Abstract:
This report describes the numerical investigation of cold-formed, thin-walled stainless steel
sections subject to distortional buckling under compression. Austenitic alloy 304 and ferritic
alloys 430 and 3Cr12 were considered. A finite element model calibrated to the data
gathered in a recent experimental programme (Lecce and Rasmussen 2005) shows that
material anisotropy can be ignored and that an accurate calibration model can be achieved
provided nonlinear yielding and enhanced corner properties are included in the model. FE
analyses of more than 570 simple lipped and lipped channels with intermediate stiffeners
covering a distortional buckling slenderness range 0.47 d 3.64 reveal that enhanced
corner properties may become significant for stocky sections with a large corner area (d <1
with a corner area of at least 10%). The experimental and FE test data were used to evaluate
the Australian, North American and European codes for stainless steel and cold-formed
carbon steel. The evaluation reveals that both the effective width area approach and direct
strength methods are generally inadequate for the design of stainless steel sections. Modified
resistance factors are recommended for the effective width approach of current design codes
to meet limit states design criteria. Direct strength design curves are developed for austenitic
and ferritic stainless steel alloys.

Keywords:
Stainless steel, distortional buckling, cold-formed sections, effective width design, enhanced
corner strength, direct strength method, imperfections, anisotropy, lipped channels,

Introduction

The purpose of this report is to present the numerical investigation of cold-formed stainless
steel sections, based on a recent experimental progamme on cold-formed simple lipped and
lipped channels with intermediate stiffeners made from austenitic 304 and ferritic 430 and
3Cr12 alloys (Lecce and Rasmussen 2005). The experimental and finite element (FE) test
data gathered were used to evaluate current design procedures available for stainless steel.
However, since design codes usually evolve along with cold-formed carbon steel codes, these
were examined also. Finally, design recommendations are made for the design of stainless
steel sections failing in the distortional buckling mode.

Numerical Investigation

2.1 Scope of Numerical Study


Numerical studies were carried out to increase the number of data points, or test points, from
which to draw conclusions and recommendations regarding the distortional buckling
behaviour of stainless steel channel sections. First, a model calibration study was conducted
using the 19 experimental distortional buckling tests by considering the experimentally
measured material and geometric properties. Further numerical studies with respect to
anisotropy, imperfections and element type (S4R vs S4) were carried out to confirm that the
calibration model is valid for a greater range of section geometries and material properties.
Following this, a total of 270 simple lipped channels with a distortional buckling slenderness
range of 0.47 d 3.64 and 306 lipped channels with intermediate stiffeners with a
distortional buckling slenderness range of 0.47 d 3.27 were tested by finite element
analyses. To study the effects of enhanced corner properties, typical brake-pressed r/t ratios
of 1 and 2.5 were chosen.
The FE package ABAQUS (2001), Version 6.4, was used for the numerical analyses
and input files were created using the engineering software FEMGV6.4-02 (FEMSYS 2002).
Specific modelling issues are described in the following subsections.

2.2 Model Calibration


2.2.1 General
All data used to develop the calibration model are reported in Lecce and Rasmussen (2005).
Fixed-end boundary conditions with a uniform displacement applied to one end was used in
the model and represented the actual experimental conditions. To save computational time,
symmetrical failure mode was assumed about the mid-web axis and only half of the crosssection was modelled. This assumption is valid because the experimental tests developed
essentially symmetrical distortional buckling deflections as shown in Figure 2.1. The
boundary conditions are shown in Figure 2.2 and are given with respect to the ABAQUS 1-23 axes which correspond to the x,y and z axes. Over 9000 elements, typically 5mm by 5mm
square were used for the model calibration described here. Images of the mesh from different
perspectives are provided in Figure 2.3. The FE models representing the other experimental
tests are similar. Average measured geometric dimensions for test specimens 304D1a and

304D1b were used in the model (Lecce and Rasmussen 2005). Two sets of analyses were
carried out; one for a positive (+ve) imperfection value, which would trigger inward flange
movement and another for a negative (-ve) imperfection value which would trigger outward
flange movement (as experienced in the experimental test). In the following discussions
these will be referred to as inward model and outward model. The imperfection amplitude,
0.25mm, is equal to the average of the absolute imperfection values measured at mid-height
of the flange-lip junction of all 304D test specimens (304D1a, 304D1b, 304D2a and
304D2b), a method adopted by Hasham and Rasmussen (2002). (The imperfection sign
convention used in Lecce and Rasmussen (2005) is opposite to that used in FE modelling).

For each set of analyses the material model was constructed by considering nonlinear
stress-strain hardening, initial anisotropy, and enhanced corner properties. The discussions in
the following subsections make reference to Figures 2.4 and 2.5.

2.2.2 Elastic Perfectly Plastic Material Model


The first material model considered was an elastic perfectly-plastic material, labelled PP and
the plastic yield stress was equal to the experimentally measured 0.2 (242MPa) determined
from the longitudinal compression coupons of the flats (virgin material). Unsurprisingly this
simplistic material model offered a poor match to the experimental test, as shown in Figures
2.4 and 2.5. Studies in the past have also shown that an elastic perfectly-plastic analysis for
stainless steel leads to erroneous results (Rasmussen et al. 2003). The ultimate FE load to
ultimate experimental test load ratios, Pu,FE/Pu,T, (given in the legends of Figures 2.4 and 2.5)
are 1.23 and 1.14 for inward and outward models, respectively. Evidently by simply
changing the sign of the imperfection, different strengths can be obtained. In this example
the ultimate FE load, Pu,FE, for the inward model is 7.4% greater than the outward model.
Extensive studies (Silvestre and Camotim 2004) on this phenomenon for cold-formed carbon
steel have shown that, for simple lipped channels the elastic post-buckling response leads to a
greater ultimate load if the flanges move inwards and the same result is found here with the
PP model.

