Sustainable and resilient infrastructure using stainless steel

本项目将研究不锈钢在钢框架建筑物中的关键连接部分（即接头）的使用。将研究来自传统和增材制造生产路线的不锈钢部件。通过集中的实验室测试和详细的数值模拟相结合，该项目旨在生成必要的基本数据和了解不锈钢结构元件对极端载荷的响应，并提供目前缺乏的技术信息，以便对材料选择做出明智的判断。根据实验研究和相关数值模拟的结果，将制定关于战略性使用不锈钢以增强基础设施复原力的指导。

This project will investigate the use of stainless steel for key connection parts i.e. joints in steel framed buildings. Stainless steel components from both conventional and additive manufacturing production routes will be studied. Through a combination of focussed laboratory testing and detailed numerical modelling, this project aims to generate the necessary fundamental data and understanding on the response of stainless steel structural elements to extreme loads and to provide the currently lacking technical information to enable an informed judgement on material selection. On the basis of the findings of the experimental study and of the associated numerical modelling, guidance on the strategic use of stainless steel for enhanced resilience of infrastructure will be developed.
