Abstract
The UK is experiencing unprecedented housing demand, with traditional provision in suburbanised clusters now known to have negative environmental, economic and social impacts. An alternative to this is residential densification through vertical extension; generating a more sustainable urban form whilst also serving to increase circularity of material flows within the construction industry and reduce whole-life carbon and energy requirements. As a result of their relative abundance, inherent durability, and ease of adaptation, multi storey steel framed buildings are particularly pertinent in this context. It is also likely that sufficient reserve structural capacity exists within this typology; resulting from overdesign, the employment of simplified analytic design methods, and the limited number of section sizes available for use. The relative portion of reserve buckling capacity originating from these sources is assessed using a modified version of the effective length method to account for column continuity in multi-storey steel frames. This reveals the consideration of column continuity to contribute an average of 1.23 kN/m2 of reserve buckling capacity across typical office buildings, with the amount resulting from section size limitations varying with design scenario.
