Abstract
In recent years, probability-based load-and-resistance-factor-design (LRFD) method has been successfully applied to the design of hot-rolled steel sections and cold-formed steel members in the United States and foreign countries. In order to develop the LRFD criteria for the design of cold-formed stainless steel structural members and connections, a research project was conducted at the University of Missouri-Rolla since 1986 under the sponsorship of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). This newly developed LRFD Specification with Commentary has been adopted by ASCE as a new standard in 1990. It supersedes the 1974 edition of the Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Stainless Steel Structural Members issued by the American Iron and Steel Institute. The basic theory of probability-based design approach and the development of the ASCE LRFD criteria for cold-formed stainless steel structural members are presented in this paper. © ASCE.
