This paper provides a review of recent developments in research and design practice
surrounding the structural use of stainless steel, with an emphasis on structural stability. The …

Traditional member-based two-step design approaches included in current structural codes
for steel structures, as well as more recent system-based direct-design alternatives, require …

There is a wide variety of stainless steel alloys, but all are characterized by a rounded stress–
strain response with no sharply defined yield point. This behaviour can be represented …

Cross-section classification is an important concept in the design of metallic structures, as it
addresses the susceptibility of a cross-section to local buckling and defines its appropriate …

The S600E high-strength stainless steel (HSSS) is a new type of sorbite stainless steel.
Compared with the traditional stainless steel, the S600E HSSS performs the higher yield …

The stainless steel I-shaped members are extensively used as plate girders due to their
excellent performance. However, traditional stainless steel is often expensive and has a …

QN1803, a high-strength stainless steel, has been developed recently, and its tensile yield
strength can be approximately 40%(or more) higher than the commonly-used EN1. 4301 …

This study reports results of a comprehensive numerical analysis to develop new design
recommendations for determining the shear resistance of QN1803 high-strength stainless …

A comprehensive experimental study on structural behaviour of stainless steel bolted T-stub
connections is presented in this paper. A total of 27 stainless steel bolted T-stubs with …

An experimental and numerical study of the shear response of lean duplex stainless steel
plate girders is described in this paper. A total of nine welded plate girders were tested …
