FOREWORD
This document is a design guide for stainless steel written for engineers experienced in
the design of carbon steel structural steelwork but not necessarily in the design of
stainless steel structures. The purpose of this guide is to promote the safe and efficient
use of stainless steel in structures.
Since there is no British Standard for designing structural stainless steel, this guide is
based on the new version of BS 5950-1, Code of Practice for design in simple and
continuous construction, published by BSI in 2000. The guidance provided is an
extension of the code as appropriate to the design of stainless steel structures. Where the
detailed code rules are unsuitable for the design of stainless steel elements, the guide
draws on the recommendations given in the trial Eurocode for stainless steel,
ENV 1993-1-4 and other sources, with suitable modification to bring the
recommendations into the format of BS 5950-1:2000. Design examples are included to
demonstrate the use of the recommendations.

INTRODUCTION
1.1
What is stainless steel?
Created on 01 June 2012

Stainless steel is the name given to a family of corrosion and heat resistant
steels containing a minimum of 10.5% chromium. Just as there is a range of
structural and engineering carbon steels meeting different requirements of
strength, weldability and toughness, so there is a wide range of stainless steels
with progressively higher levels of corrosion resistance and strength. This
variety of grades results from the controlled addition of alloying elements, each
offering specific attributes in respect of strength and ability to resist different
environments. To achieve the optimum economic benefit from using stainless
steel, it is important to select a grade of steel which is adequate for the
application without being unnecessarily highly alloyed and costly.
With chromium content above 10.5% and in the presence of air or any other
oxidising environment, a transparent and tightly adherent layer of
chromium-rich oxide forms spontaneously on the surface of the steel. If the
film is damaged by scratching or cutting, it will reform immediately in the
presence of oxygen. Although the film is very thin (about 5 × 10!6 mm), it is
both stable and non porous, thus preventing the steel from reacting further with
the atmosphere. For this reason, it is called a passive layer. The stability of
this passive layer depends on the composition of the steel, its surface treatment
and the corrosive nature of its environment. Its stability increases as the
chromium content increases and is further enhanced by alloy additions of nickel
and molybdenum.
The grades of stainless steel can be classified into the following five basic
groups (further information on the various groups and types of stainless steels
may be found in standard texts[1,2,3]).
Austenitic stainless steels
The most widely used types of stainless steel are based on 17-18% chromium
and 8-11% nickel additions. In comparison to standard structural carbon steels,
these steels have a modified atomic (crystal) structure. As a result, austenitic
stainless steels, in addition to their corrosion resistance, have high ductility, are
amenable to cold forming and are readily weldable.
They also have
significantly better toughness over a wide range of temperatures, compared with
standard structural grades. They can usually be strengthened by cold working,
but cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. The corrosion performance can
be further enhanced by additions of molybdenum.
Ferritic stainless steels
The chromium content of the most popular ferritic stainless steels is between
10.5 and 18%. Ferritic stainless steels contain less nickel than austenitic grades
and the atomic structure is the same as structural carbon steels. As a result,
they are generally less ductile, less formable, less weldable and less corrosion
resistant than austenitic stainless steels. They can be strengthened by cold
working, but to a more limited degree than the austenitic grades. Like the
austenitic grades, they cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. They are not
as corrosion resistant as austenitic stainless steels and so applications are
normally limited to indoor components such as handrails and shop-fittings.

Duplex stainless steels
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
Duplex stainless steels have a mixed microstructure of austenite and ferrite, and
so are sometimes called austenitic-ferritic steels. They typically contain 21 26% chromium, 4 - 8% nickel and 0.1 - 4.5% molybdenum additions.
Compared to the austenitic and ferritic steels, they offer the combination of
relatively high strength and good corrosion performance. These grades have
very good resistance to the form of corrosion known as stress corrosion
cracking (see Section 2.2.5), compared with the austenitic grades typically used
in construction. Although duplex stainless steels have good ductility, their
higher strength results in more restricted formability, compared to the austenitic
grades. They can also be strengthened by cold working, but, like the austenitic
and ferritics on which they are based, they cannot be strengthened by heat
treatment. The modern compositions of duplex stainless steels have good
weldability and, provided that welding speed and heat input are controlled,
maintain their excellent corrosion resistance after welding. Welding distortion
should be lower in duplex stainless steels than in the austenitic grades, due to
the lower thermal expansion rate of the duplex grades.
Duplex steels should generally be used when a material has to withstand high
mechanical stresses under severe corrosion conditions. They have good
resistance to stress corrosion cracking and high fatigue strength. They are
currently used in the chemical and offshore industries for tubing, shafts and
valves as well as for components in desalination plants. Duplex steels have
been used for tension bars and pins in the construction industry.
Martensitic stainless steels
Martensitic stainless steels have a similar microstructure to ferritic and
structural carbon steels but, due to their higher carbon content, can be
strengthened by heat treatment. The corrosion resistance of martensitic stainless
steels is similar to that of ferritic grades. Their ductility is more limited than
the ferritic, austenitic and duplex grades. Although most martensitic stainless
steels can be welded, this may require pre-heat and post weld heat treatments,
which can limit their use in welded components. Although they are cheaper
than austenitic steels, their low corrosion resistance limits the range of suitable
applications to components such as valves, dies and knife blades.
Precipitation hardened steels
Precipitation hardened steels can be strengthened by heat treatment to very high
strengths. The strengthening mechanism is different from that in the martensitic
grades; due to the lower carbon levels, the strength after heat treatment of
precipitation hardened steels is generally not as high as in the martensitic
grades, but the tensile strength and toughness can be expected to be better.
These steels are not normally used in welded fabrication. The corrosion
resistance of these steels is generally better than the martensitic or ferritic
grades and is similar to the 18% chromium, 8% nickel austenitic grades.
Although they are mostly used in the aerospace industry, proprietary grades
such as FV.520B have been used for certain heavy duty connections in buildings
as well as for tie-bolts and reinforcing bars.

Scope of this publication
The recommendations given in this guide apply to the grades of stainless steel
that are typically used in structural applications. The most widely used grades1,
commonly referred to as the standard austenitic grades, are 1.4301 (304) and
1.4401 (316). Grades 1.4307 (304L) and 1.4404 (316L) are lower carbon
versions of the near-identical standard specifications and are also commonly
used. The recommendations in this publication also apply to duplex grades such
as 1.4462 (2205). Section 2.2 gives further information on material grades.
The guide is intended for the design of primary and secondary structural
components. It covers aspects of material behaviour and selection, cross-section
design, member design, connections, fire resistant design and fabrication. The
guide is also not applicable to special structures such as those in nuclear
installations or pressure vessels for which specific standards for stainless steel
application already exist.

Specific guidance on the use of stainless steel in the water industry is
available[4]. Production, fabrication and surface finishes are covered in more
detail in the Architects’ guide to stainless steel[5] (also available online at
http://www.steel-stainless.org/architects). Design guidance concerning stainless
steel handrails and balustrades has also been published[6].
Design guidance and recommendations concerning good practice on the
installation of stainless steel masonry support angles are given by a series of
information sheets produced by the Masonry Support Information Group[7,8,9].
The information is also published on the Group’s web site
(http://www.masonrysupport.org).
The recommendations in this publication should be used in conjunction with
BS 5950-1:2000[10]. These are concerned with the design of elements and
members and not the behaviour and design of frameworks, for which the carbon
steel rules are applicable. Plastic analysis is not yet appropriate to stainless
steel. However, cross-sections that satisfy the requirements for class 2 can be
designed to their full plastic moment capacity, pyS (Section 3.8.2).
No limitations on thickness are given in relation to brittle fracture; the
limitations for carbon steel do not apply due to the superior toughness of
stainless steel and the insensitivity of austenitic versions (see Section 2) to a
temperature-controlled ductile-brittle transition.
However, there will be
practical limits on thickness for cold forming of members (approximately
20 mm for the austenitic grades and 15 mm for the duplex grades).
1.3
General design principles
The aims in designing a stainless steel structure are no different from those in
carbon steel structures; a structure should be designed and fabricated so that:
•
it remains fit for use during its intended life
•
it can sustain the loads which may occur during construction, installation
and usage

In this publication, reference is made to both the European grade designation (e.g.
1.4301) and to the more familiar American (AISI) grade designation systems (e.g. 304).

•
damage due to accidental loads will be localised
•
it has adequate durability in relation to maintenance costs
•
it retains its original appearance.
In addition to these considerations the design of a structure should take account
of the following:
•
safe transport and handling
•
safe means of interconnection
•
stability during erection.
Created on 01 June 2012

The above requirements can be satisfied by using suitable materials, appropriate
design and detailing and by specifying quality control procedures for
construction. If necessary, a maintenance programme may also be specified.
The engineer responsible for the overall stability of the structure should have an
overview of stainless steel design considerations.
Structures should be designed by considering all relevant limit states. Four
classes of limit states are recognised: ultimate limit states, serviceability limit
states, accidental limit states and durability limit states. Ultimate limit states are
those that, if exceeded, can lead to collapse of part or the whole of the
structure, endangering the safety of people.
Serviceability limit states
correspond to states beyond which specified service criteria are no longer met.
Accidental limit states relate to extreme events that the structure is required to
survive but without the need for further reserve of strength. Durability limit
states can be regarded as subsets of the ultimate and serviceability limit states,
depending on whether the corrosion affects the strength of the structure or its
aesthetic appearance. Examples of the key factors for these limit states are
given below:
Ultimate Limit State
•
Strength (including general yielding, rupture, buckling and transformation
into a mechanism).
•
Stability against over-turning and sway.
•
Fracture due to fatigue.
Serviceability Limit State
•
Deflection.
•
Vibration (e.g. wind induced oscillation).
•
Repairable damage due to fatigue.
•
Creep.
Accidental Limit State
•
Fire.
•
Explosion.
•
Seismic loading.

Durability Limit State
•
Corrosion.
•
Metallurgical stability.
Load factors in accordance with BS 5950-1 may be used for the serviceability
and ultimate limit state design of stainless steel. In this guide, member forces
arising from factored loads are referred to as design forces (e.g. design shear
force). Load factors in accordance with BS 5950-8[11] may be used for fire
loading (see Section 6.1).

For stainless steel, durability limit states are as important as the ultimate and
serviceability limit states. Durability can be considered by appropriate material
selection and detailing of members and joints. It is not only an important
consideration throughout the design phase but also during fabrication and
erection.

PROPERTIES AND SELECTION OF

2.1
Basic stress-strain behaviour
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
The stress-strain behaviour of stainless steel differs from that of carbon steels in
a number of respects. The most important difference is in the shape of the
stress-strain curve. Whereas carbon steel typically exhibits linear elastic
behaviour up to the yield stress and a plateau before strain hardening, stainless
steel has a more rounded response with no well-defined yield stress (see
Figure 2.1). Stainless steel ‘yield’ strengths are generally quoted in terms of a
proof strength defined for a particular offset permanent strain (conventionally
the 0.2% strain), as indicated in Figure 2.1, which shows typical experimental
stress-strain curves. The curves shown are representative of the range of
material likely to be supplied and should not be used for design. For 1.4301
(304) and 1.4401 (316) steels, the two curves shown indicate the extreme values
from a series of tests and thus they represent a scatter band.
Stainless steels can absorb considerable impact without fracturing due to their
excellent ductility (especially the austenitic grades) and their strain hardening
characteristics. The work required to fracture the material is proportional to the
area under the stress-strain curve.

The European material standard for stainless steel is BS EN 10088, Stainless
Steels[12]. The Parts are:
•
Part 1, List of stainless steels, gives the chemical compositions and
reference data on some physical properties such as modulus of elasticity, E.
•
Part 2, Technical delivery conditions for sheet, plate and strip for general
purposes, gives the technical properties and chemical compositions for the
materials used either as flat products or for the cold forming of structural
sections.
•
Part 3, Technical delivery conditions for semi-finished products, bars, rods
and sections for general purposes, gives the technical properties and
chemical compositions for the materials used in long products.
BS EN 10088-2 covers the grades used in most construction applications. (It
partly replaces BS 1449-2[13], which also covered heat-resisting steels.) The
applicable standards for dimensional tolerances are specified in BS EN 10088-2.
Different minimum mechanical properties are given for cold rolled strip (up to 6
mm thick), hot rolled strip (up to 12 mm thick) and hot rolled plate (up to 75
mm thick).
The designation systems adopted in BS EN 10088 are the European steel
number and a steel name.

The most commonly used grade in structural applications is 1.4301 (304), which
is a basic chromium-nickel austenitic grade. Grade 1.4401 (316) is also widely
used; it contains molybdenum in addition to chromium and nickel, which
enhances its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. The low carbon
versions of these grades are 1.4307 (304L) and 1.4404 (316L).
In the past, grades 1.4301 and 1.4401 had significantly higher carbon levels,
with implications for corrosion behaviour2. Either the ‘L’ grade, or a stabilised
steel such as 1.4541 (321) had to be used where there was concern about
corrosion performance in the as-welded condition.
However, using modern steelmaking methods, the standard carbon austenitic
grades now have carbon contents of 0.05% or below, so the grade distinction is
less important. The presence of weld heat tint is more likely to be a cause of
corrosion attack in the welded condition than any effect of the carbon content
slightly exceeding that of the ‘L’ grades. However, the ‘L’ grades remain the
preferred choice for optimum corrosion performance after welding. Stabilised
grades can be considered as alternatives to the ‘L’ grades and can be useful
where elevated temperature strength is of concern. Where necessary, guidance
2
Carbon present in the steel reacts with chromium and precipitates chromium carbides
on grain boundaries under certain thermal cycles, e.g. in the weld heat affected zones
(HAZ). The local loss of chromium from the boundary region into the carbide particles
allows preferential intercrystalline corrosion attack and the steel is said to be sensitized,
or suffer from weld decay (see Section 2.2.5).

on the need for a stabilised or ‘L’ grade steel for a particular fabrication should
be sought from the steel supplier or fabricator.
Table 2.2 presents the values of the mechanical properties of the stainless steel
grades covered in this publication. The values of the 0.2% proof stress
specified in BS EN 10088 are generally about 15 N/mm2 higher than those for
the corresponding grades in the superseded standard BS 1449-2[13]. Due to their
higher carbon content, the standard carbon grades 1.4301 (304) and 1.4401
(316) tend to have slightly higher proof strength values than the corresponding
low carbon grades.

