CFS now supports the ASCE 8-22 edition of the Specificationfor the Design of Cold-Formed Stainless Steel Members.This includes ASD and LRFD provisions which are closely aligned to the AISI S100-16 provisions.CFS no longer supports the old provisions from ASCE 8-02. The CFS changes to support ASCE 8-22 include:

Founded in 1852, the American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 160,000 civil engineers worldwide and is America's oldest national engineering society. ASCE works to raise awareness of the need to maintain and modernize the nation's infrastructure using sustainable and resilient practices, advocates for increasing and optimizing investment in infrastructure, and improve engineering knowledge and competency.

There are many reasons to use structural stainless steel including its attractiveness, corrosion resistance, fire performance, cyclic loading and energy absorption characteristics (e.g. blast, seismic, impact and similar applications). This article introduces several important new resources that were issued in 2017 for engineers designing with structural stainless steel to either AISC Steel Design Guide 27: Structural Stainless Steel or the Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 1-4: General rules - Supplementary rules for stainless steels (Eurocode EN 1993-1-4).

AISC Steel Design Guide 27: Structural Stainless Steel (2013) is aligned with the 2010 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. It applies to the design of hot-rolled, extruded and welded open and hollow structural sections (HSS) made from austenitic, duplex and precipitation hardening stainless steel structural sections with a thickness of 1/8 inch or 3 mm and greater. Specification of lighter gauge sections should be done with SEI/ASCE 8-02 Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Stainless Steel Structural Members.

New 2017 AISC Stainless Steel Structural Design Tables
The Steel Construction Institute has developed a book of design tables to complement AISC Design Guide 27. They are comparable to what is already provided for other structural steels. Minimizing calculations will make it much easier and faster for engineers to design with structural stainless steel.

IMOA (International Molybdenum Association) is a non-profit industry association, which provides technical information to assist with successful specification of molybdenum-containing materials. Molybdenum is an element. When it is added to stainless steel, molybdenum increases its resistance to corrosion caused by deicing salts, coastal atmosphere and pollution.
