TY  - JOUR
AB  - The behaviour and design of pin-ended stainless steel equal-leg angle section members under compression and compression plus minor-axis bending are investigated herein. The studied members are cylindrically pinned about the minor axis. An experimental investigation, including material testing, initial geometric imperfection measurements and physical tests on hot-rolled stainless steel equal-leg angle section members is first presented. Numerical models are developed and validated against the new experimental data. A numerical parametric study is then presented considering both hot-rolled and cold-formed stainless steel angle section columns alongside beam–columns with a wide range of slenderness values. Finally, new design proposals for pin-ended stainless steel equal-leg angle section members under compression and combined compression and minor-axis bending are developed and verified against the results of existing physical experiments, as well as the newly-generated test and numerical results. The proposed design rules are shown to offer substantially more accurate and consistent resistance predictions compared to existing codified design rules. The reliability of the new design provisions, with a recommended partial safety factor γM1 = 1.1, is verified following the EN 1990 procedure.
