Design Guide for

 The Steel Construction Institute

The Steel Construction Institute develops and promotes the effective use of steel in cons~ruction
It is an independent, membership based organisation.

SCI’s research and development activities cover many aspects of steel construction including
multi-storey construction, industrial buildings, light steel framing systems and modular
construction, development of design guidance on the use of stainless steel, fire engineering. bridge
and civil engineering, offshore engineering, environmental studies, value engineering, and
development of structural analysis systems and information technology.

Membership is open to all organisations and individuals that are concerned with the use of steel in :
construction. Members include designers, contractors, suppliers, fabricators, academics and ,
government departments in the United Kingdom, elsewhere in Europe and in countries around the ,
world. The SCI is financed by subscriptions from its members, revenue from research contracts
and consultancy services, publication sales and course fees.

The benefits of corporate membership include access to an independent specialist advisory service
and free issue of SCI publications as soon as they are produced. A Membership Information Pack
is available on request from the Membership Manager.
