KMK 2.03.05-97 PDF

Full title and description

KMK 2.03.05-97 — "Стальные конструкции. Нормы проектирования" (English: "Steel structures. Design standards"). The document is the KMK-series technical design code that sets national design rules, materials and execution requirements for steel structural elements used in building and industrial construction.

Abstract

KMK 2.03.05-97 provides design rules, material and connection recommendations, welding and fabrication guidance, and classification of working conditions for typical steel structural members (beams, columns, trusses, connections and associated details) used in building and industrial projects. The standard has been used as the national-design reference in the KMK family and has since been updated and replaced by a later SHNK edition.

General information

• Status: Superseded / replaced by SHNK 2.03.05-23 (active replacement edition).
• Publication date: Original KMK edition issued 1997 (identifier -97 indicates 1997 edition).
• Publisher: Issued as part of the KMK national technical design codes used in the Republic of Uzbekistan and maintained through national construction authorities and specialist institutes (KMK/SHNK series developers and distributors).
• ICS / categories: Structures of buildings — metal / steel structures (ICS 91.080.10; 91.080.13).
• Edition / version: KMK 2.03.05-97 (1997) — later updated and reissued in the SHNK series as SHNK 2.03.05-23.
• Number of pages: Approximately 31 pages (KMK 2.03.05-97 compact design code).

Scope

The standard covers principles and rules for structural design of steel elements used in buildings and industrial structures: normative assumptions for loads and load combinations (as applied in national practice), material properties and selection, welded and bolted connections, basic fabrication and execution guidance, special classification of elements (for example crane-beam categories), and limits of applicability for certain thin-walled cold-formed profiles. It is intended for use at the design and project documentation stages where national KMK rules apply.

Key topics and requirements

• Design assumptions and normative loads for steel building elements (per KMK-series methodology).
• Material properties and selection criteria for structural steels used in member design.
• Rules for welded and bolted connections, recommended sizes and execution notes for common joints.
• Classification of crane runway beams and other heavy-duty elements by working category and associated fabrication/welding requirements.
• Limitations for application: does not fully address thin cold-formed profiles below certain thicknesses (practical guidance notes note limitations for sections thinner than ~4 mm).
• Requirements for corrosion protection and references to complementary KMK/SHNK chapters dealing with coatings and protection (cross-referenced standards).

Typical use and users

Primary users are structural engineers, design institutes, project offices, steel fabricators, builders and regulatory reviewers working on buildings and industrial structures in jurisdictions that adopt KMK/SHNK national codes (historically used in Uzbekistan and regional projects that reference KMK). It is used for schematic and working design, shop drawing checks, and to set execution/fabrication tolerances consistent with national practice.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: KMK 2.03.05-97 is a national technical design code titled "Стальные конструкции. Нормы проектирования" (Steel structures — Design standards) that provides rules and recommendations for designing steel building and industrial structures under the KMK series.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers design assumptions, material selection, welded and bolted connections, execution/fabrication requirements, classification of heavy-duty members (e.g., crane beams), and related prescriptive guidance used in project documentation. It does not fully address some modern thin cold-formed profiles (limitations noted for profiles below about 4 mm).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Structural engineers, design institutes, fabricators and construction oversight bodies working on projects that reference the KMK/SHNK national codes (regional design practice in Uzbekistan and neighbouring states that adopt KMK-derived norms).

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Superseded — KMK 2.03.05-97 has been replaced by SHNK 2.03.05-23 (the SHNK edition is the active/recent national design standard). Users should consult SHNK 2.03.05-23 for current mandatory rules.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — KMK 2.03.05-97 belongs to the KMK (technical design norms) family of national construction design documents; these codes are maintained and revised (many items have been reissued under the SHNK series). The KMK/SHNK collections include companion chapters on loads, corrosion protection, floors, roofs and other structural topics.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Steel structures; design norms; welded joints; bolted connections; crane beams; KMK; SHNK; corrosion protection; structural design; cold-formed sections.