2.2.3 Nonlinear Plastic Material Model based on Flats Only

The next model included stainless steel material nonlinearity. The true stresses, t, and true
plastic strains, tp, as required by ABAQUS, were derived from the longitudinal compression
engineering stress-strain data of the 304 flat material using the following equations:
t = e (1 + e )
tp = ln (1 + e )

(1)
t

(2)

Eo

where e and e are the engineering stresses and strains. For this model, only the flat
properties were considered and applied to the entire cross-section. This nonlinear plastic
(NLP) hardening model assumes an initially isotropic (ISO) yield surface described by the

von Mises criterion and expands, or hardens, isotropically. The resulting load vs. end
shortening NLP_ISO curves for inward and outward models correspond to Pu,FE/Pu,T ratios of
1.00 and 0.94 in Figures 2.4 and 2.5, respectively. Clearly the NLP_ISO model is a
significant improvement from the previous PP model and the imperfection sign used in the
model becomes less important in terms of ultimate load. Nevertheless, the shape of the loadend shortening curve is better described by the outward model. It is interesting to examine
the von Mises stress distributions for the NLP_ISO model at ultimate load and these are
shown in Figure 2.6 for inward and outward flange movement (the contours are scaled with
respect to the ultimate load and deflections are amplified).

Figure 2. 6. NLP_ISO Mises Stress Distributions at Ultimate Load for Inward (two left)
and Outward (two right) Flange Movement of a Simple Lipped Channel
At ultimate load, the section with outward flange movement has achieved greater
deflections compared with the model with inward flange movement. As shown in the
contours, both models show high stresses at the lip but the model with outward flange
movement shows higher stresses at the flange-web corner and is likely a consequence of
attaining greater deflections. Furthermore it is evident that the stresses in flange-lip region of
the inward model is greater and consequently so is the ultimate load.

2.2.4 Nonlinear Plastic Material Model based on Flats Only with Initial
Anisotropy
Another material characteristic considered was the anisotropy. By using ABAQUS built-in
modelling tools anisotropy was incorporated in the initial yield surface according to the Hill
criteria described by:

f ( ) = F ( 22 + 33 ) 2 + G ( 33 11 ) 2 + H ( 11 22 ) 2 + 2 L 23

where 0 is the reference yield stress and 0 is the reference shear yield stress, 0 = 0 3 .
The yield criterion only has this form when the principal axes of anisotropy are the axes of
reference. That is, for cold-rolled sheets, the principal axes lie in the direction of rolling,
transversely in the plane of the sheet and normal to this plane (Hill 1950). The 11 is the
stress in the direction of rolling, 22 is transverse to the direction of rolling and 33 is normal
(or through-thickness) anisotropy. By default ABAQUS assumes the direction of rolling is in
the global x-1 axis and maintains this alignment unless the user defines otherwise. ABAQUS
requires the user to define the following stress ratios to satisfy the Hill criteria:

R11 = 11 = 1.00; R22 = 22 = 1.05; R33 = 33 = 1.00;

For the example considered here, the reference stress of the 304 material, 0 is equal
to the 0.2 value (242MPa) given by the longitudinal compression coupon tests of the flats.
Since the test specimens were loaded in the longitudinal direction (with respect to rolling),
the 11 value is equal to 0, giving R11 = 1.00. The 22 value is equal to the transverse yield
stress (254MPa) of the compression coupons and thus R22 = 1.05. The through thickness
anisotropy was assumed to be unity (ie; 33=11=0) which is reasonable for thin plates; thus
R33 = 1.00. The reference shear yield stress, 0 = 0 3 and 12 = 12 3 where 12 is the
diagonal yield stress (244MPa) and thus R12 = 1.01. The ratios R13 = R23 = 1.00. These
strength ratios are defined under the *PLASTIC card in the ABAQUS input file. The material
model assumes that initial anisotropy remains constant and the plastic hardening, or
expansion of the yield surface occurs isotropically. For a 3D model with multiple surfaces, it
is important to define element orientation to ensure that the anisotropy is aligned correctly for
every element and avoid erroneous results. In ABAQUS, this can be accomplished by using
the *ORIENTATION card following the element definition. For the sections modelled in
this study, it was important to map the local element longitudinal 11 direction axis to
coincide with the global z-3-axis (direction of loading) and the transverse direction 22
normal to the 11 direction. (Failure to define the orientation can lead to significant errors,
and this is demonstrated in a separate study presented in Section 2.4).

The results of the nonlinear plastic model with initial anisotropy, NLP_ANISO=5%,
amounted to less than 1% difference in ultimate load compared to the initially isotropic
model, NLP_ISO and the Pu,FE/Pu,T ratios are 1.01 and 0.95 in Figures 2.4 and 2.5,
respectively. These results suggest that material anisotropy has little effect on the ultimate
strength of the sections tested and may be ignored. However, to confirm that this is true also
for sections of different material thicknesses and higher degrees of anisotropy further
investigation was carried out and is described in Section 2.4.

2.2.5 Nonlinear Plastic Material Model with Enhanced Corner Properties


The basic isotropic nonlinear plastic hardening model was modified to include the enhanced
corner properties, which were applied strictly to the corner geometry of the section. The true
stress and true plastic strain properties were derived from the corner coupon stress-strain data
using Eqns. 1 and 2. The NLP_EC_ISO Pu,FE/Pu,T ratios are 1.03 and 1.00 for +ve
imperfection and ve imperfections, respectively (c.f. Pu,FE/Pu,T = 1.00, Pu,FE/Pu,T = 0.94 for
NLP_ISO). Both sets of NLP_EC_ISO results show good agreement with the test result but
the load versus end shortening behaviour is better described by the outward model which
simulates the actual flange movement of the test. Overall, the sign of imperfection seems to
be less important for the inelastic stainless steel material model compared to the elastic
plastic material model. Finally initial anisotropy was included (NLP_EC_ANISO=5%) and
again results show that the effect of anisotropy is negligible.

2.2.6 Calibration Model and All Experimental Tests


The above discussion shows that material nonlinearity and enhanced corner strengths govern
the ultimate section strength of a stainless steel section and initial anisotropy can be
neglected. Thus the NLP_EC material model was used to evaluate all experimental tests.
The imperfection sign does not have a great impact on the ultimate load but rather shows
more influence in the post-ultimate range as seen in the experimental tests. Nevertheless, the
imperfection sign used for the models simulated the actual flange movement observed during
the tests. For sections which developed both inward and outward flange movement along the
specimen length during the test, the imperfection sign assumed in the model was generally
positive. The load vs. end shortening curves obtained from ABAQUS are shown along with
the experimental plots in Figures 2.7 and 2.8 for simple lipped channels and channels with
intermediate stiffeners, respectively. The ultimate loads are summarized in Table 2.1.

