Stainless steel tubular members are employed in a range of load-bearing applications due to their strength, durability and aesthetic appeal. From the limited existing test data on stainless steel circular hollow sections ...

Development of efficient design guidance for stainless steel structures (considering non-linear behaviour, strain hardening and allowing for moment redistribution in indeterminate structures) is crucial for the widespread ...

Austenitic stainless steel is an excellent construction material for structures required to withstand accidental loads such as seismic and/or fire events due to its appropriate mechanical properties, including high ductility, ...

The Continuous Strength Method provides excellent resistance predictions of stocky cross-sections under different loading conditions as it accounts for enhanced material properties, although the method is currently limited ...

The Continuous Strength Method (CSM) provides accurate resistance predictions for both stocky and slender stainless steel cross-sections; in the case of the former, allowance is made for the beneficial effects of strain ...

Terrestrial Laser Scanners (TLS) provide manifold possibilities in construction sites. In buildings assembled with steel frames, the “as-built” configuration of the structure can be virtualized by means of TLS measurements ...

This article presents some observations related to the phenomenon that occurs when transversally and longitudinally stiffened steel plate girders are subjected to patch loading. The failure mechanism differs considerably ...

The current EN 1993-1-4 does not have supplementary web crippling design provision for cold-formed stainless steel sections under local transverse forces. Therefore, designers are generally referring to the guidance in EN ...
