The Steel Construction Institute has announced that its online stainless steel in construction information centre www.stainlessconstruction.com is now available. Euro Inox, ICDA, IMOA, ISSF and Nickel Institute under the roof of Team Stainless have asked The Steel Construction Institute to prepare a set of activities which shall develop structural applications of stainless steel. These include: an online information centre, i.e. a portal including both structural and non structural building applications of stainless steel; a set of case studies; design guidance on the use of high strength stainless steel; model specifications; and a cost assessment (enabling decision makers to develop realistic idea about the cost differential between carbon steel and stainless steel solutions). This will give users access to virtually all the information available from SSDAs on stainless steel building applications. It includes publications in English. Nearly 140 resources have been added to this online database.