Figure 2. 8. Experimental and Calibration FE Load vs. End Shortening Curves for
Lipped Channels with Intermediate Stiffeners
Note that the 304DS1a and 304DS1b tests were the only set of experimental twin tests
where one specimen exhibited inward flange movement and the other exhibited outward
flange movement. The test and FE curves for these tests provide a clear example of the
agreement that can be achieved if the correct flange movement is simulated (see Figure 2.8).
From the plots in Figures 2.7 and 2.8 and Table 2.1, it is evident that very good
agreement between the calibration model and experimental tests was achieved, with a mean
Pu,FE/Pu,T ratio of 0.99 and a coefficient of variation (COV) of 0.0263. The same set of FE
analyses were conducted using S4 elements but the differences in ultimate load were less than
0.5% (and at least double the computational time) thus confirming that S4R elements were
adequate for the analyses of the experimental tests.

2.3 Simple Lipped Channels vs. Lipped Channels with


Intermediate Stiffeners
By FE modelling, it is easy to plot the stress contours and visualize the development of
stresses and deflections of simple lipped channels compared with those of lipped channels
with intermediate stiffeners. To examine this, two sections are considered: the 304D1a/b
simple lipped channel modelled in Section 2.2 with overall dimensions of Bw = 106mm,
Bf = 90mm, Bl = 12.8mm, (d = 0.96) and the 304DS1a/b section with similar overall
dimensions of Bw = 122mm, Bf = 90.6mm, Bl = 12.8mm (d = 0.85). The section length
(800mm) and fixed-end conditions are identical for the two sections. For demonstration
purposes, the material model does not include enhanced corner properties. The von Mises
membrane stress distribution, at ultimate load, is depicted in Figure 2.9 for sections with
inward flange movement.

Figure 2. 9. von Mises Membrane Stresses for Simple lipped Channel (top row) and
Lipped Channel with Intermediate Stiffeners (bottom row) at Maximum Load
From these different views, one can see that the highest membrane stresses are
developed around the flange/lip area for both section types and that intermediate stiffener
provides an obstruction to the spread of stress to the flange-web corner.
Figures 2.10 and 2.11 show the evolution of the mid-surface stresses for the two
different cross-section types through seven images which correspond to the points in the
accompanied load vs. end shortening graph. The contours are scaled with respect to the
stress state of the last increment considered.

Figure 2. 11. Progression of Stress Distributions in a Lipped Channel with Intermediate


Stiffeners
The first four images show the progression of stresses leading up to the ultimate load
(fifth image) and the last two show the post-peak stress development. By comparing Figures
2.10 and 2.11, it is clear that the simple lipped channel develops a higher concentration of
stresses at the flange-web corner whereas the stresses in the channel with intermediate
stiffeners involve a much larger area. This suggests that the latter is much more effective at
distributing the load and therefore more of the cross-section reaches higher loads. This
agrees with experimental results where channels with intermediate stiffeners exhibited greater
material nonlinearity at ultimate load. Overall, the section corners, including intermediate
stiffeners, are responsible to carry higher loads and for this reason it becomes important to
consider the enhanced corner properties in the evaluation of the section strength.

2.4 Modelling Parameters: Further Investigation


The calibration model developed in Section 2.2 provided excellent agreement experimental
tests and cover a distortional buckling slenderness range of 0.76 d 1.10. This section
will confirm that the FE model also works for a greater range of sections by investigating
further the effects of anisotropy, imperfection value and element type (S4R vs S4).

2.4.1 Investigating Anisotropy


From the calibration model, it was evident that material anisotropy had little influence on the
ultimate strength. However, the actual measured anisotropy was relatively low (R22=1.05)
and the question remains whether a higher degree of anisotropy would also have negligible
influence. Three sections with thicknesses 1.96mm, 1mm and 4mm were considered with
overall geometric properties of experimental test 304D1a/b. The corresponding b/t ratios are
54, 106 and 26.5. The imperfection value remained constant (-0.25mm) and the thicknesses
were varied [t=1.96mm, (b/t=54); t=1mm, (b/t=106); t=4mm, (b/t=26.5)]. For each section,
two anisotropy values were checked; the measured experimental anisotropy of 5% and an
exaggerated anisotropy of 50%.
The load versus end shortening curve for b/t=54 is given in Figure 2.12. Evidently,
there is negligible difference between the isotropic (ISO) curve and the 5% anisotropy curve
(ANISO=5%) with a marginal difference in ultimate load of approximately 1%. If the
material anisotropy is exaggerated to 50% (ANISO=50%), the maximum increase in ultimate
load is less than approximately 4%. Figure 2.13 displays the von Mises stresses at the midsurface of the shell elements for an isotropic model (left) and a model with 50% anisotropy
(right). The comparison is made in the post-ultimate range where the axial compression is
approximately 3mm and the load has dropped to approximately 65% of the ultimate. The
contour plots show, as expected, that the transverse stresses developed are greater in the
anisotropic model. For the same b/t ratio, material orientation was omitted from the analysis
[see cyan curve for ANISO=50% (No orient.), Figure 2.12] resulting in a significantly
different behaviour with an ultimate load 17% greater than the correctly oriented model. The
von Mises stress distributions in the post-ultimate state for the models ANISO=50% and
ANISO=50% (No orient.) is given in Figure 2.14 and shows the significantly different stress
distributions. This example is given to demonstrate the importance of correct element
orientation when anisotropy is applied.

Overall, from a practical design-engineering viewpoint, the simple isotropic
hardening plasticity model suffices for statically loaded stainless steel members. However,
anisotropy is affected by material deformation and cold working and more accurate material
modelling may become important for members under cyclic loading. This was shown by
Olsson (1998) and Gozzi (2004) who developed a material model to account for, among other
phenomenological behaviour, the effects of stainless steel material anisotropy and its
evolution under repeated loading.

2.4.2 Investigating Imperfection Magnitude and Element Type


Another modelling issue to consider in greater detail is the imperfection magnitude used. For
the model calibration described in Section 2.2 (section 304D1a/b), the magnitude of the
imperfection (-0.25mm) was equal to the average of the absolute measured imperfection
values at the flange-lip junction located at mid-height. However, to investigate the sensitivity
to imperfections two other magnitudes were considered including the average of the absolute
maximum measured imperfections at the flange-lip junction (-0.32mm) and a calculated

imperfection value according to the adopted Walker (1975) equation given by


d = 0.3t(0.2/cr)0.5, where cr is the critical elastic distortional buckling stress obtained from
the elastic buckling analysis (0.2 = 242MPa, cr = 263MPa, t = 1.96mm; d = -0.56mm).
Figure 2.17 shows the load vs. end shortening results of test specimen 304D1 (used in
the model calibration of Section 2.2) and the FE analyses. Evidently, even if the imperfection
value is doubled, the difference in ultimate load is marginal. It should be noted here that the
distortional buckling slenderness for this fixed ended model is d = (0.2/cr)0.5 = 0.96.

