Ziel
The objective of the project is to develop comprehensive design rules suitable for structural elements made from cold worked stainless steel. The overall objective will be achieved by generating test results on commonly used materials grades at a range of cold worked strength levels, developing numerical models based on standardised methods and validated against the test results, developing a methodology in the form of design rules suitable for incorporation into standards which enable cold worked stainless steels to be used cost effectively and safely in structures, ensuring that the deliverables of the project are in a format that is readily disseminated and used in the EU.