These are addressed in BS EN ISO 3506, Corrosion-resistant stainless steel
fasteners[14]. The specification gives chemical compositions and mechanical
properties for fasteners in the austenitic, martensitic and ferritic groups.
Alternative materials not specifically covered in the specification are permitted
if they meet the physical and mechanical property requirements and have
equivalent corrosion resistance.
In BS EN ISO 3506, bolt and nut materials are classified by a letter: ‘A’ for
austenitic, ‘F’ for ferritic and ‘C’ for martensitic. To obtain the best corrosion
resistance, it is recommended that austenitic fasteners are used. The letter is

followed by a number (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) that reflects the corrosion resistance, ‘1’
representing the least durable and ‘4’ and ‘5’ the most durable.
Steel grade A1 is specially designed for machining. Due to high sulphur
content, the steels within this grade have lower resistance to corrosion than
corresponding steels with normal sulphur content. Care should be exercised if
Grade A1 fasteners are being considered, see Section 2.3.1.
Steels of grade A2 have equivalent corrosion resistance to grade 1.4301 (304).
Steels of grade A3 are stabilised stainless steels with equivalent corrosion
resistance to grade 1.4541 (321). (A stabilised steel is one that contains an
addition of a strong carbide-forming agent such as titanium, which reacts
preferentially with carbon and prevents formation of chromium carbides – see
Section 2.2.1.)
Steels of grade A4 contain molybdenum and have equivalent corrosion
resistance to grade 1.4401 (316).

Steels of grade A5 are stabilised molybdenum-bearing stainless steels with
properties of grade 1.4571 (320) steel.
Austenitic fasteners can be obtained in three ultimate strength levels (known as
property classes), see Table 2.3. Note that the mechanical properties must be
agreed between the user and manufacturer for fasteners larger than M24 for
property classes 70 and 80 as the values depend on the alloy and manufacturing
method.
The condition of the alloy in property class 50 fasteners is soft, resulting in the
highest corrosion resistance. Fasteners in this property class are likely to be
non-magnetic. Property classes 70 and 80 are formed by cold working
(drawing). In this condition, the steel is likely to be magnetic and the corrosion
resistance may be slightly lower than class 50. Property class 50 fasteners
having machined threads may be more prone to thread galling, see Section 7.6.

ancillary components.

Castings
Cast stainless steels generally have a different chemical composition and
structure; this results in more varied mechanical properties than their wrought
counterparts. Cast forms usually have similar corrosion resistance to the
wrought forms. BS 3100[15] and BS EN 10283[16] give specifications for
stainless steel castings for general engineering purposes.
Cast stainless steels have been used for a variety of fixings such as pin
connections, hinges for dock gates and specific architectural features in exposed
structures such as atrium roofs. They may also be used for load-bearing
components where tight tolerances are required and when welding distortion
would be too great. For large numbers of small and intricate fixings, castings
are likely to be an attractive alternative to wrought fixings.
The guidance in this publication is confined to wrought stainless steels. For
castings, it is usually necessary to carry out tests to verify the strength and
durability characteristics. Guidance on the use of castings in construction is
available[17].
2.2.2 Design values of properties
Flat Products
The value of the modulus of elasticity, E is given by BS EN 10088-1 as
200,000 N/mm2 for all the grades of stainless steel commonly used in
construction. This value may be used in any buckling analysis. For estimating
deflections, the secant modulus, Es is more appropriate; see Section 4.4.8.
The value of Poisson’s ratio, ν can be taken as 0.3. The value of the shear
modulus, G for these grades can be taken as 76,900 N/mm2.
For design strength, three options may be considered: minimum specified
values, verified material test data and mill certificate data.
11
P291: Structural design of stainless steel
Discuss me ...
(i) Design using minimum specified values
Take the design strength, py, as the minimum specified 0.2% proof strength
in BS EN 10088-2 and take the ultimate strength as the minimum specified
ultimate tensile strength in BS EN 10088-2.
(ii) Design using test data
This should only be considered as an option where tensile testing has been
carried out on coupons cut from the plate or sheet from which the members
are to be formed or fabricated. It is recommended that the average result
of at least three test coupons, orientated in the direction of the member
axis, should be used. The designer should also be satisfied that the tests
have been carried out to a recognised standard, e.g. BS EN 10002-1[18], and
that the procedures adopted by the fabricator are such that the member will
be actually made from the tested material and positioned correctly within
the structure.
Given appropriate QA procedures to satisfy the above requirements, it
should then be permissible to take the design value of the 0.2% proof stress
as:
py = σ0.2 / 1.1
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
where σ0.2 is the average test value of the 0.2% proof stress.
It is suggested that the ultimate tensile strength should still be based on the
minimum specified ultimate tensile strength given in BS EN 10088-2.
(iii) Design using mill certificate data
Measured values of the 0.2% proof stress are given on the mill (or release)
certificate. The design value of the 0.2% proof stress can be taken as:
py = σm0.2 / 1.2
where σm0.2 is the average value of the 0.2% proof stress as given on the
mill certificate.
It is suggested that the ultimate tensile strength should still be based on the
minimum specified ultimate tensile strength given in BS EN 10088-2.
Fasteners
For calculating the capacity of fasteners under tension, shear or their
combination, the design strength should be based on the minimum specified
stress at 0.2% permanent strain or on the ultimate tensile strength, as explained
in Section 5.2.2.
2.2.3 Fatigue
Carbon steel rules for determining fatigue behaviour can safely be applied to
stainless steel.

Discuss me ...
2.2.4 Physical properties
Physical properties at room temperature of the selected grades in the annealed
condition (i.e. fully softened by a controlled heating and cooling cycle) are
shown in Table 2.4. Physical properties may vary slightly with product form
and size but such variations are usually not of critical importance to the
application.
From a structural point of view, the most important physical property is the
coefficient of thermal expansion; for the austenitic grades, it differs
considerably from that for carbon steel (which is approximately 12 x 10−6/EC).
The effects of differential thermal expansion should be considered in design.
Annealed austenitic stainless steels which have not been cold worked are not
magnetic whilst duplex grades are magnetic.
Where the non-magnetic
properties of the austenitic grades are important to the application, care must be
exercised in selecting appropriate welding consumables to minimise the ferrite
content in the weldment. Heavy cold working, particularly of the lean alloyed
austenitic steel, can also increase magnetic permeability. Subsequent annealing
will restore the low magnetic permeability properties. It is recommended that
further advice be sought for non-magnetic applications from the stainless steel
producer.

2.2.5 Durability
Stainless steels are generally very corrosion resistant and will perform
satisfactorily in most environments. The limit of corrosion resistance of a given
stainless steel depends on its constituent elements, which means that each grade
has a slightly different response when exposed to a corrosive environment.
Care is therefore needed to select the most appropriate grade of stainless steel
for a given application. Generally, the higher the level of corrosion resistance
required, the greater the cost of the material. For example, grade 1.4401 (316)
steel costs more than grade 1.4301 (304) because this grade contains
molybdenum and more nickel.
13
P291: Structural design of stainless steel
Discuss me ...
The most common reasons for a metal to fail to live up to expectations
regarding corrosion resistance are:
(a) incorrect assessment of the environment or exposure to unexpected
conditions, e.g. unsuspected contamination by chloride ions
(b) the way in which the stainless steel has been worked or treated may
introduce a state not envisaged in the initial assessment.
Although stainless steel may be subject to discolouration and staining (often due
to carbon steel contamination), it is extremely durable in buildings. In
aggressive industrial and marine environments, tests have shown no indication
of reduction in component capacity, even where a small amount of weight loss
occurred. However, unsightly rust staining on external surfaces may still be
regarded as a failure by the user. As well as careful material grade selection,
good detailing and workmanship can significantly reduce the likelihood of
staining and corrosion; practical guidance is given in Section 7. Experience
indicates that any serious corrosion problem is most likely to show up in the
first two or three years of service.
In certain aggressive environments, some grades of stainless steel will be
susceptible to localised attack. Six mechanisms are described below, although
the last three are very rarely encountered in building structures.

Pitting
Pitting is a localised form of corrosion which can occur as a result of exposure
to specific environments, most notably those containing chlorides. In most
structural applications, the extent of pitting is likely to be superficial and the
reduction in section of a component is negligible. However, corrosion products
can stain architectural features. A less tolerant view of pitting should be
adopted for services such as ducts, piping and containment structures. If there
is a known pitting hazard, then molybdenum-bearing stainless steels, e.g.
1.4401 (316), should be selected.
Crevice corrosion
Crevice corrosion is a localised form of attack which is initiated by the
extremely low availability of oxygen in a crevice. It is only likely to be a
problem in stagnant solutions where a build-up of chlorides can occur. The
severity of crevice corrosion is very dependent on the geometry of the crevice;
the narrower (< 25 µm) and deeper the crevice, the easier is crevice attack
initiated. Crevices typically occur between nuts and washers or around the
thread of a screw or the shank of a bolt. Crevices can also occur in welds
which fail to penetrate and under deposits on the steel surface.
Bimetallic corrosion
Bimetallic (galvanic) corrosion may occur when dissimilar metals are in contact
in a common electrolyte (e.g. rain, condensation etc.), forming a galvanic
corrosion cell. If current flows between the two, the less noble metal (the
anode) corrodes at a faster rate than would have occurred if the metals were not
in contact.
The rate of corrosion also depends on the relative areas of the metals in contact,
the temperature and the composition of the electrolyte. In particular, the larger
the area of the ‘noble’ cathode in relation to that of the anode, the greater the
rate of attack. Adverse area ratios are likely to occur with fasteners and at
14

joints. Bolts made from carbon steel (which is less noble than stainless steel)
in stainless steel members should be avoided because the ratio of the area of the
stainless steel to the carbon steel is large and the bolts will be subject to
aggressive attack. Conversely, the rate of attack of a carbon steel member by a
stainless steel bolt is much slower. It is usually helpful to draw on previous
experience in similar sites, because dissimilar metals can often be safely coupled
with no adverse effects under conditions of occasional condensation or
dampness, as the conductivity of the electrolyte is usually low.
The prediction of bimetallic corrosion is difficult because the corrosion rate is
determined by a number of interrelated issues. The use of corrosion potential
tables ignores the presence of surface oxide films and the effects of area ratios
and different solution (electrolyte) chemistry. Therefore, uninformed use of
these tables may produce erroneous results. They should be used with care and
only for initial assessment.

Austenitic stainless steels usually form the cathode in a bimetallic couple and
therefore do not suffer corrosion. An exception is the couple with copper,
which should generally be avoided except under benign conditions. Contact
between austenitic stainless steels and zinc or aluminium may result in some
additional corrosion of the latter two metals. This is unlikely to be significant
structurally, but the resulting white/grey powder may be deemed unsightly.
Bimetallic corrosion may be prevented by excluding water from the detail (e.g.
by painting or taping over the assembled joint) or isolating the metals from each
other (e.g. by painting the contact surfaces of the dissimilar metals). Isolation
around bolted connections can be achieved by non-conductive plastic or rubber
gaskets and nylon or teflon washers and bushes. These systems may be time
consuming to install in large structures and may necessitate expensive postinstallation QA checks.
The general behaviour of metals in bimetallic contact in rural, urban, industrial
and coastal environments is documented in PD 6484 Commentary on corrosion
at bimetallic contacts and its alleviation[19].
Stress corrosion cracking
The development of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) requires the simultaneous
presence of tensile stresses and specific environmental factors unlikely to be
encountered in normal building atmospheres. The stresses do not need to be
very high in relation to the proof stress of the material and may be due to
loading or residual effects from manufacturing processes such as welding or
bending. Caution should be exercised when stainless steel members containing
high residual stresses (e.g. due to cold working) are used in chloride rich
environments (e.g. swimming pools, marine, offshore). Guidance on the
selection of the most appropriate grade of stainless steel in swimming pool
environments is available[20].
Duplex stainless steels have greater resistance to stress corrosion cracking than
the austenitic stainless steels covered in this guide. Higher alloy austenitic
stainless steels (not covered in this guide) have been developed for applications
where SCC is a corrosion hazard.
General (uniform) corrosion
General corrosion is much less severe in stainless steel than in other steels. It
only occurs when the stainless steel is at a pH value of less than or equal to 1.0.
15
P291: Structural design of stainless steel
Discuss me ...
This form of corrosion is not a problem for the grades selected in this guide
when used in structural applications. Reference should be made to tables in
manufacturers' literature, or the advice of a corrosion engineer should be
sought, if the stainless steel is to come into contact with chemicals.
Intergranular attack and weld decay
When austenitic stainless steels are subject to prolonged heating in the range
450°C to 850°C, the carbon in the steel diffuses to the grain boundaries and
precipitates chromium carbide. This removes chromium from the solid solution
and leaves a lower chromium content adjacent to the grain boundaries. Steel in
this condition is termed sensitized. The grain boundaries become prone to
preferential attack on subsequent exposure to a corrosive environment. This
phenomenon is known as weld decay when it occurs in the heat affected zone of
a weldment.

There are three ways to avoid intergranular corrosion:
•
using steel having a low carbon content (i.e. 0.03% maximum),
•
using steel stabilised with titanium or niobium (these elements combine
preferentially to chromium with carbon to form stable particles, thereby
reducing the risk of forming chromium carbide),
•
heat treating (solution annealing) the steel. (This method is rarely used in
practice.)
Grades of stainless steel with a low carbon content (0.03% maximum) up to
about 20 mm thick should not suffer from intergranular corrosion after arc
welding.
2.2.6 Detailing to improve durability
The most important step in preventing corrosion problems is selecting an
appropriate grade of stainless steel with suitable fabrication procedures for the
given environment. However, after specifying a particular steel, much can be
achieved in realising the full potential of the steel's resistance by careful
attention to detailing. Anti-corrosion actions should ideally be considered at the
planning stage and at the latest on the drawing board.
Table 2.5 gives a check list for consideration. Not all points would give the
best detail from a structural strength point of view and neither are the points
intended to be applicable to all environments. In particular, in environments of
low corrosivity or where regular maintenance is carried out, many would not be
required. Figure 2.2 illustrates poor and good design features for durability.

corrosion resistance.