Of the three imperfection values considered, only the Walker imperfection was
calculated from the material and distortional buckling properties which makes the Walker
equation particularly useful when experimentally measured imperfections are unavailable.
Other methods to estimate initial geometric imperfections have been suggested by Schafer
and Pekoz (1998). In their work, two types of imperfections are defined; Type 1: l for local
buckling of the web, and Type 2: d for distortional buckling of the flange-lip and are both
directly proportional to the section thickness. In the suggested probabilistic method,
l = 0.14t and l = 0.66t (d = 0.64t and d = 1.55t ) respectively correspond to 25% and
75% probability that the imperfections will be less than these maximums and will be referred
to as Schafer_25% and Schafer_75%. Type 1 imperfection magnitudes were comparable
with the experimentally measured imperfections of the flange-lip corners and thus only
= 0.14t (Schafer_25%) and = 0.66t (Schafer 75%) were considered. According to these
equations, the imperfections are independent of the section slenderness and increase for
increasing section thickness. Therefore, a stockier section, which is conceivably less
susceptible to develop larger initial imperfections, is penalized. This is unlike the Walker
equation where the imperfection amplitude is proportional to the square root of the
distortional buckling slenderness value so that, keeping all other dimensions the same the
imperfections decrease for increasing section thickness.
Three pin-ended sections with l = 3.122 (local buckling critical), d = 1.203 and
d = 0.637 (distortional buckling critical) were modelled. Both S4R and S4 elements were
considered and the results are presented in Figure 2.18.

The Walker and Schafer_25% imperfections produced similar results for all sections
whereas the Schafer_75% became significantly conservative for the stockier section (see plot
where d = 0.637). The Walker equation is suitable for all sections and conveniently takes
into account the section slenderness and material strength without being overly conservative.

Finally, the results show that there is no significant advantage to using the S4 elements rather
than the S4R.

2.5 Modelling Parameters: Further Investigation


2.5.1 General
The sections tested by FE analyses were proportioned to fail by distortional buckling and the
geometries generally fell within the limitations outlined by the cold-formed carbon steel code
NAS Appendix 1 (2004). The distortional buckling slenderness values ranged from
0.47 d 3.64 for simple lipped channels and 0.47 d 3.27 for lipped channels with
intermediate stiffeners. Section thickness ranged from 1mm to 8mm and r/t ratios of 1 and
2.5 were considered. The corner area to gross area, Ac /Ag ranged from 1.57% to 47%.
Section geometry and material properties are given in Appendix A.

2.5.2 Boundary Conditions and Initial Imperfections


ThinWall (Papangelis and Hancock 1995) finite strip elastic buckling analyses, which
assumes pinned ends, were conducted for each section to determine the critical elastic
buckling stress and buckling half-wavelength. This information was used to initially
construct an ABAQUS model consisting of a column seven half-wavelengths long with fixedend boundary conditions and intermediate pins at each half-wavelength at the flange-web
corners. The boundary conditions prevented overall buckling, whilst allowing distortional
buckling to develop. The critical distortional failure occurred at the middle of the fourth halfwavelength (half the total column length) essentially under pin-ended conditions and this was
confirmed by the excellent agreement found with the critical buckling stress obtained by
ABAQUS with that determined by ThinWall. To save computational time, distortional
buckling symmetry was assumed for all tests and this allowed one quarter (one half of the
total length and one half of the cross-section) of the model to be analysed with the
appropriate boundary conditions. Figure 2.19 shows an image of a channel with intermediate
stiffeners created in FEMGV6.4-02. As shown in the image, three and a half critical
distortional buckling lengths are modeled and at the fixed end, rotations about all axes are set
to zero and only displacements in the 3-axis (z-axis) direction are allowed. At every
distortional buckling critical length, pins are placed at the web-flange corner and
displacements in the 2-axis are set to zero. At the half-length edge, symmetry is used and the
boundary conditions include zero displacement in the 3-axis direction, and zero rotation
about the 1-axis and 2-axis. The number of elements used varied for each test from
approximately 3000 to over 20,000 elements, with a coarser mesh at the fixed end and a finer
mesh at the half-length end where critical distortional buckling failure occurs.

Initial imperfections were included in the nonlinear post-buckling Static Riks analysis
as an amplification of the critical elastic distortional buckling mode. The imperfection
amplitude, d, was based on the Walker equation (1975) where d = 0.3t(fy/fcr)0.5, and fcr is
the critical elastic distortional buckling stress obtained from the FE elastic buckling analyses.

2.5.3 Material Properties


The material properties are based on the longitudinal compression properties for the 304, 430
and 3Cr12 material specified in the AS/NZS 4673 (2001). Enhanced corner properties were
calculated for r/t ratios of 1 and 2.5, where r is the centreline corner radius and t is the section
thickness, and are based on the AS/NZS 4673 (2001) model for predicting corner strength.
The design corner yield strength to design flat yield strength fy,c/fy,f for the 304 material was
2.34 and 1.85 for r/t=1.0 and r/t=2.5, respectively whereas the fy,c/fy,f ratios for the 430 and
3Cr12 material was approximately 1.77 (r/t=1.0) and 1.56 (r/t=2.5). The full-range stressstrain curve proposed by Rasmussen (2003) was used to construct stress-strain data needed
for the material modelling according to the following equations:

True stress and true plastic strains were then calculated using Eqns 1 and 2. Three
sets of FE analyses were carried out for each alloy; the first set used material properties of the
flats only for the entire cross-section and the second and third sets used enhanced material
properties of the corners according to a ratio of r/t=1.0 and r/t=2.5, applied to the corners
only.

