Hot-rolled stainless steel design

Hot-rolled stainless steel design

Hot-rolled stainless steel design

(OP)
Australia has AS/NZS 4673 'Cold-formed stainless steel structures'. There is no code for hot-rolled stainless steel.

Perusing AS 4100 'SCOPE AND APPLICATION' it stipulates 'This Standard applies to buildings, structures and cranes constructed of steel' (refer attached). Is is therefore satisfactory that hot-rolled stainless steel sections satisfying all the other constraints in that clause be designed to AS 4100?

RE: Hot-rolled stainless steel design

Don't know about Australia but in the US the AISC doesn't deal with stainless steel.

RE: Hot-rolled stainless steel design

AISC has a design guide (I think it's Design Guide 27). Some design equations are modified but they mostly refer back to AISC 360.

RE: Hot-rolled stainless steel design

From the design guide:
The major difference between the mechanical properties of carbon and stainless steel is the stress-strain relationship - stainless steel has a continuous, but nonlinear, relationship between stress and strain.

It goes on to mention that the Design Guide is based on the provisions in the European Design Manual fro Structural Stainless Steel and Eurocode 3: Design of Steel Structures, Supplementary Rules for Stainless Steel, Part 1-4.
