New design tools for structural hollow sections of stainless steel
Previously stainless steel has been used in buildings as facades, envelopes, canopies, roofing and water drainage systems mainly for aesthetic reasons. The design standards and manuals for stainless steel structural members and connections in Europe have been developed since the beginning of the 1990's. Those standards and manuals give recommendations on how to select the most appropriate grade of stainless steel for a given application and provide information on the mechanical properties, physical properties and design strength. Until recently, in many applications stainless steel structural hollow sections were taking a share as structural elements covering square, rectangular and circular cross-sections. Therefore, research has been conducted on members and welded connections in hollow sections by testing structural resistances at room temperature and in fire situations. In this paper new design tools are presented in order to help designers to utilise stainless steel structural hollow sections. Information in this field developed in Europe, Australia and North America by different R&D projects was included in the Design Handbook. This Design Handbook covers aspects of material behaviour, cross-section design, member design, connections, fire resistant design, fabrication and design examples.
