abstract
Structural stainless steel elements at elevated temperatures behave differently than structural carbon steels. To analyse this behaviour, a set of three-point bending tests on 150x100 RHS, Class 1 cross-section, stainless steel grade 1.4301 beams at elevated temperatures were conducted. Numerical modelling of these tests has been afterwards performed at the measured temperatures, achieving close approximation to observed experimental results.
To analyse the structural behaviour of stainless steel members at elevated temperatures, a set of three-point bending tests on RHS 150x100x5 beams of the grade 1.4301 were conducted. Numerical modelling of these tests has been afterwards performed at the measured temperatures, achieving close approximation to observed experimental results. Analytical methods to predict the load-deflection behaviour are also analysed.
