Objective

Stainless steel is gaining usage in the construction industry due to its durability, maintainability, fire resistance and aesthetic merits. However, design standards do not allow its full potential to be realised, leading to increased costs and restricted usage. This project intends to promote the use of stainless steel through the development of structural design guidance generated by research involving testing and numerical analysis. The research will produce design software and rules for inclusion in Eurocode 3: Part 1.4.
