Abstract

The aim of this publication is to provide design guidance and information to assist engineers in designing cold-formed stainless steel sections for use as structural members in both onshore and offshore construction. A comprehensive set of Design Tables is presented giving gross and effective section properties, section classification and member capacities for the wide range of cold-formed stainless steel sections. The structural forms covered by the Design Tables are rectangular and square hollow sections, channels, double channels back to back, equal angles, and double equal angles back to back. The grades of stainless steel covered are austenitic stainless steel grades 304, 316 and low carbon 316L, and also duplex 2205. This publication will greatly facilitate the design process for structural cold-formed stainless steel sections and thereby encourage more competitive design.
