength criteria.BRITISH STANDARD BS 8103-2:2013 The British Standards Institution 2013 iiiThe figures in this part of BS
23、8103 support the text. They do not show allconstructional details and are not intended to illustrate compliance with anyother requirements or recommendations.Use of this documentAs a code of practice, this part of BS 8103 takes the form of guidance andrecommendations. It should not be quoted as if i
24、t were a specification andparticular care should be taken to ensure that claims of compliance are notmisleading.Any user claiming compliance with this part of BS 8103 is expected to be able tojustify any course of action that deviates from its recommendations.The start and finish of text introduced
25、or altered by Corrigendum No. 1 isindicated in the text by tagsand. Minor editorial changes are nottagged.Presentational conventionsThe provisions of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Itsrecommendations are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliaryverb is “shoul
26、d”.Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented insmaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.The word “should” is used to express recommendations of this standard. Theword “may” is used in the text to express permissibility, e.g. as an alternative tothe
27、 primary recommendation of the clause. The word “can” is used to expresspossibility, e.g. a consequence of an action or an event.Notes and commentaries are provided throughout the text of this standard.Notes give references and additional information that are important but do notform part of the rec

30、13iv The British Standards Institution 20131 ScopeThis part of BS 8103 gives recommendations on the structural design for wallsabove ground level damp-proof course (DPC) and walls between ground floorlevel and top of foundation level in the following range of buildings oftraditional construction:a)
31、low-rise housing comprising detached, semi-detached and terraced housesand flats (with not more than four self-contained dwelling units per flooraccessible from one staircase) of not more than three storeys above ground,intended for domestic occupation and within the limitations (as given in 4.2and
32、4.4) of this part of BS 8103;b) small single storey non-residential buildings, e.g. domestic garages andannexes to residential buildings not exceeding 36 m2in floor area(see Annex A);NOTE For such buildings all clauses of this part of BS 8103 are applicableexcept for 4.4, 4.5a), 6.1, 6.7.3 and 6.8.c
33、) extensions to low-rise housing conforming to 1a) providing that theextended building conforms to 4.4 and 4.5 of this part of BS 8103. Iftraditional masonry wall bonding (e.g. block bonding) is not used the designjunction between the original building and the extension is outside thescope of this p
34、art of BS 8103-2, as is the design of any part of the originalstructure that is adversely affected by additional loads, including loading tofoundations. The formation of new wall openings in the original building isoutside the scope of this British Standard.This British Standard is written for those
35、 with expertise in building constructionbut not necessarily in structural engineering design.For the purposes of this part of BS 8103, additional habitable accommodation inthe roof space constitutes a storey of the house. This part of BS 8103 does notapply to the design of basements, but, providing
36、the basement is of one levelonly and is designed to provide a firm platform at ground level, the provisionsof this part of BS 8103 may apply to the superstructure above the basement.This part of BS 8103 does not apply to thermal and sound insulation, resistanceto damp penetration and durability.Prop
37、rietary housing systems and houses of timber, steel or concrete framedconstructions are not covered by this part of BS 8103.Text deleted.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in thisdocument and are indispensable for its application.
