Abstract
Using the available strength data obtained from previous studies on thin-walled stainless steel beams, the current Australian/New Zealand, American and European design standards for stainless steel structures were evaluated about their accuracy and reliability level. The existing Direct Strength Method (DSM) design formulae in the literature (for carbon steel beams and stainless steel columns) were also evaluated for their applicability to stainless steel beams. Taking the same set of data, more appropriate design formulae in DSM format were proposed for the coupled instability behaviour of stainless steel beams. The proposed formulae were backed up by a reliability analysis.
