Synopsis:

Stainless steel structures in civil and structural engineering are firstly introduced. Bolted connections are one of the most commonly used connection types in carbon steel and stainless steel structures. However, the connection design rules in the cold-formed stainless steel (CFSS) international design specifications are applicable at room temperature condition only. Currently, there is no design rule for CFSS bolted connections at elevated temperatures. This seminar will discuss the investigation of CFSS bolted connections at room and high temperatures, and the recent research development for the bolted connection design of CFSS at elevated temperatures.
