Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is a promising metal 3D printing technique in the construction industry for its ability to produce large and complex-shaped elements, with …
Since the establishment of the Eurocode design provisions for structural stainless steel, a considerable amount of both statistical material data and experimental results on structural …
In current structural stainless steel design codes, local buckling is accounted for through a cross-section classification framework, which is based on an elastic, perfectly-plastic …
Stainless steel has been gaining increasing use in a variety of engineering applications due to its unique combination of mechanical properties, durability and aesthetics. Significant …

Previous studies on stainless steel tubular section beam-columns have revealed shortcomings in established codified design methods. These shortcomings stem principally …
In structural frames, second order effects refer to the internal forces and moments that arise as a result of deformations under load (ie geometrical nonlinearity). EN 1993-1-1 states that …

The current codified treatment of local buckling in stainless steel cross-sections is based on the traditional cross-section classification framework and a simplified elastic, perfectly-plastic …
This paper reports a detailed numerical (FE) study on planar stainless steel beam-to-column joints. A nonlinear FE model is developed and validated against the first set on full-scale …