Selection of materials
2.3.1 Grades
The selection of the
environment of the
maintenance of the
requirements, where
engineering needs to
correct grade of stainless steel must take into account the
application, the fabrication route, surface finish and the
structure. Although the material has low maintenance
it is selected for use in a corrosive environment, corrosion
be appropriately considered.
The first step is to characterise the service environment. The corrosiveness of
an environment is governed by a number of variables such as humidity, air
temperature, presence of chemicals and their concentration, oxygen content, etc.
Moisture must be present for corrosion to occur. For example, heated and
ventilated buildings can be classified as dry and corrosion is unlikely to occur in
such environments. The risk of condensation is higher in areas such as kitchens
and laundries. Coastal areas can be very corrosive, due to the presence of high
concentrations of chloride ions in the air, and structures exposed to sea spray
are particularly at risk to corrosive attack.
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
Having characterised the general environment, it is then necessary to consider
the effect of the direct surroundings on the stainless steel (e.g. elements and
substances which the material is likely to come into contact with). The surface
condition, the temperature of the steel and the anticipated stress could also be
important parameters.
Consideration should then be given to mechanical properties. The different
types of loading should be defined (e.g. service loads, cyclic loads, vibrations,
seismic loads). The effect of heating/cooling cycles may also need to be
quantified. Ease of fabrication, availability of product forms, surface finish and
cost also need to be considered.
Assessing the suitability of grades is best approached by referring to experience
of stainless steels in similar applications and environments. Table 2.6, which is
based on Figure 1 from Advantages for Architects[21], gives guidance for
selecting suitable grades for atmospheric environments. It is based on long term
exposure of stainless steel sheet samples at a variety of locations. Expert advice
should always be sought for more specialist applications (e.g. stainless steel
immersed or in contact with chemicals).
Caution should be exercised when considering the use of ‘free-machining’
stainless steels for fasteners. The addition of sulphur in the composition of
these steels (commonly designated 1.4305 (303) in the austenitic class) renders
them more liable to corrosion than their non-treated counterparts (1.4301 (304)
in this case), especially in industrial and marine environments. This applies to
fasteners in BS EN ISO 3506 grade A1 materials.
If there is any doubt as to which grade should be used for a particular
application, advice should be sought. Further technical information on stainless
steel can be obtained from the electronic advisory service on the British
Stainless Steel Association web site (http://www.bssa.org.uk) Topics covered
include corrosion resistance, material selection, mechanical and physical
properties, welding and specifications.

2.3.2 Availability of product forms
General types of product form
Sheet, plate and bar products are all widely available in the grades of stainless
steel considered in this guide. Tubular products are available in austenitic
grades and also the duplex grade 1.4462 (2205). Tubular products in the
duplex grade 1.4362 (SAF 2304) are not widely available as this is a relatively
new grade to the construction industry, although it has been used for some years
for offshore blast walls.
There is a limited range and availability of rolled sections (angles, channels,
tees, rectangular hollow sections and I-sections) in standard austenitic grades
such as 1.4301 (304) and 1.4401 (316) but none for duplex grades. (Note that a
wider range of rolled sections is available for the normal carbon content grades
1.4301 and 1.4401 than for the low carbon content grades, 1.4307 (304L) and
1.4404 (316L).) Sections may also be produced by cold forming (rolling or
bending), or fabricated by welding.
Cold forming
It is important that early discussion with potential fabricators takes place to
ascertain cold forming limits, as stainless steels require higher forming loads
than carbon steels. The length of brake-pressed cold formed sections is
necessarily limited by the size of machine, or by power capability in the case of
thicker or stronger materials. Duplex grades require approximately twice the
forming loads used for the austenitic materials and consequently the possible
range of duplex sections is more limited. Furthermore, because of the lower
ductility in the duplex material, more generous bending radii may need to be
used. Further information may be found in Section 7.3.2.

P291: Structural design of stainless steel

Surface finish
Surface finish can have an important effect on the corrosion resistance and
aesthetic appeal of a structure. There is a wide variety of finishes available that
are suitable for structural and architectural applications. These range from
standard ex-steel mill finishes to special polished (mechanically or
electropolished), textured and coloured finishes. It should be noted that
although the various finishes are standardised, variability in processing
introduces differences in appearance between manufacturers and even from a
single producer.
Bright finishes are frequently used in architectural
applications, however, they can exaggerate any out-of-flatness of the material,
particularly on panel surfaces. Rigidised, embossed, textured, patterned or
profiled sheets with a rigid supporting frame will alleviate this tendency.
Surface finishes are specified in BS EN 10088-2. Further information on
surfaces finishes is given in the Architects’ guide to stainless steel[5].
Fasteners
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
Fasteners to BS EN ISO 3506 property class 70 are the most widely available.
Certain size restrictions apply to fasteners in property classes 70 and 80, see
Table 2.3. It is possible to have ‘specials’ made to order and indeed, this
sometimes produces an economical solution.
Fasteners can be produced by a number of techniques, e.g. machining, cold
forming and forging. Machined threads should be used with caution in very
aggressive environments (e.g. marine), due to potential problems with crevice
corrosion. Rolled threads are to be preferred because they are also generally
stronger than machined threads and provide greater resistance to thread galling.
Stainless steel washers, nuts, studs, rivets and self-tapping screws are widely
available. Austenitic grade 1.4567 (394) stainless steel contains copper, which
reduces the level of work hardening and permits easier cold heading; it is used
for rivets, bolts, screws and nuts. Ferritic grade 1.4016 (430) steel is also used
for rivets.
Stainless steel self-tapping screws are mostly used in aluminium, plastic or
wood, although they may be used in any material in which a hole is drilled
first. Stainless steel screws with carbon steel drill heads have been developed
for roofing and cladding applications. Care is required when stainless steel selftapping screws are used in a stainless steel base material, in order to avoid
seizure of the screw or stripping its thread due to the strain-hardening properties
of the stainless steel base material. It is recommended that procedure trials are
carried out to determine pull-out strengths of such connections.
Stainless steel is particularly useful for fine threads, e.g. fasteners less than
5 mm in diameter, because it is difficult to apply protective coating on such
small scale components. Stainless steel HSFG (high strength friction grip) bolts
are not generally available (see Section 5.4).

DESIGN OF CROSS-SECTIONS
3.1
General
This Section is concerned with the local behaviour of members. The local
capacity of a member is dependent on the capacity of the constituent elements of
the cross-section. Elements, and hence the cross-section, may be affected by
local buckling, which reduces their effectiveness to carry load.
The
width-to-thickness ratio of elements that are partly or wholly in compression
determine whether they are subject to local buckling, with a consequential
reduction in the capacity of the cross-section. Elements and cross-sections are
classified as class 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on their susceptibility to local
buckling (see Section 3.8).
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
As in the case of carbon steel rules, a reduced capacity of ‘class 4 slender’
cross-sections may be allowed for in design by applying the effective
width/effective section concept.
The effective section should be used
throughout the design of the member except where specifically noted otherwise.
This reduction need not be made in the design of connections to that element.
It is important to note that flat outstand elements without an edge lip or stiffener
(see Appendix B) with b/t ratios greater than approximately 30 and flat elements
supported otherwise with b/t ratios greater than approximately 75 are likely to
develop visual distortion at the serviceability limit state. Therefore, care should
be taken not to exceed these limits where the exposed surfaces of stainless steel
are important for architectural purposes.
The recommendations in Section 3 and 4 apply to cross-sections with elements
complying with the dimensional limits given in Appendix B.
3.2
Gross cross-section
When calculating gross geometrical section properties, the specified size and
profile of the member or elements should be used. Holes for fasteners need not
be deducted but allowance should be made for larger openings.
3.3
Net area
The net area of a section or element of a section should be taken as its gross
area less appropriate deductions for all openings, including holes for fasteners.
In the deductions for fasteners, the sectional area of the hole in the plane of its
own axis should be deducted, not that of the fastener. Whether holes are
staggered or not, the area to be deducted may be calculated in accordance with
BS 5950-1, clause 3.4.4[10].
22
P291: Structural design of stainless steel
Discuss me ...
3.4
Effective net area
The effective net area, ae, of each element of a cross-section at a connection
with fastener holes may be taken as Ke times its net area but not more than its
gross area, ag where:
Ke = 1.2 for austenitic grades, including 1.4301 (304), 1.4401 (316), 1.4307
(304L) and 1.4404 (316L)
Ke = 1.0 for duplex grades 1.4362 (SAF 2304), 1.4462 (2205)
3.5
Influence of rounded corners
In cross-sections with rounded corners, the influence of rounded corners on
section properties should be allowed for. This may be done with sufficient
accuracy by reducing the properties calculated for an otherwise similar
cross-section with sharp corners using the following approximations:

that:

Flange curling
For unusually wide thin flanges in a profile subjected to flexure, flange curling
(or movement of the flange towards the neutral axis) may occur. The
magnitude of curling, u, for initially straight members, may be estimated from
the following formula, which applies to both compression and tension flanges,

P291: Structural design of stainless steel
Discuss me ...
The effect of flange curling on the capacity of the section should be considered
where u exceeds 5% of the depth of the section. The visual and practical
implications of any degree of flange curling must also be considered. The
effect of flange curling is allowed for by calculating the design resistance with
reference to the deformed cross-section (idealized, for instance, by assuming
that part of the flange is situated nearer the centroid). Conservatively, the depth
of the entire cross-section can be reduced by the amount of flange curling.
3.8
Classification of cross-sections
3.8.1 General
Cross-sections should be classified to determine whether local buckling
influences their capacity. It is necessary to classify each element in a crosssection that is subject to compression (due to a bending moment or an axial
force). Classification thus depends on the proportion of moment or axial load
present in an element and thus can vary along the length of a member and with
the axis of bending under consideration. Classification of an element of a
cross-section is based on its width-to-thickness ratio. The dimensions of these
compression elements should be taken as shown in Figure 3.2.
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
A distinction should be made between the following types of element:
•
outstand elements attached to an adjacent element at one edge only, the
other edge being free.
•
internal elements attached on both longitudinal edges to other elements or
to longitudinal stiffeners which effectively support the element, including:
webs (internal elements perpendicular to the axis of bending) and flanges
(internal elements parallel to the axis of bending).
All compression elements should be classified in accordance with Section 3.8.2.
The classification of a cross-section depends on the highest (least favourable)
class of its constituent compression elements.
Circular hollow sections should be classified separately for axial compression
and for bending.
3.8.2 Classification
In principle, stainless steel cross-sections may be classified in the same way as
those of carbon steel. Classifications are defined as follows:
Class 1 plastic: cross-sections that can develop their plastic moment capacity
(py times the plastic modulus) with the rotation capacity required for plastic
analysis. (Note: only elastic analysis is recommended for stainless steel.)
Elements subject to bending with or without axial compression that meet the
limits for class 1 given in Table 3.1 should be classified as class 1 plastic.
Class 2 compact: cross-sections that can develop their plastic moment capacity
but with limited rotation capacity. Elements subject to bending with or without
axial compression that meet the limits for class 2 given in Table 3.1 should be
classified as class 2 compact.
Class 3 semi-compact: cross-sections that can reach the yield moment (py
times the elastic modulus) but local buckling prevents the development of the
plastic moment capacity. Elements subject to compression that meet the limits
for class 3 given in Table 3.1 should be classified as class 3 semi-compact.
25
P291: Structural design of stainless steel
Discuss me ...
Class 4 slender: cross-sections are those in which local buckling is liable to
prevent the development of the yield moment. Elements subject to compression
that do not meet the limits for class 3 given in Table 3.1 should be classified as
class 4 slender (see Section 3.8.4).
As the yield point on the stress-strain curve of non-linear materials is an
arbitrary choice, so are the yield and plastic moments. The obvious definitions
to apply are the elastic and plastic section moduli times a proof stress,
conventionally the 0.2% proof stress (see Section 2.2.2). This proof strength is
designated the design strength, py.

3.8.4 Slender cross-sections
The local buckling resistance of class 4 slender cross-sections may be allowed
for in design by adopting effective section properties. The effective area of a
slender cross-section in compression and/or bending, Aeff, is the gross area of
the cross-section minus the sum of the ineffective areas of each slender element
making up the cross-section. The effective area of each slender element is the
effective breadth beff calculated from Table 3.2 multiplied by the element
thickness. When the cross-section is subject to bending, an effective moment of
inertia Ieff and effective section modulus Zeff also need to be calculated.

For singly symmetric and unsymmetric cross-sections, due allowance should be
made for the additional moments induced in the member due to the shift of the
centroid of the effective cross-section compared to the gross cross-section (see
also Section 8.3.3). These additional moments are obtained by assuming that
the axial compressive force Fc acts at the centroid of the gross cross-section, but
is resisted by an equal and opposite force acting at the centroid of the effective
cross-section that corresponds to the case of a uniform stress equal to the design
strength py acting throughout its effective cross-sectional area. The additional
moments should be taken into account in the checks on cross-section capacity
and member buckling resistance given in Section 4, except where a more
onerous condition occurs if they are omitted.

