AB  - The Continuous Strength Method (CSM) is a deformation based design approach that provides accurate cross-section resistance predictions by making rational allowance for the interaction between  cross-section  elements,  the partial  spread  of  plasticity  and  the  beneficial  effects  of strain hardening. The CSM can be used in conjunction with advanced analysis for the design of members and frames, but, for hand calculations, member-level stability checks are currently limited to stainless steel hollow section columns failing by flexural buckling. Extension to the design of stainless steel members subjected to combined compression and bending moment is presented in this paper. The analysis is based on numerical results and existing experimental data collected from the literature on stainless steel hollow section members, including members with stocky and slender cross-sections. Comparisons demonstrate that the adoption of the CSM design equations in conjunction with both current and revised interaction factors considerably improves the accuracy of beam-column capacity predictions for members with stocky cross-sections. The  analysis  on  beam-columns  with  slender  sections  shows that similar resistance predictions  are  obtained using Eurocode  3  and  the  CSM. The  reliability  of  the  proposed approach is demonstrated through statistical analyses performed in accordance with EN1990.
