Stainless steel is an excellent construction material due to its high ductility, strain hardening, durability and aesthetic characteristics. To date, most studies on stainless steel have been devoted to understanding its ...

The usage of stainless steel in construction has been increasing owing to its corrosion resistance, aesthetic appearance and favourable mechanical properties. The most common stainless steel grades used for structural a ...

This paper presents a full slenderness range DSM approach for the prediction of the cross-sectional resistance of ferritic stainless steel hollow sections subjected to different loading conditions using the same strength ...

This paper studies the cross-sectional behaviour of austenitic, ferritic and duplex stainless steel hollow sections subjected to several loading conditions and presents a full slenderness range DSM approach for the prediction ...

The origin of Civil Engineering can be found in Military Engineering, to which construction was linked for many years due to issues of defense and strategy. This fact has conditioned a clearly masculinized discipline from ...

The importance of integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in the curriculum of all the bachelor and master degrees at UPC has been legally and institutionally recognised. At the Barcelona School of Civil ...

Stainless steels are ideal for sustainable structural performances due to their excellent corrosion resistance, appropriate mechanical properties, aesthetic appearance and easy maintenance. However, the nonlinear behaviour ...

El acero inoxidable se emplea en un amplio abanico de aplicaciones estructurales en ambientes agresivos en los que se requiere garantizar un comportamiento adecuado durante largos períodos de tiempo con niveles mínimos de ...

Stainless steel possess better strength and stiffness reduction factors at high temperatures than carbon steel which has been shown to result in enhanced fire performance of structural components and assemblies. In recent ...
