“…Although Ryan's results suggested the removal of the 0.9 reduction factor in the net section resistance formula (which is also employed in the design formula for hot-rolled carbon steel [13]), it was recommended to maintain the k r factor (employed for cold-formed carbon steel in EN 1993-1-3 [14]) until such time that the number of tests provided full justification for its removal. Bouchair et al [15] developed numerical models to replicate the behaviour of experimental specimens, and recommended that the reduction factor k r in the net section design equation and the influence of the end and edge distances on bearing behaviour require further investigation.…”

Despite fundamental differences in the mechanical behaviour of stainless steel and carbon steel, design provisions for stainless steel connections in current standards essentially follow the rules for carbon steel with some limited modifications. For the case of net section capacity, the design rules from EN 1993-1-3 for cold-formed carbon steel have been adopted for stainless steel connections in EN 1993-1-4 and the SCI/Euro Inox Design Manual without any modification. In this paper, an investigation into the behaviour of stainless steel connections failing by net section rupture has been conducted. Numerical models for austenitic and ferritic stainless steel have been developed and validated against existing test results. The validated models were subsequently used to perform parametric studies to investigate the main parameters affecting the net section rupture of bolted connections; these include edge distance and bolt configuration. By studying the stress distribution along the net section for different edge distances and bolt arrangements, it was found that the ductility of stainless steel is sufficient to ensure extensive redistribution of stresses prior to fracture. Hence, a revised design equation (based on that given in EN 1993-1-3) for net section capacity of stainless steel connections has been proposed and its reliability demonstrated by means of statistical analysis

“…By comparing the results with those from static analysis and tests, it was shown that the explicit dynamic solver, with a proper control, gives satisfactory predictions of the responses of steel connections up to post-failure deformations. Bouchair et al [18] studied the behavior of stainless steel bolted connections.…”
