Stainless Steel Design: Effective Elastic Section Modulus
Stainless Steel Design: Effective Elastic Section Modulus
(OP)
In the ASCE Standard for stainless steel under the flexural strength determination section (Section 3), there is mention of; (a) elastic section modulus of the effective section, Se; (b)elastic section modulus of the full, unreduced section, Sf; and (c) the elastic section modulus of the effective section at a stress Mc/Sf in the compression fiber, Sc. However, there is no mention on how to determine these section properties or the reductions to determine them from the normal elastic section modulus, S, [b]does anyone know how to determine these values?[b\]






RE: Stainless Steel Design: Effective Elastic Section Modulus
And as the accompanying sheet illustrates, you can see less section working at full yield strength or the full section at a lower level of strength.
