This reference highlights the key structural benefits of stainless steel alloys by analysing relevant test results and available design rules to date and propose rational design guidelines where appropriate. There is a long history of the usage of stainless steel reinforcement in composite construction. This book will briefly review that history but will thoroughly investigate the structural performance of concrete filled stainless steel members. This field has gained significant interest amongst researchers and available test results will be analysed to examine the performance of existing design rules and new proposals will be made where appropriate. Behaviour and Design of Stainless Steel Structures covers material characterisation, design of stainless steel members as well as connections, design in fire conditions and analysis and design of composite members, and will include frequent references to available design codes as well as to proposed design rules such as Continuous Strength Method (CSM) and Direct Strength Method (DSM), where appropriate.
