What is Web Bearing Test of Cold‐Formed Austenitic Stainless‐Steel Channels Under Interior Loading about?
## Abstract Ductility, durability and high corrosion resistance of stainless steels make them appealing to use in construction industry. When used as structural sections, they are, however, subjected to localised failure in the web. This study aims to examine the structural behaviour of cold‐formed austenitic stainless steel channels under localised interior bearing loads. The results of 21 tests on unlipped channels with different cross section sizes and thicknesses are presented. Nonlinear quasi‐static Finite Element (FE) model is then developed. The FE model is validated against experimental test results and demonstrated good agreement in terms of bearing strength and failure modes. In addition, the experimental and FE results are used to compare the results against the results predicted in accordance with the American specification SEI/ASCE 8:2002 and European Standard EN 1993‐1‐4:2006. It is found that the current design equations are unreliable and too unconservative to use for cold‐formed austenitic stainless steel unlipped channels, especially when compared to SEI/ASCE 8:2002, as much as 41%.
