This document deals with the basic criteria for the design of steel structures to be coated by protective paint systems in order to avoid corrosion and degradation of the coating or the structure. It gives examples of suitable and unsuitable designs, indicating which structural elements and combinations of elements are likely to pose accessibility problems when applying, inspecting and maintaining paint systems. Design features which facilitate handling and transport of steel structures are considered.