2.5.4 FE Test Results


All FE test results are presented in Appendix A. The FE data points have been plotted in
Figures 2.20 to 2.25 in terms of fu/fy versus d, where fu is the ultimate average stress obtained
by FE or experimental tests, fy is the specified minimum yield strength of the flat (or virgin)
material and d is the distortional buckling slenderness given by d = (fy/fcr)0.5. The FE
results are labeled flats, r/t=1and r/t=2.5 representing the material properties used in
the model and Test represents the experimental test results.
The experimental test sections, which had an r/t ratio of approximately 2.5 are in good
agreement with the FE r/t=2.5 test results for all alloys. By comparing the FE results for
alloy 304 with those for alloys 430 and 3Cr12, it is evident that the enhanced corner
properties have the greatest impact on 304 stainless steel sections and this is unsurprising
since the corner strength enhancement was greater for this alloy. (The corner to flat yield
strength ratio for the 304 stainless steel was 2.34 and 1.85 for r/t=1.0 and r/t=2.5,
respectively, whereas the ratios were approximately 1.77 and 1.56 for r/t=1.0 and r/t=2.5 of
the ferritic stainless steel). For simple lipped channels, notable strength improvements (up to
12% for alloy 304 and 6% for alloys 430 and 3Cr12) exist for fairly stocky sections (d <1)
with a corner area of at least 10% whereas sections beyond d >1 exhibit little to no strength
improvements. (See also Tables A.13-A.15 in Appendix A).

Furthermore, the enhanced corner properties have a greater influence on channels
with intermediate stiffeners and the maximum strength enhancement is 25% for the austenitic
alloy with r/t=2.5 and approximately 16% for the ferritic alloys. Again, the effect of
enhanced corner properties is prevalent for stockier sections with a significant corner area.
(See also Tables A.28-A.30 in Appendix A). It should be noted that the data points which
have reached capacities beyond the yield strength, i.e., fu/fy > 1.00, have been plotted but have
been ignored in the development of direct strength design equations.
All results have been superimposed on one plot shown in Figure 2.26. From this plot
one can see that the austenitic 304 band of results are generally lower than the ferritic 430
and 3Cr12 results apart from those sections which have developed greater strengths due to
enhanced corner properties (approximately d <1). This can be explained by the fact that
austenitic stainless steels have a lower proportionality yield strength and experiences
significant loss of stiffness compared to the ferritic stainless steels. The higher strengths in
the stocky slenderness range of the austenitic stainless steels can be attributed to a higher
hardening modulus at large strain values compared with the ferritic stainless steels. The
ferritic 430 and 3Cr12 can be grouped together as their material properties are similar.

2.6 Conclusions of Numerical Investigation


Several conclusions can be made from the numerical investigations including the following:
- Stainless steel material nonlinearity must be accounted for,
- Numerical analyses should be based on the compressive material properties for
the longitudinal direction,
- Anisotropy can be ignored for statically loaded members,
- Distortional buckling flange movement, instigated by the imperfection sign, may
be ignored as it does not have significant consequences for the ultimate load,
- Section corners and intermediate stiffeners carry significant loads and the
accuracy of a model can be improved by including the enhanced corner properties,
- Enhanced corner properties can cause strength increases of approximately 5% or
greater for sections with approximately d <1.0 and with at least 10% corner area
and is more significant for austenitic stainless steels.
- A significant amount of data has been gathered in this numerical study and forms
the basis of design code evaluation and the development of recommendations.

Evaluation of Current Design Practices

3.1 General and Scope


Current cold-formed stainless steel design codes for distortional buckling, including the
Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4673 (2001), the North American ASCE (2002),
and the Eurocode 3 prEN Part 1-4 (2004) in conjunction with prEN Part 1-3 (2004)
(henceforth referred to as EC3 Part 1-4/1-3) have been uncritically based on cold-formed
carbon steel codes and ignore stainless steel material characteristics. It has been unclear
Department of Civil Engineering
Research Report No R845

33

Finite Element Modelling and Design of Cold-Formed Stainless Steel Sections

April 2005

whether current design guidelines for distortional buckling are unconservative or overly
conservative.
The experimental and finite element data presented in Section 2.5 were used to
evaluate the effective width approach (EWA) of the current cold-formed stainless steel codes.
However, because cold-formed stainless steel codes usually evolve along with those for coldformed carbon steel, the EWA and Direct Strength Method (DSM) approaches available in
the AS/NZS 4600 (1996), NAS (2001) and NAS Appendix 1 (2004) were also considered.

3.2 Effective Width Approach


EWA for Simple Lipped Channels
Distortional buckling is treated in the AN/NZS 4673 (2001), ASCE (2002) and the EC3
Part 1-4/1-3 (2004) under the elements section of the codes and the design strength is
calculated according to the EWA. The section capacity is based on local plate instability with
allowance for post-buckling strength development. In the Australian and North American
design standards, a flange is partially stiffened if Is/Ia < 1.0 where Is is the moment of inertia
of the lip and Ia is the adequate moment of inertia required for the flange element to behave
as an adequately stiffened element. The lip effective width, treated as an outstand
compression element is reduced according to the ratio Is/Ia, and the flange element plate
buckling coefficient, kf 4, used to find the flange effective width, takes into account the
distortional buckling. The AS/NZS 4673 (2001) and ASCE (2002) design rules for
distortional buckling are identical and for simple lipped channels are essentially the same as
those provided in the cold-formed carbon steel codes AS/NZS 4600 (1996) and the NAS
(2001).
The EC3 Part 1-4 (2004) for stainless steel distortional buckling refers to the
procedures outlined in the cold-formed carbon steel code, EC3 Part 1-3 (2004), but prescribes
more conservative plate buckling strength curves to take into account stainless steel
nonlinearity (see Appendix B). Aside from this, the design procedures followed are in
accordance with EC3 Part 1-3 (2004). The EC3 Part 1-4/1-3 approach to distortional buckling
differs from that found in the Australian/New Zealand and North American codes in that
rather than using an Is/Ia reduction factors and a reduced flange plate buckling coefficient, a
distortional buckling slenderness reduction factor, d is used to reduce the area of the edge
stiffener (edge stiffener includes the effective lip and one half of the effective flange elements
which have been already reduced for local buckling). The critical buckling stress of the edge
stiffener, which is required for the calculation of the d factor, can be found a) by equations
based on the theory of an elastic foundation (Timoshenko and Gere 1961) and is given by
fcr=2(KEIs)0.5/As where K is the spring stiffness of the edge stiffener and Is and As are
geometric properties of the stiffener, or b) from a rational elastic buckling analysis, such as
that provided by ThinWall or ABAQUS. Both methods of determining fcr are considered and
the former will be referred to as the Traditional method and the latter will be referred to as the
Alternative method. The value of d is optionally refined iteratively (provided that d < 1)
and is done here only for the EC3 Traditional method. From a design perspective, the EC3
Alternative method is easier to use, particularly when the section geometry becomes
complicated.
The design procedures for simple lipped channels are outlined in Appendix B and
gives reference to the appropriate code clauses. The section effective areas and predicted
loads for all tests are also provided in Appendix B (detailed material and geometric properties
are listed in Appendix A). The results of the EWA for Australian/New Zealand, North
American and European codes for the 304, 430 and 3Cr12 alloys are summarized in Tables
3.1 and 3.2 for experimental and FE tests, respectively. The mean test to predicted load
ratios, Pu,t/Pn, standard deviations (stdv) and coefficient of variations (cov) are shown for
each set of results. Two different predicted design strengths have been calculated; the first

