Stainless Steel Section Properties

Stainless steel is a family of iron based alloys that contain a minimum of approximately 11 chromium a composition that prevents the iron from rusting as well as providing heat resistant properties.

This specification covers cold formed welded carbon steel hollow structural sections hss for welded or bolted construction. The structural forms covered by the design tables are circular rectangular and square hollow sections channels double channels back to back equal angles and equal angles back to back. Presented giving gross and effective section properties section classification and member capacities for a wide range of cold formed stainless steel sections.

316 stainless steel properties grade 316 stainless steel comes with a minimum tensile stress of 515 mpa a minimum yield stress of 205 mpa and a minimum elongation of 40 in 50mm. Rectangular structural tube per. Properties of these shapes include cross section area shear areas torsion constant moments of inertia product moments of inertia section moduli radii of gyration warping constant centroid and shear center locations and principal axis orientation.

Stainless steels and updating all the references to draft eurocodes. Structural stainless steel and presented in an equivalent set of tables to those in the aisc steel construction manual for carbon steel sections. The structural fire design approach in section 8 has been updated and new sections on the durability of stainless steel in soil and life cycle costing have been added.
