Abstract The Continuous Strength Method (CSM) is a deformation-based approach to the
design of structures that enables a continuous, rational and accurate allowance for material …

Current stainless steel design standards are based on elastic, perfectly plastic material
behaviour providing consistency with carbon steel design expressions, but often leading to …

In current structural stainless steel design codes, local buckling is accounted for through a
cross-section classification framework, which is based on an elastic, perfectly-plastic …

This paper presents the behaviour and design of axially loaded concrete filled stainless
steel circular and square hollow sections. The experimental investigation was conducted …

Appropriate assessment of the fire resistance of structures depends largely on the ability to
accurately predict the material response at elevated temperature. The material …

Stainless steel is a family of steel alloys with a minimum of approximately 10.5% mass of
chromium. Unlike carbon steel, it has high corrosion and heat resistant properties. Stainless …

Square and rectangular hollow sections are generally produced either by hot-rolling or cold-
forming. Cross-sections of nominally similar geometries, but from the two different production …

Many of the principal concepts that underpin current metallic structural design codes were
developed on the basis of bilinear (elastic, perfectly-plastic) material behaviour; such …

Stainless steel has been gaining increasing use in a variety of engineering applications due
to its unique combination of mechanical properties, durability and aesthetics. Significant …

Stainless steel's characteristic nonlinear, rounded stress–strain behaviour requires accurate
recognition in numerical modelling. Its response to cold-working is far more pronounced …