set of predicted strengths ignores enhanced corner properties (EC Prop.) and is based on the
total effective area times the yield strength of the flats (Pn=fy,f Ae,t) and fall under the heading
Without EC Prop.. The second set of predicted design strengths includes enhanced corner
properties and is based on the total effective area of the flats times the yield strength of the
flats plus the effective area of the corners times the yield strength of the corners (Pn=fy,f Ae,f +
fy,c Ae,c) and the results fall under the heading With EC Prop.. It should be clarified that the
codes considered do not permit the use of enhanced corner strengths unless a section is fully
effective and is not subject to heat treatment and thus the predicted capacities excluding
enhanced corner properties are apt. However, sections that do actually benefit from enhanced
corner properties (ie experimental and FE r/t=1 and FE r/t=2.5) may partially offset the
detrimental effects of material nonlinearity, making the design strength predictions seem
reasonable. If enhanced corner properties are considered, then the assessment is directed at
determining if the carbon-steel based codes are valid and safe enough to account for stainless
steel material nonlinearity.

Referring to the experimental results and predicted design strengths in Table 3.1 it can
be seen that for all alloys all codes are conservative as long as enhanced corner properties are
ignored. In fact, the EC3 Part 1-4/1-3 (2004) Traditional method is overly conservative. The
discrepancy between the mean Pu,t/Pn EC3 Traditional and Alternative strength predictions
lies in the model to determine the critical elastic buckling stress. In the Traditional method,
the critical buckling stress does not account for the fixed-end conditions whereas the critical
buckling stress used in the Alternative method is obtained from the ABAQUS elastic buckling
analyses of the fixed-ended experimental test models. As explained in Lecce and Rasmussen

(2005) fixed-ends have the effect of increasing the critical distortional buckling strength
compared to a pin-ended section. Therefore, the distortional buckling slenderness is greater
for the Traditional method evaluation leading to a greater reduction for distortional buckling.
If enhanced corner properties are included in the strength prediction, then all codes become
unconservative except for the EC3 Part 1-4/Part 1-3 (2004) Traditional method.
Considering the FE results shown in Table 3.2 the codes are noticeably less
conservative or unconservative compared with the experimental results shown in Table 3.1,
whether enhanced corner properties are ignored in the design strength predictions or not. The
inconsistency between experimental and FE Pu,t/Pn results are due to the differences in end
conditions of the experimental and FE tests. Furthermore, the FE tests cover a much larger
range of cross-sections resulting in a greater spread of data.

Looking at the results for the FE 304 study in Table 3.2, it is clear that all codes fail to
adequately predict the section capacity. As long as enhanced corner properties are ignored,
the Pu,t/Pn ratio marginally improves for r/t=1.0 and even more so for r/t=2.5 when compared
to the Pu,t/Pn of the flats. As seen in Section 2, the sections tested which actually benefit from
the enhanced corner properties are relatively few and therefore the Pu,t/Pn ratios improve only
marginally.

For the ferritic 430 and 3Cr12 alloys, the North American and Australian codes
overestimate the section capacities even if enhanced corner properties are ignored and result
in mean Pu,t/Pn ratios less than 1.00. The EC3 Part 1-4/1-3 (2004) methods work reasonably
well for the ferritic stainless steels and becomes increasingly conservative for r/t=1.0 and
r/t=2.5. For example, the mean Pu,t/Pn ratios for the 430 alloy, listed in Table 3.2 under the
EC3 Alternative method, are 1.05, 1.06 and 1.07 for the flats, r/t=1 and r/t=2.5 test sets,
respectively, provided enhanced corner properties are ignored. Nevertheless, the mean test to
predicted strengths are marginally larger than unity and to satisfy limit states design criteria, a
more conservative resistance factor than currently specified would be required.
EWA for Lipped Channels with Intermediate Stiffeners
The AS/NZS 4673 (2001) and ASCE (2002) EWA for lipped channels with intermediate
stiffeners are identical and are similar to the AS/NZS 4600 (1996) and NAS (2001). For
these codes, the intermediate stiffener of a partially stiffened flange element (where kf < 4) is
completely ignored and the flange element is designed as a simple edge-stiffened element.
The justification for ignoring the intermediate stiffener in cases where kf < 4 was given by
research which suggested that the distortional buckling stress is altered by less than 10%
for sections with flanges that have both intermediate and edge stiffeners compared to those
with just edge stiffeners (NAS Commentary 2002). For cases where kf = 4 the NAS (2001)
allows the designer to take advantage of the added strength given by the intermediate
stiffener. In this case, the effective width for local sub-element buckling and distortional
buckling of the intermediate stiffener are evaluated and the governing buckling mode (local
or distortional) is used to determine the element strength. The treatment of this case differs
from the procedures outlined in the AS/NZS 4673 (2001) where if the intermediate stiffener
satisfies the minimum moment of inertia, an equivalent flange thickness is found and an
effective width is determined by plate local buckling rules. Only a few cross-sections fell
into the case where kf = 4. Example calculations for all cases are provided in Appendix B for
the codes considered.
Only the Alternative method of the EC3 Part 1-4/1-3 (2004) was considered for the
evaluation of the lipped channels with web intermediate stiffeners. The procedures are similar
to those used for the simple lipped channel except that the web elements are also reduced for
distortional buckling of the web intermediate stiffener. Two distortional buckling factors are
calculated, d,f and d,w. The flange critical buckling stress is determined from finite element
analyses of the section (as was done for the simple lipped channels). The critical distortional
buckling stress of the web intermediate stiffener, however, is based on a model of the web
element itself with pinned ends and the reduction d,w applies only to the web intermediate
stiffener plus adjacent effective sub element widths. This procedure completely ignores the
instability of the flange-lip portion and its influence on the stability of the web element.
The results of the code evaluations are provided in Tables 3.3 and 3.4 for
experimental and FE tests. The EWA AS/NZS 4673 (2001) and NAS (2001) results are
identical for the test specimens and seem reasonably conservative as long as enhanced corner
properties are ignored. When the experimental results presented in Table 3.3 are compared
with those in Table 3.1 for simple lipped channels these codes seem more conservative for
channels with intermediate stiffeners. However, the experimental sections in Table 3.3 have
approximately twice the corner area and are stockier compared with simple lipped channels,
contributing to larger Pu,t/Pn ratios. Conversely, the EC3 Part 1-4/1-3 evaluation shows that
the guidelines are unconservative and suggests that the models used to evaluate the effective
widths are inadequate.