DESIGN OF MEMBERS
Introduction
The design checks required for stainless steel members are similar to those
carried out for carbon steel members. It is recommended that the forces and
moments in the members are derived from an elastic global analysis. In
verifying the adequacy of the structure to carry the forces, consideration should
be given to overall buckling of members, in addition to the cross-sectional
capacity.
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
A possible design approach for checking against buckling in stainless steel
members is to use the tangent modulus (corresponding to the buckling stress)
instead of the initial modulus (as used in carbon steel rules). Assuming similar
levels of geometric and residual stress imperfections in carbon steel and
stainless steel members, this generally leads to satisfactory results when it is
based on validated carbon steel rules. This approach is therefore available to
the designer but it requires iterative solution techniques and therefore has been
avoided in this guide, for simplicity. In some cases it has been used to derive
effective design curves for use with the initial modulus, thereby removing the
need for the designer to perform the iterations. The design strength, py, should
be obtained by one of the methods outlined in Section 2.2.2.
The Sections below which deal with buckling strength are intended for use with
single, double or point-symmetric uniform sections. The buckling resistance of
members not possessing any longitudinal plane or axis of symmetry should be
verified by tests. Further information on testing stainless steel structural
elements is given in the Euro Inox Design Manual for Structural Stainless
Steel[23].
4.2
Tension members
Members subject to tension only do not suffer any instability due to buckling.
The design of such members needs therefore to be based only on the
cross-section capacity, usually at the connections (see Section 5).
The capacity, Pt, of a cross-section subject to uniform tensile stresses is given
by:
Pt= py Ae
(4.1)
where Ae is the sum of the effective net areas of all the elements of the
cross-section, as determined from Section 3.4.
When members are connected eccentrically to the axis of the member, the
resulting moment should be allowed for (see Section 4.5). However, angles,
channels and T-sections with eccentric end connections may be treated simply as
axially loaded by using a reduced tension capacity.
For a simple tie consisting of a single angle connected through one leg only, a
single channel connected only through the web or a T-section connected only
through the flange, the tension capacity is given by:
For bolted connections: Pt= py (Ae – 0.5a2)
32
(4.2)
P291: Structural design of stainless steel
Discuss me ...
For welded connections: Pt= py (Ag – 0.3a2)
(4.3)
where:
Ag
is the gross cross-sectional area
a2
= Ag − a1
a1
is the gross area of the connected element, taken as the product of its
thickness and the overall leg width for an angle, the overall depth for a
channel or the flange width for a T-section
py
is as defined in Section 2.2.2.
For a simple tie consisting of two angles connected through one leg only, two
channels connected only through the web, or two T-sections connected only
through the flange, the tension capacity is given as follows:

a)
b)
If the tie is connected to both sides of a gusset or section and the
components are interconnected by bolts or welds and held apart and
longitudinally parallel by battens or sold packing pieces in at least two
locations within their length, the tension capacity per component should be
obtained from:
For bolted connections: Pt= py (Ae – 0.25a2)
(4.4)
For welded connections: Pt= py (Ag – 0.15a2)
(4.5)
If the components are both connected to the same side of a gusset or
member, or not interconnected as given in a), the tension capacity per
component should be taken as given in expressions (4.2) and 4.3).
4.3
Compression members
4.3.1 Introduction
In general, members in compression are susceptible to three possible overall
buckling modes:
•
flexural buckling, about either the major or the minor principal axis
•
torsional buckling about the longitudinal axis
•
torsional-flexural buckling.
The critical failure mode depends on the symmetry and dimensions of the
cross-section, and also on the effective lengths of the member about the various
axes. In conventional design of carbon steel hot rolled sections, only flexural
buckling is critical for compression members because of the geometry and
thickness of the section elements. In cold formed sections, however, the
members may be weak in torsion owing to the thinness of the material. Thus, it
is generally necessary to consider the effect of torsion in establishing the critical
failure mode for members in compression.
Doubly symmetric cross-sections (CHS, RHS, I sections, etc.)
Doubly symmetric cross-sections need not be checked for torsional-flexural
buckling since the shear centre coincides with the centroid of the cross-section.
Circular and square hollow sections will not fail by torsional-flexural or
torsional buckling.
33
P291: Structural design of stainless steel
Discuss me ...
For the range of rectangular hollow section sizes typically used in construction,
torsional buckling will not be critical. (Torsional buckling in rectangular hollow
sections need only be considered for sections with unusually high D/B ratios.)
Singly symmetric cross-sections (angles, channels, etc.)
It is necessary to check sections such as single channels and angles for
torsional-flexural buckling, as the shear centre does not coincide with the
centroid of the cross-section.
Point symmetric cross-sections (Z-sections, cruciform sections, etc.)
Torsional buckling will be the critical buckling mode for these sections.
Note that slender sections which are not doubly symmetric should be checked
for the additional bending moment caused by the shift in the neutral axis of the
effective section (see Section 4.5.2).
4.3.2 Local capacity of the cross-section

The capacity of a cross-section subject to compression with a resultant acting
through the centroid of the gross section (class 1, 2 or 3) or the effective section
(class 4), Psq, may be taken as:
Psq = Ag py
for class 1, 2 or 3 cross-sections
(4.6)
Psq = Aeff py
for class 4 cross-sections
(4.7)
where:
Ag
is the gross cross-sectional area
Aeff
is as defined in Section 3.8.4
py
is as defined in Section 2.2.2.
4.3.3 Buckling of axially compressed members
The compression resistance of a member, Pc, may be taken as:
Pc = χ β c A g p y
(4.8)
where:
βc
χ
= 1
for class 1, 2 or 3 cross-sections
= Aeff /Ag
for class 4 slender cross-sections
is a reduction factor, which may be determined from either Figure 4.1
or Table 4.1.
In general, the reduction factor, χ, depends on:
•
the non-dimensional slenderness of the gross section, λ
•
whether the section is welded or cold formed
•
the mode of buckling.
It can be seen from Table 4.1 and Figure 4.2 that different curves are applicable
to the different modes of buckling. It is therefore necessary to calculate values
for χ for each buckling mode in order to determine which mode is critical.

reference to carbon steel rules in accordance with Table 22, BS 5950-1[10].

Members in bending
A member is in simple bending under loads acting normal to the longitudinal
axis if it is connected in such a way that there is no tensile or compressive end
loading and that the loads and reactions act through the shear centre (i.e. there
is no twisting). The following criteria should be considered when designing a
beam in simple bending:
•
Yielding of the cross-section
•
Local buckling (slender section only)
•
Lateral-torsional buckling
•
Shear capacity and shear buckling
•
Local strength at points of loading or reaction
•
Deflection at the Serviceability Limit State.
The effects of shear lag and flange curling may also have to be considered in
design depending on the member geometry, see Sections 3.6 and 3.7.
For design of members subject to combined loading, see Section 4.5.

4.4.2 Cross-sections subject to bending moment and low shear
Where the applied design shear force Fv ≤ 0.6 Pv, the moment capacity, Mc, of
a cross-section should be taken as:
class 1 or class 2 cross-sections:
Mc = py S
(4.19)
class 3 cross-sections:
Mc = py Z
(4.20)
class 4 cross-sections:
Mc = py Zeff
(4.21)
where:
S
is the plastic section modulus of the cross-section
Z
is the elastic section modulus of the cross-section
Zeff
is the effective section modulus of a class 4 slender cross-section (see
Section 3.8.4).
To avoid irreversible deformation at serviceability, the value of Mc for plastic
and compact cross-sections should be limited to 1.2pyZ for simply supported
beams and cantilevers. For other cases, a general limit of 1.5pyZ should be
applied; a full explanation is given in the Advisory Desk Note, AD195[24].

4.4.3 Cross-sections subject to bending moment and high shear
Where Fv > 0.6 Pv, the design moment capacity, Mc, of a cross-section should
be taken as:
class 1 or class 2 cross-sections:
M c = p y (S − ρ S v
class 3 cross-sections:
M c = p y ( Z − ρ S v 1.5 )
class 4 cross-sections:
M c = p y ( Z eff − ρ S v 1.5 ) (4.24)
where
)
ρ = [ 2 ( F v Pv ) − 1 ] 2

(4.23)
(4.25)
For sections with equal flanges, Sv is the plastic modulus of the shear area Av.
For sections with unequal flanges, Sv should be taken as the plastic modulus of
the gross section less the plastic modulus of that part of the section remaining
after deduction of the shear area.
4.4.4 Lateral-torsional buckling
The possibility of lateral-torsional buckling may be discounted in the following
instances:
•
where bending takes place about the minor axis only
•
for circular and square hollow sections, and circular and square solid bars
•
for beams laterally restrained throughout their length by adequate means
•
where the lateral slenderness parameter λ LT < 0.4 (see below).

In all other cases (i.e. in unrestrained beams subject to major axis moment Mx)
every segment length between lateral restraints must satisfy the following
conditions:
M x ≤ M b m LT
M x ≤ M cx
and
(4.26)
where:
Mcx
is the moment capacity of the section from Section 4.4.2
Mb
is the buckling resistance moment
mLT
is the equivalent uniform moment factor for lateral-torsional buckling.
This takes account of the fact that the theory from which Mb is
obtained assumes a uniform moment throughout the segment. Values
of mLT are given in Table 18 of BS 5950-1.
The buckling resistance moment, Mb is given by:
Mb = χLT β W Sx py ≤ M cx
(4.27)

= Zx /Sx for semi-compact cross-sections
= Zx eff /Sx for slender cross-sections.
χLT
is a reduction factor for lateral torsional buckling, which may be
determined from either Figure 4.3 or Table 4.2.
The reduction factor χLT depends on the non-dimensional slenderness of the
beam, λ LT and the type of section.
The non-dimensionless slenderness λ LT is defined as
λ LT
=
λ LT
py
π
E
(4.28)
and λLT is the equivalent slenderness, as defined in BS 5950-1, clause 4.3.6.7.
The value of λLT is given by:
λ LT = uvλ
βW
(4.29)
= L E / ry
(4.30)
where:
λ
LE
is the effective length for lateral torsional buckling, as defined in
BS 5950-1, clause 4.3.5
ry
is the radius of gyration about the minor axis
u
is the buckling parameter
v
is the slenderness factor, as defined in BS 5950-1, clause 4.3.6.7.
Table 4.2 and Figure 4.3 show the buckling curves (χLT versus λ LT ) for lateral
torsional buckling. The imperfection factor α may be taken as 0.34 for cold
formed sections and as 0.76 for welded sections. λ0 should be taken as 0.4.

Note that for single angles, the applied moments should be resolved into
moments about the principal u-and v-axes. Guidance on calculating λLT for
single angles can be obtained from BS 5950-1, clause B.2.9. The angle will
also need to be checked for the effects of biaxial bending in accordance with
Section 4.5.

4.4.5 Shear buckling resistance of webs
Where the ratio
d / t ≥ 17.1 ε kτ
for transversely stiffened webs, or
d / t ≥ 39.5 ε for unstiffened webs, the shear capacity may be limited by the
shear buckling resistance. The parameter kτ is defined in expressions (4.37) and
(4.38) below.
The following approach for determining the shear buckling resistance is based
on the guidance in Eurocode 3 Part 1.5[25].
The shear buckling resistance Vb of a web may be obtained from:
V b = (V w + V f ) ,
but Vb ≤ Pv
(4.31)
where:
Vw
is the simple shear buckling resistance
Vf
is the flange-dependent shear buckling resistance (for simplicity, Vf can
be neglected)
The simple shear buckling resistance, Vw, can be obtained from:
Vw = d t q w
(4.32)
in which q w = χ w p yw / 3
where:
qw
is the shear buckling strength of the web
χw
is a reduction factor for simple shear buckling resistance
d
is the clear web depth between flanges (refer to the plate girder in
Figure 3.2)
t
is the thickness of the web
42
P291: Structural design of stainless steel

is the design strength of the web (py is as defined in Section 2.2.2).
pyw
For webs with transverse stiffeners at the supports, with or without intermediate
transverse stiffeners, χw is related to the slenderness parameter λ w as follows:

If the flange resistance is not completely utilized in withstanding the bending
moment (M < Mf, where M is the applied moment and Mf is the moment
capacity of the flanges alone), then a contribution Vf from the flanges may be
included in the shear buckling resistance. For symmetric plate girders (without
lipped flanges) this is obtained from:

4.4.6 Web bearing, crippling and buckling
Provided that the flanges are laterally restrained, the resistance of an unstiffened
web to forces from concentrated loads or support reactions will be governed by
one of three possible failure modes:
•
bearing of the web close to the flange, accompanied by plastic deformation
of the flange,
•
crippling of the web, in the form of localised buckling and crushing of the
web close to the flange, accompanied by plastic deformation of the flange,
•
buckling of the web over most of the depth of the member.

For cold formed structural sections, the guidance in BS 5950-5, clause 5.3 for
carbon steel can be adopted[26].
For welded structural sections, the following approach should be adopted, based
on the guidance in Eurocode 3 Part 1.5[25].
The design transverse force, Fx should not exceed the resistance of the web to
transverse forces, i.e.:
Fx
≤
p yw L eff t
(4.42)
where Leff is the effective length for resistance to transverse forces, and is a
function of the stiff bearing length, b1 and effective loaded length, ly. Leff is
determined from the following rules that are applicable for welded girders
provided that the flanges are held in position in the lateral direction either by
their own stiffness or by bracings.
In addition the effect of the transverse force on the moment resistance of the
member should be considered.
To determine Leff, a distinction should be made between three types of force
application, as follows:
•
Forces applied through one flange and resisted by shear forces in the web
(Figure 4.4, Type a).
•
Forces applied to one flange and transferred through the web directly to the
other flange (Figure 4.4, Type b).
•
Forces applied through one flange close to an unstiffened end (Figure 4.4,
Type c).

Length of stiff bearing
The length of stiff bearing, b1, on the flange is the distance over which the
applied force is effectively distributed and it may be determined by dispersion of
load through solid steel material at a slope of 1:1, see Figure 4.5. However, b1
should not be taken as larger than d.

If several concentrated loads are closely spaced, the resistance should be
checked for each individual load as well as for the total load with b1 as the
centre-to-centre distance between outer loads.

