ASCE LRFD Method for Stainless Steel Structures
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 118, Issue 4
Abstract
In recent years, probability‐based load‐and‐resistance‐factor‐design (LRFD) method has been successfully applied to the design of hot‐rolled steel sections and cold‐formed steel members in the United States and foreign countries. In order to develop the LRFD criteria for the design of cold‐formed stainless steel structural members and connections, a research project was conducted at the University of Missouri‐Rolla since 1986 under the sponsorship of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). This newly developed LRFD Specification with Commentary has been adopted by ASCE as a new standard in 1990. It supersedes the 1974 edition of the Specification for the Design of Cold‐Formed Stainless Steel Structural Members issued by the American Iron and Steel Institute. The basic theory of probability‐based design approach and the development of the ASCE LRFD criteria for cold‐formed stainless steel structural members are presented in this paper.