When the FE test results are considered (see Table 3.4) it is clear that all codes are
more unsafe than those provided for the simple lipped channels and the necessity of capturing
the stainless steel material behaviour becomes even more apparent. The AS/NZS 4673
(2001) and NAS (2001) provide essentially the same results and overall both are comparable
to the results given by the EC3 Part 1-4/1-3 (2004). The spread in data is also significantly
larger for channels with intermediate stiffeners. For example, the AS/NZS 4367 (2001)
evaluation of the 304/flats results have a mean Pu,t/Pn=0.84 and COV=0.082 for simple
lipped channels and Pu,t/Pn=0.78 and COV=0.143 for channels with intermediate stiffeners.

For alloy 304, the effective area (as determined by the AS/NZS 4673 (2001)) to gross
area ratio, Aeff/Ag, has been plotted against the distortional buckling slenderness, d in Figure
3.1 (note IS=intermediate stiffener). The data points representing the simple lipped
channels generally lie below those for channels with intermediate stiffeners demonstrating
that, for the same distortional buckling slenderness channels with intermediate stiffeners are
more efficient and, for the same distortional buckling slenderness, the calculated Aeff/Ag is
greater than that for a simple lipped channel. However, because channels with intermediate
stiffeners are more efficient sections, and as demonstrated in Section 2, are better at
distributing the load compared to a simple lipped channel, they are also more susceptible to
the detrimental effects of nonlinear material behaviour. (Lecce and Rasmussen (2005)
showed that, at mean ultimate stress, the loss of material stiffness was greater for lipped
channels with intermediate stiffeners compared to simple lipped channels). Bearing in mind
that the EWA methods used to evaluate the design strengths do not account for stainless steel
material nonlinearity, this can help explain why the actual strength to EWA predicted
strength ratios (Pu,t/Pu) for channels with intermediate stiffeners are distinctly lower than
those for simple lipped channels (compare Tables 3.2 and 3.4). The data points that fall
outside the band of results are channels with intermediate stiffeners for which kf = 4 and the
flange intermediate stiffeners were not ignored in the effective width calculations.

Figure 3. 1. Aeff/Ag vs. d for Alloy 304 (Aeff determined by AS/NZS 4673)

The test to predicted load ratios are plotted against the effective to gross area ratio in
Figures 3.2-3.5 for the AS/NZS 4673 (2001) and EC3 Part 1-4/1-3 (2004) Alternative method
evaluations. (Note the predicted design strengths do not incorporate enhanced corner
properties but rather assumes a uniform material model). These graphs reveal that the codes
may be adequate as long as the section is nearly fully effective and/or the section develops
increased distortional buckling stress due to the influence of fixed-ends (see the experimental
test points). Interestingly, the trend for the AS/NZS 4673 evaluation shown in Figures 3.2 and
3.3 is that for Aeff/Ag < 1, Pu,t/Pn increases as Aeff/Ag increases whereas Pu,t/Pn decreases as
Aeff/Ag increases for the EC3 Part1-4/1-3 evaluation (Figures 3.4 and 3.5). Therefore, if
Aeff/Ag is considered as an indication of section slenderness, the AS/NZS 4673 seems to work
better for more stockier sections whereas the EC3 Part1-4/1-3 works better for more slender
sections. In all cases if the distortional buckling slenderness is actually increased by fixed
end conditions, as seen with experimental tests, the Pu,t/Pn ratio is generally greater than
unity. Furthermore, in Figures 3.2-3.5, at Aeff/Ag =1.0, Pu,t/Pn can be greater than 1.0. That is,
the ultimate load is greater than the squash load given by Agfy because of the influence of
enhanced corner properties and because the stress exceeds the proof stress in stocky sections.

In the above equations, fn is the design strength so that the capacity of the section is
calculated as fnAg, fy is the specified yield strength (of the flats), fcr is the critical elastic
distortional buckling stress and d is the distortional buckling slenderness. The curves above,
and the familiar Winter curve for plate buckling, have been plotted with the experimental and
FE test results in Figures 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12 for alloys 304, 430 and 3Cr12 respectively. A
summary of the statistical mean test to predicted strengths are given in Tables 3.5 and 3.6 for
simple lipped channels and channels with intermediate stiffeners. Data points where
fu/fy > 1.0 have been ignored in the statistical evaluations. The plots and tables show that the
DSM curves available in the cold-formed carbon steel codes are unconservative for the

austenitic alloy. At first glance the AS/NZS 4600 (1996) seems reasonable for the ferritic
alloys but it actually fails to provide a safe envelope for sections with approximately
0.8 < d < 1.2 (see Figures 3.11 and 3.12) which is conceivably the common slenderness
range for most practical sections. The NAS Appendix 1 (2004) is generally less conservative
or unconservative for ferritic alloys. Unlike the EWA where the actual to design strength
ratio for channels with intermediate stiffeners were generally lower than that for simple
lipped channels (see Section 3.2), the DSM evaluation leads to a comparable mean fu/fn for
the simple lipped channels and lipped channels with intermediate stiffeners, showing that one
curve will suffice for the two types of cross-sections considered. A new set of design curves
is required for cold-formed stainless steel sections and this is developed in Section 4.

