Abstract
AbstractAlthough stainless steel mechanical properties are similar to their carbon steel counterparts, the nonlinear stainless steel characteristics naturally leads to diverse design recommendations. These peculiar features directly modifies the behaviour of the ultimate limit states related to instability. The Eurocode 3: Part 1‐4 (2006) stainless steel design standard can be utilised for hot‐rolled, welded and cold‐formed cross‐sections, but this standard prescriptions are very conservative due to the lack of tests. An instability limit state that presses for additional research is associated to hot‐rolled stainless steel angles. This paper is centred in experiments made on hot‐rolled carbon and stainless columns steel equal legs angles under compression. These experiments were carried out on 500 mm to 1000 mm columns lengths with failures involving flexural‐torsional buckling.
