Stainless Steel Structural design Reference 1

[profplan]

Not sure if this is the right forum to post this. I am designing tubes/pipes, angles & I-beam shapes as equipment and pipe structural supports in waste-water concrete tanks. I am using 316L stainless steel, A269/312 and A276. My questions are:

1. Where can I find a structural design guide, section properties, stresses for design of stainless steel, or similar information?

http://www.ssina.com

lists suppliers, but little structural design information.

2. Is Allowable Stress design using AISC, for structural (carbon) steel, acceptable if there is no national code or design guide?

Thanks.