4.4.7 Transverse stiffeners
Transverse stiffeners at supports and at positions where significant external
forces are applied should preferably be double-sided and symmetric about the
centreline of the web. These stiffeners should be checked for cross-section
crushing and buckling. Intermediate stiffeners not subject to external forces
need only be checked for buckling.
The effective cross-section to be used in the buckling check should include a
width of web plate either side of the stiffener equal to 11 εt but not greater than
the actual width of web available (e.g. at the end of a member) nor greater than
0.5 a where a is the spacing of transverse stiffeners.
The buckling resistance of symmetric stiffeners may be determined from
Section 4.3.3 using α= 0.76, λ0 = 0.2 and an effective length of not less than
0.75 d, or more if appropriate for the conditions of restraint (e.g. for
intermediate stiffeners not joined to both flanges). For single-sided or other
asymmetric stiffeners the resulting eccentricity should be allowed for using
Section 4.5.2.
46
P291: Structural design of stainless steel
Discuss me ...
At supports or at intermediate positions where significant loads are applied, the
buckling resistance should at least be equal to the reaction or applied load.
At other intermediate positions, the compression force Fq in the stiffener may be
calculated from:
=
Fq
Fv − Vw
(4.53)
where:
Fv
is the shear force in the member
Vw
is defined in Section 4.4.5.
The above expression should be evaluated ignoring the presence of the stiffener.
The second moment of area of an intermediate stiffener cross-section, ITS should
satisfy the following:
For
a/d < 2,
I TS ≥ 1.5 d 3 t 3 / a 2
(4.54)
For
a/d ≥ 2,
I TS ≥ 0.75 d t 3

4.4.8 Deflection calculations
The deflection of elastic beams (i.e. those not containing a plastic hinge) may be
estimated by standard structural theory, except that the secant modulus of
elasticity appropriate to the stress level in the beam should be used instead of
Young’s modulus. The non-linear material stress-strain curve (Figure 2.1)
implies that the stiffness of a stainless steel component varies with the stress
level, the stiffness decreasing as the stress increases. Consequently, deflections
are greater than those for carbon steels and it is necessary to use a reduced
modulus to predict the behaviour of members in which high stresses occur.
Using standard structural theory but with the secant modulus corresponding to
the highest level of stress is a conservative method of estimating deflections.
For slender cross-sections and/or members subject to shear lag, an effective
section should be used in the calculations. A first estimate would be to use the
effective section based on the effective widths established in Section 3.8.4.
This can be refined by using an effective section based on the actual stress in
the elements by taking ε in Table 3.1 as:
ε
 275

E


 f 205,000 
=
0.5
(4.56)
where
f
is the actual stress in the element based on the effective cross-section.
The secant modulus, Es, to be used in deflection calculations should be
ascertained for the member with respect to the rolling direction. If the
orientation is not known, or cannot be ensured, then the lesser value of Es
should be assumed. The value of the secant modulus may be obtained as
follows:
Es
=
E st + E sc
(4.57)
2
47
P291: Structural design of stainless steel
Discuss me ...
where Est and Esc are the secant moduli corresponding to the stress in the
tension flange and compression flange respectively.
Values of Est and Esc for a given stress ratio may be read from Table 4.4 using
linear interpolation as necessary. Alternatively, values of the secant moduli Est
and Esc for the appropriate orientation and stress ratio can be estimated from the
following equation using the constants given in Table 4.3.

DESIGN OF CONNECTIONS
5.1
Design considerations and assumptions
The design of stainless steel connections requires particular attention to maintain
optimum corrosion resistance for connections that may become wet. The use of
carbon steel bolts with stainless steel structural elements should always be
avoided.
In situations where the connection is likely to be exposed to moisture, provision
should be made to isolate carbon steel and stainless steel elements to prevent
bimetallic corrosion. In welded connections involving carbon and stainless
steels, it is generally recommended that any paint system applied to the carbon
steel should extend over the weldment and onto the stainless steel by a few
centimetres.
Created on 01 June 2012

The general principles of good detailing practice applicable to carbon steels also
apply to stainless steels and connections should be designed for ease of
fabrication, erection and requirements for subsequent inspection and
maintenance.
Where a connection is subject to impact, vibration, or frequent reversal of
significant stress, welding is the preferred method of joining.
These
connections should also be checked for the effects of fatigue.
5.2
Bolted connections
5.2.1 General
The recommendations of Section 5.2 apply to connections with bolts in
clearance holes where shear, tension or a combination of shear and tension is to
be carried. It is good practice to provide washers under both the bolt head and
the nut.
Shear forces are transferred by bearing between the bolts and the connected
parts. Reliance on shear resistance by frictional forces, as in the case of
friction grip bolted joints used in carbon steel structures, should be avoided in
stainless steel (see Section 5.4). The strength of a connection is to be taken as
the lesser of the strength of the connected parts and that of the fasteners.
Holes can be formed by drilling or punching. However, punching may
introduce crevices that can increase the susceptibility to localised corrosion in
corrosive environments.
The maximum clearances in standard holes are:
•
1 mm for M12 and M14 bolts (M14 is non standard)
•
2 mm for M16 to M24 bolts
•
3 mm for M27 and larger bolts
The following limitations on edge distance, end distance and bolt spacing should
be observed (Figure 5.1 defines the notation):

Edge distance, end distance and bolt spacing
These minimum distances are specified to prevent plate tearout and to allow
sufficient clearance for tools to install the bolts. The limits are broadly
consistent with BS 5950-1[10]. The maximum spacing of bolts in any direction
should be such that local compressive buckling of the plies is prevented. The
guidance in BS 5950-1, clause 6.2.1.2 may be followed.
Block shear failure through a group of bolt holes at a free edge should be
prevented by following the guidance in BS 5950-1, clause 6.2.4. This mode of
failure consists of failure in shear at the row of bolt holes along the shear face
of the hole group, accompanied by tensile rupture along the line of bolt holes on
the tension face of the hole group. It is rarely critical for standard types of
details.
5.2.2 Design strength
(a)
Shear capacity
The shear capacity of a bolt, Psb, should be taken as:
Psb = psb As
(5.1)
where:
psb
is the shear strength of bolt
= 0.48 Usb ≤ 0.69 Y0.2b for property class 50, 70 and 80 bolts and
other stainless steel bolts where Usb ≤ 800N/mm2
= 0.4 Usb for stainless steel bolts where 800 < Usb ≤ 1000 N/mm2
Usb
is the specified minimum tensile strength of the bolt
53
P291: Structural design of stainless steel
Discuss me ...
Y0.2b is the specified minimum stress at 0.2% permanent strain of the bolt
As
is the shear area, usually taken as the tensile stress area, unless it can
be guaranteed that the threaded portion will be excluded from the
shear plane, in which case it can be taken as the unthreaded shank
area.
Values for Usb and Y0.2b are given in Table 2.3.
(b)
Bearing capacity
The effective capacity of a bolt in bearing should be taken as the lesser of the
bearing capacity of the bolt, Pbb, and the bearing capacity of the connected ply,
Pbs, given by:
Pbb = d tp pbb
(5.2)
Pbs = d tp pbs ≤ 0.5 e1 tp pbs
(5.3)

where:
tp
is the thickness of the connected ply
pbb
is the bearing strength of the bolt = 0.72 (Usb + Y0.2b)
pbs
is the bearing strength of connected parts = 0.65 (Us + py)
Us
is the specified minimum tensile strength of the connected ply, given
in Table 2.2
py
is the design strength of the connected ply, defined in Section 2.2.2
d and e1 are defined in Section 5.2.1.
(c)
Tension capacity
The tensile force per bolt Ft transmitted by the connection should not exceed the
nominal tension capacity Pnom of the bolt. Pnom can be determined from the
following ‘simple’ method, where the prying force need not be calculated:
Pnom = 0.8 ptb At
(5.4)
where:
pt
is the tension strength of the bolt = 0.7 Usb ≤ Y0.2b
At
is the tensile stress area as specified in the appropriate bolt standard.
For bolts where the tensile stress area is not defined, At should be
taken as the area at the bottom of the threads.
Note that this method may only be used if the connection satisfies both of the
following:
•
the cross-centre spacing of the bolt-lines, s should not exceed 55% of the
flange width or end-plate width (Figure 5.2)
•
if a connected part is designed assuming double curvature bending, its
moment capacity per unit width should be taken as py tp2/6, where tp is the
thickness of the connected part.

The tensile capacity for tie bars and long stud bolts not subject to prying forces
may be increased by removing the 0.8 factor in expression (5.4) (i.e. Pnom = pt
At).
The thread on the stud bolts or tie bars should comply with BS ISO 68-1[27], BS
ISO 261[28] and BS ISO 262[29].

grades for bolts in clearance holes. Table 5.3 gives shear and tension capacities

For splices of unusual length (say 500 mm upwards), or when the grip length
(i.e. the total thickness of the connected plies) exceeds 5 bolt diameters, or the
thickness of packing exceeds d/3, the shear capacity might be reduced. In the
absence of data for stainless steel, it is recommended to use the carbon steel
rules for these situations (e.g. BS 5950-1, clauses 6.3.2.5 and 6.3.2.3 and
6.3.2.2).

HSFG stainless steel bolts are not generally available. If stainless steel bolts are
highly torqued, galling can be a problem (see Section 7.6). Stainless steel
connections should not be designed as slip resistant unless acceptability in the
particular application can be demonstrated by test.

Securing nuts against vibration
To prevent bolt assemblies from becoming loose when subject to continued
vibration, lock nuts are effective solutions. Several proprietary locking devices
for nuts are available.

5.6.1 General
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
The following recommendations apply to full and partial penetration butt welds
and to fillet welds made by an arc welding process.
Intermittent fillet welds and intermittent partial penetration butt welds should
only be used where crevice corrosion is unlikely to occur. Furthermore,
continuous partial penetration butt welds should be used with care in marine or
very heavily polluted onshore environments, particularly where capillary action
might occur.
5.6.2 Fillet welds
The angle of intersection of members connected by fillet welds should be such
that the angle between the fusion faces of a weld is not less than 60° and not
more than 120°. Outside these limits, the adequacy of the connection should be
determined on the basis of tests. As for carbon steel (see BS 5950-1, clause
6.7.2.5), a single fillet weld should not be used in situations that produce a
bending moment about the longitudinal axis of the weld if this causes tension at
the root of the weld.
The effective length of a fillet weld may be taken as the overall length of the
full-size fillet less one leg length, s, for each end which does not continue round
a corner. However, a fillet weld with an effective length less than 4s or less
than 40 mm should not be used to carry load.
The effective throat size, a, of a fillet weld should be taken as the perpendicular
distance from the root of the weld to a straight line joining the fusion faces that
lies within the cross-section of the weld.
The force per unit length transmitted by a fillet weld at a given point in its
length should be determined from the applied forces and moments, using the
elastic section properties of the weld or weld group, based on effective throat
sizes. The design stress in a fillet weld should be calculated as the force per
unit length transmitted by the weld, divided by the effective throat size a.
57
P291: Structural design of stainless steel
Discuss me ...
The capacity should be taken as sufficient if, throughout the length of the weld,
the vector sum of the design stresses due to all forces and moments transmitted
by the weld does not exceed its design strength pw.
The design strength of the weld pw should be taken as:
pw = 0.5 Ue but not more than the lesser of 0.46 Us and py
(5.6)
where:
Us
is the specified minimum ultimate tensile strength of the weaker part
joined
Ue
is the minimum tensile strength of the electrode, as specified in the
relevant product standard
Note that the above value of 0.46 is slightly different from the value in
BS 5950-1 and is based on the Euro Inox Design Manual for Structural
Stainless Steel[23].
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
For austenitic stainless steel electrodes, typical values of Ue lie between 510
and 550 N/mm2, so the weld strength will be governed by the lesser of 0.46 Us
and py .
As an alternative, the directional method given in BS 5950-1, clause 6.8.7.3 can
be used. In this method the forces per unit length transmitted by the weld are
resolved into a longitudinal shear parallel to the axis of the weld and a resultant
transverse force perpendicular to this axis.
This method permits an
enhancement in the transverse weld capacity of up to 25%.
5.6.3 Butt welds
The design strength of a full penetration butt weld may be taken as equal to the
design strength of the weaker of the parts joined, provided that the weld
satisfies the recommendations of Section 5.6.1. Guidance on throat size of
partial penetration butt welds in BS 5950-1, clause 6.9.2 is applicable.

FIRE RESISTANT DESIGN
6.1
General
This Section deals with the design of stainless steel structures that, for reasons
of general fire safety, are required to fulfil certain functions, in terms of
avoiding premature collapse of the structure (load bearing function), when
exposed to fire. The recommendations are only concerned with passive
methods of fire protection and are applicable to stainless steel grades and
structures that are generally designed within the rules of Sections 1 to 5 of this
document. The method is based on the current draft of the Eurocode for
structural steel fire design, prEN 1993-1-2[30].
Austenitic stainless steels generally retain a higher proportion of their room
temperature strength than carbon steels above temperatures of about 550°C, and
a higher proportion of their stiffness at all temperatures.
Table 6.1 gives the load factors for the fire limit state, which are taken from
BS 5950-8[11].

The performance requirements of a stainless steel structure that may be
subjected to accidental fire loading are no different from those of carbon steel,
namely:
•
Where mechanical resistance is required at the fire limit state, the structure
should be designed and constructed in such a way that it maintains its load
bearing function during the relevant fire exposure.
•
Deformation criteria should be applied where the means of fire protection,
or the design criteria for separating elements, require the deformation of
the load bearing structure to be considered. However, it is not necessary
to consider the deformation of the load bearing structure if the fire
resistance of both the separating and load bearing elements is based on the
standard fire curve.

(6.1)

where:
E

py
is the design strength at 20°C, as defined in Section 2.2.2
Us
is the specified minimum tensile strength at 20°C, as given in
Table 2.2.
In determining the structural fire resistance of stainless steel members of classes
1, 2 and 3, the strength at 2% total strain, p2,θ , is used in place of the design
strength at ambient temperature, py.
However, in situations which require consideration of the deformation criteria,
the strength at a total strain of 1.0%, p1,θ is recommended as a basis for the
calculations instead of p2,θ. The value of p1,θ should be calculated using the
following relationship:
p 1,θ = p 0.2proof,θ + 0.5 g 2,θ ( U s,θ − p 0.2proof,θ )
(6.2)
For class 4 slender stainless steel sections, the elevated temperature 0.2% proof
strength values, p0.2proof,θ should be used. Values for p0.2proof,θ are given relative
to the yield strength at 20 °C by the factor kp0.2proof,θ in Table 6.2.

Where the temperature of the member is non-uniform, the compression
resistance may conservatively be estimated by assuming a uniform temperature
that is equal to the maximum temperature in the member.
The buckling length LEfi of a column for fire design should generally be
determined as for ambient temperature design. However, in a braced frame,
LEfi may be determined by considering the column as fixed in direction at
continuous or semi-continuous connections to the column lengths in the fire
compartments above and below. This assumption can only be made if the fire
resistance of the building components that separate these fire compartments is
not less than the fire resistance of the column.

