N° 79.1972. Manuel de calcul CEB-FIP "Flambement-Instabilité" (2ème proposition de rédaction)

Suggestions for the Elaboration of Design Manuals at the CEB Session, Copenhagen, May 1971 (unanimously approved by the Session)

The following recommendations concern the content of Design Manuals:

1. Short description of the scope.
2. Short recapitulation and, where necessary, extension of the respective clauses of the Recommendations.
3. Suggestion of techniques for solving inherent problems, taking into account:
   a. the variety of problems to be solved;
   b. the different degrees of approximation needed, and the limitations of the application of the methods proposed;
   c. the variability of methods that can be used (formulas, diagrams, tables, computer programs).
4. Examples of application.
5. Where relevant, flow diagrams for computer programs.

The Manuals should take due account of the fact that they are only intended to serve as models for the development of national Manuals.
