Material properties and partial factors for resistance of high-strength steels in China
G Shi, X Zhu, H Ban - Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2016 - Elsevier
High strength structural steels (HSS) with a nominal yield strength fy≥ 460 MPa have begun
to be applied in many steel structures. This paper focuses on material properties of the HSS
fabricated in China and calibration of partial factors for resistance based on the theory of
structural reliability. An extensive range of material property data of 500 MPa, 550 MPa and
690 MPa steels produced by major steel manufacturers in China (over 10,000 samples) was
collected. Besides, independent material tests were carried out. The statistical parameters of …