In the case of a braced frame in which each storey comprises a separate fire
compartment with sufficient fire resistance, the buckling length of a column in
an intermediate storey is given by LEfi = 0.5L and in the top storey the buckling

Calculation of temperature rise in stainless
steel
The method for calculating the temperature rise in carbon steel can also be
applied to stainless steel.
The incremental rise in temperature of a uniformly heated bare stainless steel
section in time interval t is given by:
∆θ s
=
αc +αr Hp
cs ρ s
Ag
(θ f
− θ s ) ∆t
(6.25)
where:
cs
is the specific heat of stainless steel (J/kg°C), as given in Section 6.3.2
ρs
is the density of stainless steel (kg/m3), as given in Table 2.4 (usually
considered as temperature independent)
θf
is the temperature (°C) of the fire at a particular time t (secs)
θs
is the temperature of the stainless steel section (°C) which is assumed
to be uniform, at time t
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
Hp/Ag is the section factor (m-1), i.e. the ratio of the heated perimeter Hp to
the gross cross-sectional area, Ag
αc
is the coefficient of heat transfer by convection (usually taken as
25W/m2 °C)
αr
is the coefficient of heat transfer by radiation, given by:
αr =
5.67 ε
θf −θs
[(θ
f
]
+ 273 ) 4 − (θ s + 273 ) 4 × 10
−8
(6.26)
The parameter ε is the resultant emissivity and represents the radiation
transmitted between the fire and the metal surface and its magnitude depends on
the degree of direct exposure of the element to the fire. Elements which are
partially shielded from the radiant effects of the heat of the fire would have a
lower value of ε. Conservatively ε may be taken as 0.5.
The above equation for the incremental temperature rise may be used to
determine steel temperatures by incremental integration, if the variation of the
fire temperature with time is known. The standard temperature–time curve for
a cellulosic fire is given in DD ENV 1991-2-2[31]:
θ f = 20 + 345 log10 (8t + 1)
(6.27)
where:
t
is the elapsed time (minutes).

FABRICATION ASPECTS
7.1
General
Stainless steel is not a difficult material to fabricate; it can be readily cut,
formed and welded. Many fabrication and joining processes are similar to those
used for carbon steel, but the different characteristics of stainless steel require
special attention.
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
An overriding objective is to maintain the steel's corrosion resistance. It is
essential to ensure at all stages of storing, handling, forming and welding that
mechanical or other damage to the surface (i.e. the oxide layer) is minimized
and the good surface appearance is preserved. This is particularly important
because stainless steel is usually specified for its corrosion resistance, aesthetic
appeal or both. Care is required in storing and handling stainless steel where
the material has been selected for its surface finish (especially bright annealed
or polished finishes).
It is important to avoid contamination of the surface of stainless steel
components by carbon steel and iron at all stages of fabrication, handling,
storage, transportation and erection. This is to prevent carbon steel pick-up,
which may subsequently rust and stain the surface. Measures should be taken
by the fabricator to prevent such contamination; these may include the use of
quarantined work areas, the use of tools which are dedicated only to stainless
steel, the use of stainless steel wire brushes or wool, avoiding the use of carbon
steel lifting tackle and protecting the forks of fork lift trucks.
Contact with organic contaminants such as oils, greases, dyes, glues, adhesive
tape and other similar deposits should be avoided. When they are used, their
suitability should be checked with their manufacturer.
Achieving specified dimensions in stainless steel structures can be more difficult
than in carbon steel structures because of stainless steel’s tendency to spring
back after bending (Section 7.3.2) and its higher coefficient of thermal
expansion and lower thermal conductivity (see also Section 7.4.2 for specific
guidance on controlling distortion arising from welding). Consequently, higher
tolerances may have to be accepted than those for carbon steel. In detailing
joints, consideration should be given to these higher tolerances and to clearances
for bolts near corners.
In the absence of a national specification, fabrication and erection of stainless
steel structures should be carried out in accordance with the European
specification DD ENV 1090 Execution of steel, Part 6 Supplementary rules for
stainless steels[32].
7.2
Storage and handling
Generally, greater care is required in storing and handling stainless steel than
carbon steel, to avoid damaging the surface finish (especially for bright annealed
or polished finishes) and to avoid contamination by carbon steel and iron.
Storage and handling procedures should be agreed between the relevant parties
to the contract in advance of any fabrication and in sufficient detail to

instance, the following items:
The procedures should cover, for
•
The steel should be inspected immediately after delivery for any surface
damage.
•
The steel may have a protective plastic or other coating. This should be
left on as long as possible, removing it just before final fabrication. The
protective covering should be called for in the procurement document if it
is required (e.g. for bright annealed finishes).
•
Storage in salt-laden humid atmospheres should be avoided. Storage racks
should not have carbon steel rubbing surfaces and should, therefore, be
protected by wooden, rubber or plastic battens or sheaths. Sheets and
plates should preferably be stacked vertically; horizontally stacked sheets
may get walked upon, with a risk of iron contamination and surface
damage.
•
Carbon steel lifting tackle, e.g. chains, hooks, and cleats, should be
avoided. The use of isolating materials, or the use of suction cups, will
prevent iron pick-up. The forks of fork lift trucks should also be so
protected.
•
Contact with chemicals, including undue amounts of oils and greases
(which may stain some finishes), should be avoided.
•
Ideally, segregated fabrication areas for carbon steel and stainless steel
should be used. Only tools dedicated to stainless steel should be employed
(this particularly applies to grinding wheels and wire brushes). Note that
wire brushes and wire wool should be of stainless steel and generally in a
grade that is equivalent in terms of corrosion resistance (e.g. do not use
ferritic stainless steel brushes on austenitic stainless steel).
•
As a precaution during fabrication and erection, it is advisable to ensure
that any sharp burrs formed during shearing operations are removed.
•
Consideration should be given to any requirements needed in protecting the
finished fabrication during transportation.
7.3
Shaping operations
7.3.1 Cutting
Stainless steel may be cut using standard mechanical cutting methods, including
shearing and sawing. Cutting machine power requirements will be greater than
those used for similar thicknesses of carbon steel, due to the work hardening of
the steel. If possible, cutting (and machining in general), should be carried out
when the metal is in the annealed (softened) state to limit tool wear.
For cutting straight lines, guillotine shearing is widely used. By using open
ended guillotines, a continuous cut greater in length than the shear blades can be
achieved, although at the risk of introducing small steps in the cut edge.
Thermal cutting techniques, such as plasma arc, are also used, particularly for
cutting thick plates and profiles and where the cut edges are to be machined,
e.g. for weld preparation. Where the thickness of material allows, laser cutting
is a useful technique. Specialist water-jet cutting can also be used on stainless
71
P291: Structural design of stainless steel

steel. These low or zero heat input cutting methods are useful in reducing or
eliminating the risk of distortion during cutting complex shapes.
Oxyacetylene cutting is not satisfactory for cutting stainless steel unless a
powder fluxing technique is used.
7.3.2 Cold forming
Stainless steel is readily shaped by commonly used cold forming techniques
such as roll-bending, spinning, pressing and deep drawing. For structural
applications, press brake bending is the most relevant technique, though roll
forming may be more economic for high volume thin gauge products. The
power requirement for bending stainless steel will be higher than for bending
carbon steel, due to work hardening. Furthermore, stainless steel has to be
overbent (to counteract the effects of springback) to a slightly higher degree
than carbon steel.
Stainless steel's high ductility allows small radii to be formed. It is generally
recommended that the minimum inside bend radii should be 2.0t for austenitic
grades and 2.5t for duplex grades, where t is the thickness of the material.
However, smaller radii are achievable, depending on the forming technique and
configuration of the forming equipment.

When bending hollow sections the following guidance may be given:
•
the outer tube diameter to wall thickness ratio should not exceed 15 (to
avoid costly tooling).
•
the bend radius (to centreline of tube) should not be less than 2.5D, where
D is the outer diameter
•
any welding bead should be positioned close to the neutral axis, to reduce
the bending stresses at the weld.
7.3.3 Holes
Holes may be drilled or punched. In drilling, positive cutting must be
maintained to avoid work hardening and this requires sharp bits with correct
angles of rake and correct cutting speeds. The use of a round tipped centre
punch is not recommended, as this work hardens the surface. Either a centre
drill should be used or, if a centre punch has to be used, it should be of the
triangular pointed type. Punched holes can be made in austenitic stainless steel
up to about 20 mm in thickness. The minimum diameter of hole that can be
punched is 2 mm greater than the sheet thickness. Punched holes should be
avoided in corrosive environments because of crevicing that may possibly lead
to local corrosion.
Hardened washers may be necessary under bolt heads to prevent any tendency
to dig into the surface because of the soft surface on some grades of stainless
steel.
7.4
Welding
7.4.1 Specifications and processes
The welding of all the grades covered by this design guide is widely and
successfully carried out using normal processes. General cleanliness and the
absence of contamination are important for attaining good weld quality. Weld
72
P291: Structural design of stainless steel
Discuss me ...
contamination from zinc, including that arising from galvanised products, and
from copper and its alloys should be avoided. The “as welded” profile of
stainless steel is usually more important than with carbon steel and should be
specified.
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
It is essential that welds are made using correct procedures to ensure the
strength of the weld, achieve a defined weld profile and maintain corrosion
resistance of the weld and surrounding material. The relevant specification for
welding stainless steels is BS EN 1011 Requirements for fusion welding of
metallic materials, Part 3: Stainless steels[33]. Welding should be carried out to
an approved welding procedure according to a standard such as BS EN 288-2[34].
Welders should be approved in accordance with BS EN 287-1[35].
Manual metal arc (MMA), metal inert gas (MIG), tungsten inert gas (TIG) and
resistance welding are all suitable methods for welding stainless steel. The
shielding gas used in MIG and TIG processes should not contain carbon
dioxide, to avoid the possibility of decomposition leading to carbon pick-up.
Pre-heat is not necessary or desirable when welding austenitic, ferritic and
duplex stainless steels. In the case of duplex grades, nitrogen shielding gas
should be avoided. It is possible to weld stainless steel to other materials,
including carbon steel, provided that the appropriate filler is used. The
accepted procedure is to use an over-alloyed austenitic electrode to ensure
adequate mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. (Generally a filler of
grade 23 12 L (309) to BS EN 12072[36] is suitable for welding grade 1.4301
(304) to carbon steel.)
Compatible consumables should be used, such that the weld yield and ultimate
strengths exceed those of the parent material and the risk of solidification
cracking is minimised. The weld should be at least as corrosion resistant as the
parent material.
All welding consumables should conform with the
requirements specified in DD ENV 1090-6[32].
Welding deficiencies such as undercut, lack of penetration, weld spatter, slag
and stray arc strikes are all potential sites for crevice corrosion and must be
avoided. Stray arc strikes or arcing at loose earth connections can also damage
the passive layer and possibly give rise to corrosion; they must be avoided also.
Surface weld inspection for stainless steel is usually carried out using dye
penetration inspection (DPI).
7.4.2 Welding distortion
The distortion of stainless steel, particularly of austenitic grades, can be a
problem because of their higher coefficients of thermal expansion and lower
thermal conductivities. The following guidelines will help control welding
distortions:
•
Minimise the extent of welding.
•
Minimise the amount of deposited weld metal (e.g. use double V
preparations in preference to single V).
•
Use symmetrical joints.
•
Design to accommodate dimensional tolerances.
•
Use efficient clamping jigs.
•
Use closely spaced tack welds laid in a balanced sequence.
73
P291: Structural design of stainless steel
Discuss me ...
•
Ensure that good fit up and alignment is obtained prior to welding.
•
Use the lowest heat input commensurate with the selected weld process.
•
Use balanced welding and appropriate sequences.
7.5
Finishing
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
The surface finish of stainless steel is often an important design consideration
and should be clearly specified according to architectural or functional
requirements. As a general rule, for a given grade in a given environment, the
finer the finish, the greater the cost and the better the corrosion resistance.
This is where precautions taken earlier in handling and welding will pay off.
Initial planning is important in reducing costs. For instance, if the tube to tube
weld in a handrail or balustrade is hidden inside an upright, there will be a
reduced finishing cost and a significant improvement in the final appearance of
the handrail.
After fabrication, the surface of the steel must be restored to its optimum
corrosion resisting condition. Spray or immersion pickling after fabrication will
remove weld scale, heat tint and surface iron contamination. Scale and heat tint
can be removed from welds with pickling paste by brush or using
electrochemical weld cleaning equipment. Loosened scale can be removed by
brush, but water jet is preferable as there is less risk of the spread of
contamination.
Abrasive treatments, such as grinding, polishing and buffing, produce
unidirectional finishes and thus the blending of welds may not be easy on
plates/sheets. A degree of experimentation may be required to determine
detailed procedures to obtain a suitable finish. Electrolytic polishing removes a
thin surface layer; a range of finishes from dull to a bright lustre can be
produced, depending largely on the initial surface of the material. There are
other finishing processes but these would only rarely be used for structural
stainless steel. See Reference 5 for more information.
It is worth noting again that the surface should be free of contaminants in the
assembled structure. Particular consideration should be given to the possibility
of contamination arising from work on adjacent carbon steelwork, especially
from grinding dust. Either the stainless steel should be protected by removable
plastic film, or final cleaning after completion of the structure should be
specified in the contract documents.
7.6
Galling and seizure
Bolting materials in the softened condition are prone to seizure or galling, which
occurs when the protective films on two surfaces are in rubbing contact and the
underlying surfaces weld together. This results in the inability to remove nuts
from bolts and invariably leads to considerable time wastage in maintenance
work when chiselling and flame cutting is necessary to remove bolts.
However, galling is a problem in limited circumstances only; it is only likely if
the initial assembly contains partly damaged threads, in fine threads or tight
fitting thread forms. Because of the absence of corrosion products, stainless
steel nuts and bolts are more prone to working loose under vibrating loads,
rather than to seizing.
74
P291: Structural design of stainless steel
Discuss me ...
Stainless steel self-tapping screws used in a stainless steel base material can be
prone to seizure, particularly where the screws and base material are different
grades (see Section 2.3.2, Fasteners).
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
The following methods may be used to avoid galling problems:
•
Dissimilar standard grades of stainless steel may be used - which vary in
composition, work hardening rate and hardness (e.g. Grade A2-C2, A4-C4
or A2-A4 bolt-nut combinations from BS EN ISO 3506),
•
In severe cases, a proprietary high work-hardening stainless steel alloy may
be used for one component or hard surface coatings can be applied,
•
Anti-galling agents such as PTFE dry film spray.

