B.1 Static tensile efficiencies of terminations

Gives guidance for the assessment of the strength of members and connections for masts and towers of lattice construction consisting mainly of bolted, rivetted or welded steel angle or tubular or soild round sections. Valid for both equal and unequal angles, either rolled or cold formed, compound members fabricated from these sections, tubular members and solid rounds.
