Synopsis
Resilient design has become critical as the frequency and magnitude of natural and human-induced disasters has increased. Unless the risk of catastrophic events is short term, the system should also retain its’ structural and functional integrity during years of standard service but not all materials are both resilient and sustainable.
The contribution of stainless steel’s inherent properties to resilient design will be reviewed and case study examples provided, including its’ ability to absorb energy (i.e. blast, impact, seismic events, landslide), use in flood and water control barriers, fire performance, and high wind loading. The role of appropriate alloy selection from the standpoint of corrosion performance will be briefly reviewed as will the new AISC 370-21 and revised ASCE 8-22 structural design standards for stainless steel.
Prerequisite Knowledge:
Attendees should have an understanding the fundamentals of resilient design.
HSW Justification:
Resilient design is critical to human health, safety and welfare as the frequency and magnitude of natural and human-induced disasters has increased.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn what resiliency and sustainability are and how they relate to one another.
- Review the resilient material characteristics of stainless steel and how it compares with other metals.
- See examples of human-caused and natural disasters and how stainless steel is being used to provide sustainable and resilient solutions.
- The new and revised stainless steel structural design resources from AISC and ASCE and the Homeland and other standards work occurring at ASTM will be reviewed.
