Stainless steel beam design
Stainless steel beam design
(OP)
Has anyone designed a simply supported beam with stainless steel, Allowble Stress Design method for with the US product?
I am looking for a simple example calculation?
I appreciate if anyone has a short sample of work so I get my feet wet
I am not following the AISC Design Guide and please dont refere that.
Thanks

I am not fsamiliar with the new ASD notations
Safety factor Omega ,....
Did not see where telling me what is Fb clearly to use as we used to use 0.6Fy or 0.66Fy
I need a simple example in simple language
And where do I find cross sections and section properties??? Whereas in the green book is in the book?
Is E modulous of Elasticity the same as for Carbon steel?
I appreciate any help
RE: Stainless steel beam design
If you go to http://www.aisc.org/content.aspx?id=2868 you can download an excel file with all the steel shape information as far as cross section goes. As far as the elastic modulus goes with all steel there is a range however the standard value can be applied to SS as well. If you can confirm that the cross section of the shape is compact then you don't have to worry about any local deformation and can just use Fy*Zx for the moment capacity. The omega is just the safety factor.
RE: Stainless steel beam design
Are you telling me the section properties of for example W 12 x 26 with carbon steel (where is in the 9th edition) is same as W12 x 26 Stainless Steel?
is now "Z" is the new way of showing elastic section modulus "S" ?

Can you elaborate on this?

Depending on the loads applied you need to check lateral tortional buckling, flange local buckling, web crippling, shear etc.