Design Recommendations

4.1 Ultimate Limit States Design Criteria


The following design recommendations have been calibrated to the ultimate limit states
design criteria outlined in the ASCE (2002) code for cold-formed stainless steel. Statistical
data including the mean test to predicted strength ratios and coefficient of variations were
used in the first order second moment (FOSM) reliability analysis.
A dead, D, and live, L, load combination was considered where D/L=1/5. The
derivation of resistance factors uses the statistical mean and COV values for material and
cross-section properties set out in the current standards for cold-formed stainless steel and are
in line with those used for cold-formed carbon steel (ASCE 2002, AS/NZS 4673 2001,
AS/NZS 4600 1996, NAS 2001) including Fm=1.00 (ratio of mean to nominal cross-sectional
property), VF=0.05 (COV of F), and Mm=1.10 (ratio of the mean to the nominal material
property) VM=0.10 (COV of M). (The subscript m represents the mean value). These
statistical data are based on extensive investigations by Lin et al. (1992);(1988). Resistance
factors have been determined for a target reliability index of =3.0 and =2.5. (The ASCE
(2002) specification for cold-formed stainless steel sets =3.0 which is higher than that set in
cold-formed carbon steel codes where =2.5).

4.2

EWA Recommendations

From the design evaluations, it is clear that, apart from the EC3 Part1-4/1-3 for simple lipped
channels, the EWA provided in North American, Australian and European codes are
inadequate for stainless steel sections and require modification to provide safe designs. Van
den Berg (2000) is credited for proposing the use of a plasticity reduction factor to modify the
material model (Es/E0 or Et/E0, where appropriate) used in the effective width design
equations to account for stainless steel nonlinearity but this leads to iterative calculations and
may not be suitable for design engineers. As an immediate solution the recommended
strength resistance factor () can be lowered to meet limit states design criteria.
A summary of the statistical mean and coefficient of variation (COV) of the test to
predicted ratios, Pu/Pn, are provided in Tables 4.1 and 4.2 for simple lipped channels and
Tables 4.3 and 4.4 for lipped channels with intermediate stiffeners. (Note the subscript t
has been dropped). These values are listed for all tests (all experimental and FE analyses)
and for the flats only. The latter reflects the case where enhanced corner properties cannot
be used in design (e.g., welded or annealed sections).

Clearly, the foregoing tables show that a lower factor is needed for austenitic 304
material compared to that required by the ferritic 430 and 3Cr12 alloys. Furthermore, to
avoid over conservatism the factor would also depend on the cross-section type. For
example, if a target reliability index of = 2.5 for is considered for the EWA of the AS/NZS
4673 (2001) then the recommended factor for the 430/3Cr12 ferritic alloys is 0.8 for simple
lipped channels and 0.7 for channels with intermediate stiffeners.

4.3 Recommended Direct Strength Design Curves


From the experimental and FE studies it is clear that design recommendations can be
developed for two groups one for austenitic stainless steels and the other for ferritic
stainless steels. The austenitic group requires a more conservative, or lower design curve,
compared to the ferritic group. The following design curves are based on all experimental
and FE results for distortional bucking of simple lipped channels and channels with
intermediate stiffeners.
For Austenitic Stainless Steels:
fn

fy

for

d 0.533

f n 0.80 0.15
=

f y d 1.1 d 2.2

for

(9a)

d > 0.533

(9b)

For Ferritic Stainless Steels and 3Cr12:


fn

d 0.533

f n 0.90 0.20
=

f y d 1.1 d 2.2

for

(10a)

d > 0.533

(10b)

and,
d =

fy

(11)

f cr

In the above equations, fn is the design strength, fy is the specified yield strength (of
the flats), fcr is the critical elastic distortional buckling stress and d is the distortional
buckling slenderness. The two sets of equations are valid for the same range of d and differ
only with the respect to the constants in the numerators of the equations.
The proposed design curves have been plotted in Figures 4.1 and 4.2 for the austenitic
304 and ferritic 430/3Cr12 alloys, respectively. A summary of the statistical mean, standard
deviation and coefficient of variation of the test to predicted strengths are given in Table 4.5.

Tables 4.6 and 4.7 show that if =2.5, a recommended value of 0.90 would be
suitable for all alloys. For sections which are subject to heat treatment or welding it would be
prudent to use a factor of 0.85. The resistance factor = 0.90 is based on all tests
(experimental plus FE analyses) whereas = 0.85 is based on the FE flats tests which
represent those sections unaffected by cold working in the corners (i.e., no enhanced corner
properties). By comparison if =3.0 the recommended value is 0.80 (0.75 for sections
subject to heat treatment).

Conclusions

The results of the foregoing study shows that the behaviour of stainless steel cross-sections
subject to distortional buckling can be adequately modeled by considering nonlinear yielding
and enhanced corner properties. Anisotropy makes little difference to the ultimate load, even
at high degrees of anisotropy. S4R elements and the Walker equation for determining
geometric imperfection amplitudes provide reliable results for a large range of cross-sections.
The FE study of more than 570 tests show that enhanced corner properties may
become significant for stocky sections d <1 with at least 10% corner area. The effects of
enhanced corner properties may be ignored for slender sections or sections with a low
percentage of corner area. The effects of nonlinearity are more pronounced for the austenitic
304 alloy sections which achieve lower strength compared with ferritic sections. However,
the strength enhancement for the 304 material is greater than that for ferritic alloys and
consequently, the stocky 304 sections are able to achieve greater strengths.
The effective width evaluation for the experimental tests (fixed-ends) show that the
current codes are reasonably safe. However, if the FE tests (pin-ended) sections are
considered, the codes become unsafe, even if enhanced corner properties are ignored in
design calculations (except for EC3 Part1-4/1-3 for simple lipped channels). Furthermore, the
effective width evaluations of lipped channels with intermediate stiffeners are distinctly more
unsafe than those for simple lipped channels and this accentuates the necessity of capturing
the stainless-steel low proportionality yield stress and early loss of stiffness. Direct strength
methods currently used for cold-formed carbon steel are inadequate for stainless steel.
Design recommendations, which include modified resistance factors for the EWA
methods and DSM design curves for austenitic and ferritic alloys have been proposed.

Finite Element Modelling and Design of Cold-Formed Stainless Steel Sections

April 2005

Appendix B
This appendix shows the evaluation of current design codes for simple lipped channels and
channels with intermediate stiffeners. The stainless steel codes considered are the AS/NZS
4673 (2001) which is equivalent to the ASCE (2002) and the Eurocode 3 Part1-4 (2004)/Part 13 (2004). The cold-formed carbon steel codes AS/NZS 4600 (1996) and NAS (2001) and NAS
Appendix 1 (2004) are also considered and references to applicable clauses are provided. The
general notation used in the following pages are shown below. NOTE that EC3 code uses
centreline dimensions in calculations. Also, the sections used for FE analyses are defined at the
centreline (see Appendix A).