INTRODUCTION TO DESIGN TABLES
8.1
General
8.1.1 Scope
This publication includes design tables for gross section properties, section
classification and effective section properties and member capacities for a wide
range of cold formed stainless steel sections. The grades of stainless steel
covered are austenitic stainless steel grades 1.4301 (304), 1.4401/1.4404
(316/316L), and duplex grades 1.4362 (SAF 2304) and 1.4462 (2205).
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
The design tables cover seven structural forms of cold formed stainless steel
sections that are used in construction:
•
Circular hollow sections (CHS).
•
Rectangular hollow sections (RHS).
•
Square hollow sections (SHS).
•
Channels.
•
Double channels back to back
•
Equal angles.
•
Double equal angles back to back.
8.1.2 Double sections
For double sections, the section properties have been calculated on the basis that
the sections are back to back with no gap between them. For double sections
with a spacing between the two components, the properties given are thus
conservative, except for the buckling parameter, see Section 8.2.6.
8.1.3 Internal corner radius
In the design tables, it is assumed that the internal corner radius, ri , is twice
the section thickness, t, for all sections. This provides conservative design
information for sections with smaller internal corner radii, but see also
Section 7.3.2.
For rectangular hollow sections and channels:
d = D - 2(ri + t) and with ri = 2 t, this gives d = D - 6 t
For rectangular hollow sections:
b = B - 2(ri + t) and with ri = 2 t, this gives b = B - 6 t
For sections with larger internal radii, see Appendix C.
All the section properties have been calculated allowing for rounded corners,
except torsion and warping constants, where approximate formulae are used
instead.
76

8.1.4 Organisation of design tables
For each structural form, three sets of design tables are given wherever
appropriate:
Section A - Dimensions and Gross Section Property Tables
These tables give the dimensions and the section properties of the gross
sections. The gross section properties are applicable to cold formed sections of
any grade of steel. The gross section properties have been calculated from the
nominal geometry of the cross-sections.
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
Section B - Section Classification and Effective Section Property Tables
These classify the sections according to Table 3.1 under different loading
conditions and give design data on the effective cross-sections for slender
sections. The effective section properties are related to the design strength of the
materials and thus four sets of properties are given for the different stainless
steel grades, i.e. grades 1.4301 (304), 1.4401/1.4404 (316/316L), 1.4362 (SAF
2304) and 1.4462 (2205). There are four classes of sections, namely: class 1
plastic, class 2 compact, class 3 semi-compact and class 4 slender. The section
classification depends on the width-to-thickness ratios of the elements of the
cross-sections. The effective section properties have been calculated from the
effective cross-sections of the structural form for slender sections. Properties
are presented for cross-sections under compression, and for bending about the
x and y axes.
Sections C, D, E, F - Member Capacity Tables
These give the capacities and resistances of cold formed stainless steel sections
as three typical structural members:
•
members in compression, or struts
•
members in tension, or ties
•
members in bending, or beams.
The capacities are determined in accordance with the design recommendations
given in Section 4.
For each structural form, the compression resistance tables present data for a
wide range of member effective lengths, from 1 m to 14 m for hollow sections
and from 1 m to 10 m for channels and angles (it is advisable for designers to
check the availability of members longer than 10 m). The moment capacity
tables give buckling resistance moments for single and double channels from
1 m to 10 m in length. Linear interpolation between the tabulated values is
permitted. The calculated values in the tables have been rounded to three
significant figures. A summary of the member capacity tables is given in
Table 8.1.
Note that it is not necessary to give any table for members subject to combined
loading because the main parameters required in these checks may be found in
the strut and the beam tables. Furthermore, an interaction formula using mx,
my, and mLT permits a less conservative approach than design with tabulated data
would allow.
No web bearing and buckling resistances are given.

8.1.5 Ranges of section sizes
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
At present, there is no specification on section sizes of cold formed stainless
steel sections for structural applications. Consequently, a wide variety of sizes
and shapes is used in practice. In order to provide practical design information,
a large number of stockholders, fabricators and manufacturers in the U.K. and
Europe were contacted during the preparation of this publication in order to
establish the most commonly used sizes for various section shapes.
Based on the collected information, ranges of section sizes for the cold formed
stainless steel sections presented in this publication were established according
to the following considerations:
(a) limitations in the process of cold forming
(b) practical sizes in typical use
(c) structural economy and effective use of material.
8.1.6 Axis convention
The convention adopted throughout this publication is shown in Figure 8.1.

8.1.8 Section sizes
For each section shape, a range of section sizes together with up to five section
thicknesses is given. External dimensions of the sections are used in the section
designation.
8.1.9 Units
The dimensions of sections are given in millimetres (mm).

The centimetre unit (cm) is used for the calculated properties, except for ex and
ey in Design Tables 11, 13 and 14, which are given in millimetres.
The mass and force units used are the kilogramme (kg), the newton (N) and the
metre per second per second (m/s2) so that 1 N = 1 kg × 1 m/s2. For
convenience a standard value of the acceleration due to gravity has been
generally accepted as 9.81 m/s2. Thus the force exerted by 1 kg under the
action of gravity is 9.81 N and the force exerted by 1 tonne (1000 kg) is
9.80665 kilonewtons (kN).

Gross section properties
8.2.1 Unit mass
A density of 7900 kg/m3 was used to calculate the unit mass of the sections. In
all cases, including double sections, the tabulated masses are for the steel
sections alone and no allowance has been made for connecting materials or
fittings.
8.2.2 Area, second moment of area and radius of gyration
The area, Ag, and the second moment of area (or ‘moment of inertia’), I, of the
gross cross-section have been calculated taking account of the rounded corners
of the sections. A useful design parameter for buckling calculations is the
radius of gyration, which is evaluated as follows:

capacity, based on its design strength. The elastic section modulus, Z, is
evaluated as follows:
Z =

where:
y
is the distance from the elastic neutral axis to the extreme fibre of the
section.
The elastic section modulus can be used to determine the stress at the extreme
fibre of the section. For channels under bending about the y-axis, only the
minimum section modulus, which relates to the toe of the cross-section, is
given.
The plastic section modulus, S, is the sum of the first moments of area of all the
elements in the cross-section about the equal area axis of the cross-section.
The plastic section modulus for CHS is given by:

individual sections.

design (see Section 4.3.3).
For channels and equal angles, the distance of the shear centre from the
centroid of the cross-section, xo , is illustrated in Figure 8.1. In both double
channels and double angles, the individual sections are conservatively assumed

The section properties of double channels have been calculated on the basis that
the sections are back to back with no gap between them. When calculating the
lateral torsional buckling resistance of double channels with a gap between the
components, the buckling parameter, u, should be set to 1.0.

8.3
Effective section properties
In general, slender elements of the cross-section of cold formed sections will
buckle under compression, while corners remain fully effective. An element is
slender if its width-to-thickness ratio exceeds the semi-compact limits given in
Table 3.1. Based on the effective width concept, effective cross-sections may
be established according to Table 3.2 for cross-sections under different loading
conditions. Since the effective section properties are related to the design
strength of the material, so the tables give effective section properties for each
of the four design strengths covered (210, 220, 400, and 460 N/mm2).
Circular hollow sections with a class 4 cross-section have been excluded from
the member capacity tables since no rules are given for calculating the effective
area of class 4 circular hollow sections.
8.3.1 Section classification
The section classification of a cross-section depends on the highest (least
favourable) class of its constituent elements that are partially or wholly in
compression. For each section, section classifications are given in the design
tables for cross-sections under axial compression and bending about the x and y
axes.
It has been conservatively assumed that the class of a double section follows that
of the single section, except for the flanges of double channels, which have been
classified according to the rules for welded elements.
8.3.2 Resistance factor under compression
The resistance factor under compression, βc, given in the design tables is
required in the calculation of the compression capacity of a cross-section. It is
defined in Section 4.3.3.
8.3.3 Shift in neutral axes
In the cross-section of single channels, single angles and double angles, there is
only one axis of symmetry and the neutral axis of the effective cross-section

Shift in neutral axes of slender sections under compression
For slender sections, the shift of neutral axis, e, is required in the calculation of
the resistance of a member in compression because of the additional bending
moment induced in the cross-section due to the ‘P-δ ’ effect. Reference should
be made to Section 8.4.2 for the evaluation of compression resistances of
members with slender sections in compression.

modulus, Zeff, are given in the design tables, as they are required for the
calculation of deflection and moment capacity respectively.

The compression resistance of a member, Pc, is given by expression (4.8).
Values of Pc over a range of effective length are given in the design tables.
Table 8.3 gives the relevant elastic buckling loads and corresponding effective
lengths for flexural buckling and torsional-flexural buckling for the various
section shapes.
For double channels and double angles, the buckling curve for welded open
sections was used to calculate the reduction factor for buckling, χ.
The value of the effective length LEz for torsional-flexural buckling depends on
the degree of torsional and warping restraint.
For struts with concentric
connections, LEz can conservatively be taken as the larger of Lx and Ly. Guidance
on the calculation of LEz for struts with eccentric connections is given in
Section 8.4.2.

8.4.2 Compression members with eccentric connections (single
channels, single angles and double angles back to back)
When loaded axially, these sections are subject to an additional moment due to
the eccentricity of the point of load application from the centroid of the
cross-section. Table 25 of BS 5950-1[10] gives slenderness ratios for single
channels, single angles and double angles back to back of carbon steel sections
for various end conditions. These were based on test results and take into
account both the effects of end fixity and end moments due to eccentricity of
connection on the buckling resistance.
However, no equivalent tests have been carried out on stainless steel sections,
which means it is not possible to give any comparable guidance. Until such
guidance has been developed, the following approach may be adopted.
•
The design rules for carbon steel given in Table 25 of BS 5950-1 may be
used to calculate an effective slenderness λ about each axis that takes into
account the effects of end fixity and eccentric connection.
•
For each axis, an effective length, LE to be used in the tables in this
publication can be calculated from LE = λr, where r is the appropriate
radius of gyration.
Note that the rules in BS 5950-1 apply only to flexural buckling. For torsionalflexural buckling, a conservative approach for making adequate allowance for
the effect of eccentric connection is to calculate LEz from the following:
For single channels:
LEz = max [Lx , Ly , 0.7 Ly + 30 ry ]
86
P291: Structural design of stainless steel

For single angles:
LEz = max [ Lx , 0.7 Lx + 30rx , 0.7 Lv + 15rv ]
For double angles:

L Ez = max L y ,
0.7 L y + 30 r ym ,

where:

and y axes
λc =
Lc
≤ 50
rv
in which Lc is measured between interconnecting bolts for back to back struts,
or between end welds or end bolts of adjacent battens for battened angle struts.

It should be noted that for monosymmetric sections such as double angles, the x
axis is the axis of symmetry, which is not the convention adopted in Table 25 of
BS 5950-1.
This approach can be used for sections connected by one, two or more fasteners
at each end. In accordance with Table 25 of BS 5950-1, for single or double
angles connected by one bolt only, the compression resistance should be
reduced to 80% of the values given in the design tables.
If the section is slender, it must also be checked for the combined effects of the
axial load and moment caused by the shift in neutral axis and so the following
condition must be satisfied:
F Fex Fe y
+
+
Pc M cx M cy
≤1
where:
F

Pc
is the smallest of Pcx, Pcy, Pcz and Pcxz (see Section 4.3.3)
Mc
is the moment capacity= py Zeff
ex, ey is the shift of x or y neutral axis for slender sections under
compression (the values are given in the Effective Section Property
Tables).
8.4.3 Interconnections for double sections
For double channel and double angle sections, the compression resistances have
been calculated on the assumption that the double section acts as a single
integral member, i.e. the slenderness is based on the radius of gyration for the
double section. To achieve this, the members must be continuously connected.
If the sections are not continuously connected, then the compression resistance
about the axis parallel to the connected surfaces should be based on a higher
slenderness. In the absence of rules for stainless steel, the guidance for carbon
steel in clauses 4.7.9 to 4.7.13 of BS 5950-1[10] can be used, where the
87

slenderness of the double section, λb is given by:
[
λb = λm 2 + λc 2
]
0.5
≥
1.4 λ c
where:
λm
is the slenderness of the double member about the axis parallel to the
connected surfaces
λc
is the slenderness of a single angle or channel (based on its minimum
radius of gyration) between interconnections and λc ≤ 50
An effective length LE to be used in the tables in this publication can be
calculated from this modified slenderness by setting LE = λbr.
The guidance in clause 4.7.13 of BS 5950-1 regarding the strength and
maximum pitch of interconnections is applicable.
For double angles with eccentric connections, the effect of the distance between
interconnection on the slenderness is taken into account in the method described
in Section 8.4.2. for making allowance for the additional moment due to the
eccentricity of the point of load application.

Members in tension
Tables are given for single and double angles in tension.
For single angles connected through one leg only or double angles connected to
the same side of a gusset or member, the equivalent tension area is given by:
For bolted connections: Equivalent tension area = (Ae – 0.5a2)
For welded connections: Equivalent tension area = (Ag – 0.3a2)
For double angles connected through one leg only when the gusset is between
the angles, the equivalent tension area is given by:
For bolted connections: Equivalent tension area = (Ae – 0.25a2)
For welded connections: Equivalent tension area = (Ag – 0.15a2)
where the terms are defined in Section 4.2.
The effective net area of a bolted equal angle section Ae is given by:
Ae = ae1 + ae2

Members in bending
8.6.1 Moment capacity
The moment capacities Mc of the sections for bending about the x and y axes are
given by expressions (4.19), (4.20) and (4.21).
Values governed by Mc = 1.2 py Z are printed in italic type because higher
values may be used in some circumstances (see Section 4.4.2).
For single channels subject to bending about the y-axis, the following
conservative assumptions were made:
•
section classification and effective section properties for slender class 4
cross-sections were based on the channel toes being in compression and the
web in tension.
•
moment capacities were calculated using the minimum elastic section
modulus; this corresponds to maximum stress at the toes of the channel.

