Austenitic stainless steel is an excellent construction material for structures required to withstand accidental loads such as seismic and/or fire events due its appropriate mechanical properties, including high ductility, considerable strain hardening and good resistance. In recent years, a amount of research has been devoted the understanding structural performance single isolated members. However, new trends in design philosophy moving from current member-based methods direct system-based...
Austenitic stainless steels offer a suitable combination of high ductility, adequate toughness, considerable strain hardening and good fire resistance, making them excellent construction materials, especially for structures subjected to accidental loading such as seismic and/or events. With most the research over recent years devoted behaviour single isolated steel members, advances on structural systems are scarce, yet necessary, further development design codes. Hence, an extensive...
Current design standards for stainless steel such as ASCE 8-02 and EN 1993-1-4 prescribe provisions the of cross-sections members that account material nonlinearities strain hardening, although these features are not considered in global structures. Recent studies have highlighted need accounting order to efficient safe structures, it is expected forthcoming versions will incorporate updated rules To contribute this field, paper presents a Stiffness Reduction Method (SRM) in-plane frames...
Abstract Adequate mechanical properties make stainless steel an excellent construction material for structures. The current European structural code EN1993‐1‐4 (2015) is largely based on provisions given carbon EN1993‐1‐1 (2005) and does not establish specific design rules the global analysis of Thus, same classification criterion applies in both codes sway non‐sway structures, as well providing predicting expressions amplification bending moments basic despite considerable differences...
Abstract Stainless steel alloys exhibit a nonlinear stress‐strain behaviour which can be precisely described by the Ramberg‐Osgood material model up to ultimate stress. However, there is no consensus on ductile fracture under monotonic loading, affects post‐necking behaviour, adopted for stainless steels, even though may have clear applications in structural design, such as predicting joint failure direct design approaches. This study presents calibration of parameters two most common...
