Should ‘Skip-Load the Live Load around column’ be applied when designing columns using BS 5950-2000?
No, this is not necessary when designing columns in accordance with BS 5959-1:2000. Clause 4.7.7 states:
‘In structures of simple design, it is not necessary to consider the effect on columns of pattern loading. For the purpose of column design, all the beams supported by a column at any one level should be assumed to be fully loaded.’