Where the shear load is high, the values given in the design tables should be
reduced in accordance with the design rules given in Section 4.4.3. The effects
of shear lag may also have to be considered, depending on the ratio of the
flange width to member length, see Section 3.6. Flange curling need not be
considered for the sections in the tables.
8.6.2 Shear capacity
The shear capacity of the cross-section, Pv, given in the design tables is
evaluated according to:
•
for circular hollow sections:
Pv = 0.36 py Ag
•
•
for channels with the load acting parallel to the y-axis (i.e. the web):
Pv = 0.6 py t D
for single channels
Pv = 1.2 py t D

For channels and rectangular hollow sections, only the values of Pv

8.6.3 Buckling resistance moment
Rectangular hollow sections bending about the x-axis, with high D/B ratios, may
be susceptible to lateral torsional buckling. However, this mode of failure is
only critical for sections with long unrestrained spans; such spans are often
outside the practical range of application. The design tables for rectangular
hollow sections, therefore, only give a limiting length below which lateral
torsional buckling need not be checked. For circular and square hollow
sections, lateral torsional buckling does not happen and thus no check is
required.
The limiting length Lc has been calculated according to clause B.2.6.1 in
Appendix B of BS 5950-1. The maximum value for the slenderness parameter,
λLT, at which lateral torsional buckling can be discounted is taken to be 0.4.
The expression for Lc is given as follows:

For laterally unrestrained single and double channels bending about the x-axis, it
is necessary to check for lateral torsional buckling. The buckling resistance
moment, Mb, is evaluated using expression (4.27).
For a range of effective lengths LE, values of Mb are given in the design tables.
8.6.4 Interconnections for double channels
As for struts, the buckling resistance moment of double channels has been
calculated on the assumption that the double section acts as a single integral
member, i.e. the radius of gyration used to calculate the member slenderness
and thus the buckling resistance moment is related to the double sections in all
cases (see also Section 8.4.3).
If the sections are not continuously connected, then, in the absence of rules for
stainless steel, the lateral torsional buckling resistance should be based on the
increased slenderness, λb, as given in Section 8.4.3. The guidance in
clause 4.7.13 of BS 5950-1 regarding the strength and maximum pitch of
interconnections is applicable.

Limits on cross-sections
The design provisions in Sections 3 and 4 should only be applied to
cross-sections within the range of width-to-thickness ratios given in Table B.1
These limits define the range of width-to-thickness ratios for which sufficient
experience and verification by testing is available. These limits are higher than
would normally be used in practice and are therefore not in any way onerous.
For structural efficiency, lower limits are generally used. Furthermore, in cases
where stainless steel is used for aesthetic purposes, smaller limits need to be set
in order to eliminate visual distortions (see Section 3.1).

APPENDIX C
Sections with large internal
corner radii
In the design tables, all the gross and effective section properties were
calculated with internal corner radii, ri, taken as two times the section thickness,
i.e. ri = 2 t; this provides conservative design data for sections with smaller
internal corner radii.
Created on 01 June 2012
This material is copyright - all rights reserved. Use of this document is subject to the terms and conditions of the Steelbiz Licence Agreement
However, for sections with internal corner radii larger than two times the
section thickness, the section properties and the member capacities in the tables
need to be modified. The values may be reduced conservatively as follows:
A g = K 1 A g,D
P t = K 1 P t, D
M c = K 2 M c,D
P c = K 1 P c,D
M b = K 2 M b,D
I = K2 ID
Z = K2 ZD
where Ag, I, Z, Pt, Mc, Pc and Mb are the required section properties and
member capacities of sections with ri > 2 t , i.e. rm > 2.5 t, where rm is the
average corner radius (mid-line).
Ag,D, ID, ZD, Pt,D, Mc,D, Pc,D and Mb,D are section properties and member
capacities of the same section given in the design tables (i.e. with ri = 2 t , and
rm = 2.5 t).
The factors K1 and K2 are given by:
K1 =
1−δ

K2 =

It should be noted that K1 is the correction factor for design data in relation to
area and it is also applicable to both the compression resistance and the tension
capacity of a member. K2 is the correction factor for design data in relation to
second moment of area and it is also applicable to the moment capacity and the
buckling resistance moment of a member. The definition of δ is taken from

For example, for a Grade 1.4301 (304) stainless steel single channel
400×150×15 mm with internal corner radius ri = 2.5 t and rm = 3 t,
i.e. rm = 45 mm, the section properties and the member capacities of the
sections may be evaluated as shown in Table C.1.

Similarly, for the same cross-section with ri = 3 t , K1 = 0.9797 and
K2 = 0.9574. Thus, the compression and bending resistances of the member
given in the design tables should be reduced by about 2% and 4% respectively
in the above example.

From Design Table 40,

distribution within the steel section. Increase in temperature during time interval ∆t is
found from:
∆θ s
=
αc +αr Hp

Eq. 6.25

Assume temperature-time relationship is given by the standard temperature time curve:
θf
Eq. 6.27

Initial input values for determination of steel temperature are as follows:
Hp = 2D+2B

Hp/A = 200 m-1
αc
= 25 W/m2 ºC
Initial steel temperature θ

Resultant emissivity ε

The specific heat is temperature dependent and is given by the following expression:

Reduction of mechanical properties at elevated temperatures
Section 6.2
The following reduction factors are required for calculation of resistance at elevated
temperatures.
Young’s modulus retention factor
kE, θ
= Eθ/E
0.2% proof strength retention factor
kp0.2proof,θ = p0.2proof,θ/py
Ultimate tensile strength retention factor
kU,θ
=Us,θ/Us
The value of the 2% yield strength at elevated temperature is also required for capacity
calculations. This is given by the following expression:
p 2,è
Eq. 6.1
= p 0.2proof,è + g 2,è ( U s,è − p 0.2proof,è )
The values for the retention factor at 829°C are obtained by linear interpolation.

kp0.2proof,θ = 0.339

Hence p2,θ

Assuming, as previously, a triangular moment distribution, βM = 1.8 and using
previously obtained values for λ θ = 1.554 and χθ = 0.262 , µx is calculated as

See Section 8.4.2 for guidance on calculating an effective length which allows for both the effects of end fixity and nominal end moments due to
eccentricity of connection.
Slender sections must also be checked for the combined effects of the axial load and moment caused by the shift of neutral axis, see Section 8.4.2.
* Section is slender under axial compression and allowance has been made in calculating the compression resistance.

See Section 8.4.2 for guidance on calculating an effective length which allows for both the effects of end fixity and nominal end moments due to
eccentricity of connection.
Slender sections must also be checked for the combined effects of the axial load and moment caused by the shift of neutral axis, see Section 8.4.2.
* Section is slender under axial compression and allowance has been made in calculating the compression resistance.

See Section 8.4.2 for guidance on calculating an effective length which allows for both the effects of end fixity and nominal end moments due to
eccentricity of connection.
Slender sections must also be checked for the combined effects of the axial load and moment caused by the shift of neutral axis, see Section 8.4.2
* Section is slender under axial compression and allowance has been made in calculating the compression resistance.

See Section 8.4.2 for guidance on calculating an effective length which allows for both the effects of end fixity and nominal end
moments due to eccentricity of connection.
Slender sections must also be checked for the combined effects of the axial load and moment caused by the shift of neutral axis,
see Section 8.4.2.
* Section is slender under axial compression and allowance has been made in calculating the compression resistance.

Section classification applies to bending about both the x-x and y-y axis.
Moment capacity values in italic type are governed by 1.2pyZ and a higher value may be used in some circumstances.
Mb is obtained using an equivalent slenderness = uvλ(βW 0.5).
In certain cases, Mb may be greater than Mcx, which implies that lateral torsional buckling is not critical.
For explanation of table see Section 8.6.

Section classification applies to bending about both the x-x and y-y axis.
Moment capacity values in italic type are governed by 1.2pyZ and a higher value may be used in some circumstances.
Mb is obtained using an equivalent slenderness = uvλ(βW 0.5).
In certain cases, Mb may be greater than Mcx, which implies that lateral torsional buckling is not critical.
For explanation of table see Section 8.6.

See Section 8.4.2 for guidance on calculating an effective length which allows for both the effects of end fixity and nominal end moments due to
eccentricity of connection.
Slender sections must also be checked for the combined effects of the axial load and moment caused by the shift of neutral axis, see Section 8.4.2.
* Section is slender under axial compression and allowance has been made in calculating the compression resistance.

See Section 8.4.2 for guidance on calculating an effective length which allows for both the effects of end fixity and nominal end moments due to
eccentricity of connection.
Slender sections must also be checked for the combined effects of the axial load and moment caused by the shift of neutral axis, see Section 8.4.2.
* Section is slender under axial compression and allowance has been made in calculating the compression resistance.

See Section 8.4.2 for guidance on calculating an effective length which allows for both the effects of end fixity and nominal end moments due to
eccentricity of connection.
Slender sections must also be checked for the combined effects of the axial load and moment caused by the shift of neutral axis, see Section 8.4.2.
* Section is slender under axial compression and allowance has been made in calculating the compression resistance.
For explanation of table see Section 8.4

See Section 8.4.2 for guidance on calculating an effective length which allows for both the effects of end fixity and nominal end moments due to
eccentricity of connection.
Slender sections must also be checked for the combined effects of the axial load and moment caused by the shift of neutral axis, see Section 8.4.2
* Section is slender under axial compression and allowance has been made in calculating the compression resistance.

See Section 8.4.2 for guidance on calculating an effective length which allows for both the effects of end fixity and nominal end
moments due to eccentricity of connection.
Slender sections must also be checked for the combined effects of the axial load and moment caused by the shift of neutral axis,
see Section 8.4.2.
* Section is slender under axial compression and allowance has been made in calculating the compression resistance.

Section classification applies to bending about both the x-x and y-y axis.
Moment capacity values in italic type are governed by 1.2pyZ and a higher value may be used in some circumstances.
Mb is obtained using an equivalent slenderness = uvλ(βW 0.5).
In certain cases, Mb may be greater than Mcx, which implies that lateral torsional buckling is not critical.
For explanation of table see Section 8.6.

Section classification applies to bending about both the x-x and y-y axis.
Moment capacity values in italic type are governed by 1.2pyZ and a higher value may be used in some circumstances.
Mb is obtained using an equivalent slenderness = uvλ(βW 0.5).
In certain cases, Mb may be greater than Mcx, which implies that lateral torsional buckling is not critical.

See Section 8.4.2 for guidance on calculating an effective length which allows for both the effects of end fixity and nominal end moments due to
eccentricity of connection.
Slender sections must also be checked for the combined effects of the axial load and moment caused by the shift of neutral axis, see Section 8.4.2.
* Section is slender under axial compression and allowance has been made in calculating the compression resistance.
For explanation of table see Section 8.4

See Section 8.4.2 for guidance on calculating an effective length which allows for both the effects of end fixity and nominal end moments due to
eccentricity of connection.
Slender sections must also be checked for the combined effects of the axial load and moment caused by the shift of neutral axis, see Section 8.4.2
* Section is slender under axial compression and allowance has been made in calculating the compression resistance.

See Section 8.4.2 for guidance on calculating an effective length which allows for both the effects of end fixity and nominal end
moments due to eccentricity of connection.
Slender sections must also be checked for the combined effects of the axial load and moment caused by the shift of neutral axis,
see Section 8.4.2.
* Section is slender under axial compression and allowance has been made in calculating the compression resistance.

Section classification applies to bending about both the x-x and y-y axis.
Moment capacity values in italic type are governed by 1.2pyZ and a higher value may be used in some circumstances.
Mb is obtained using an equivalent slenderness = uvλ(βW 0.5).
In certain cases, Mb may be greater than Mcx, which implies that lateral torsional buckling is not critical.
For explanation of table see Section 8.6.

Section classification applies to bending about both the x-x and y-y axis.
Moment capacity values in italic type are governed by 1.2pyZ and a higher value may be used in some circumstances.
Mb is obtained using an equivalent slenderness = uvλ(βW 0.5).
In certain cases, Mb may be greater than Mcx, which implies that lateral torsional buckling is not critical.
For explanation of table see Section 8.6.

See Section 8.4.2 for guidance on calculating an effective length which allows for both the effects of end fixity and nominal end moments due to
eccentricity of connection.
Slender sections must also be checked for the combined effects of the axial load and moment caused by the shift of neutral axis, see Section 8.4.2.
* Section is slender under axial compression and allowance has been made in calculating the compression resistance.

See Section 8.4.2 for guidance on calculating an effective length which allows for both the effects of end fixity and nominal end moments due to
eccentricity of connection.
Slender sections must also be checked for the combined effects of the axial load and moment caused by the shift of neutral axis, see Section 8.4.2
* Section is slender under axial compression and allowance has been made in calculating the compression resistance.

See Section 8.4.2 for guidance on calculating an effective length which allows for both the effects of end fixity and nominal end
moments due to eccentricity of connection.
Slender sections must also be checked for the combined effects of the axial load and moment caused by the shift of neutral axis,
see Section 8.4.2.
* Section is slender under axial compression and allowance has been made in calculating the compression resistance.

Section classification applies to bending about both the x-x and y-y axis.
Moment capacity values in italic type are governed by 1.2pyZ and a higher value may be used in some circumstances.
Mb is obtained using an equivalent slenderness = uvλ(βW 0.5).
In certain cases, Mb may be greater than Mcx, which implies that lateral torsional buckling is not critical.
For explanation of table see Section 8.6.

Section classification applies to bending about both the x-x and y-y axis.
Moment capacity values in italic type are governed by 1.2pyZ and a higher value may be used in some circumstances.
Mb is obtained using an equivalent slenderness = uvλ(βW 0.5).
In certain cases, Mb may be greater than Mcx, which implies that lateral torsional buckling is not critical.
For explanation of table see Section 8.6.
