Preface As a student or graduate engineer it is difficult to source basic design data. Having been unable to find a compact book containing this information, I decided to compile my own after seeing a pocket book for architects. I realised that a Structural Engineer’s Pocket Book might be useful for other engineers and construction industry professionals. My aim has been to gather useful facts and figures for use in preliminary design in the office, on site or in the IStructE Part 3 exam, based on UK conventions. The book is not intended as a textbook; there are no worked examples and the information is not prescriptive. Design methods from British Standards have been included and summarized, but obviously these are not the only way of proving structural adequacy. Preliminary sizing and shortcuts are intended to give the engineer a ’feel’ for the structure before beginning design calculations. All of the data should be used in context, using engineering judgement and current good practice. Where no reference is given, the information has been compiled from several different sources. Despite my best efforts, there may be some errors and omissions. I would be interested to receive any comments, corrections or suggestions on the content of the book by email at [email protected]. Obviously, it has been difficult to decide what information can be included and still keep the book a compact size. Therefore any proposals for additional material should be accompanied by a proposal for an omission of roughly the same size – the reader should then appreciate the many dilemmas that I have had during the preparation of the book! If there is an opportunity for a second edition, I will attempt to accommodate any suggestions which are sent to me and I hope that you find the Structural Engineer’s Pocket Book useful. Fiona Cobb

Structural form, stability and robustness Structural form It is worth trying to remember the different structural forms when developing a scheme design. A particular structural form might fit the vision for the form of the building. Force or moment diagrams might suggest a building shape.

Structural Engineer’s Pocket Book
Stability Stability of a structure must be achieved in two orthogonal directions. Circular structures should also be checked for rotational failure. The positions of movement and/or acoustic joints should be considered and each part of the structure should be designed to be independently stable and robust. Lateral loads can be transferred across the structure and/or down to the foundations by using any of the following methods:
. Cross bracing which carries the lateral forces as axial load in diagonal members. . Diaphragm action of floors or walls which carry the forces by panel/plate/shear action. . Frame action with ‘fixed’ connections between members and ‘pinned’ connections at the supports.
. Vertical cantilever columns with ‘fixed’ connections at the foundations. . Buttressing with diaphragm, chevron or fin walls. Stability members must be located on the plan so that their shear centre is aligned with the resultant of the overturning forces. If an eccentricity cannot be avoided, the stability members should be designed to resist the resulting torsion across the plan.
Robustness and disproportionate collapse All structural elements should be effectively tied together in each of the two orthogonal directions, both horizontally and vertically. This is generally achieved by specifying connections in steel buildings as being of certain minimum size, by ensuring that reinforced concrete junctions contain a minimum area of steel bars and by using steel straps to connect walls and floors in masonry structures. It is important to consider robustness requirements early in the design process. The Building Regulations require buildings of five or more storeys (excluding the roof) to be designed for disproportionate collapse. This is intended to ensure that accidental damage to elements of the building structure cannot cause the collapse of a disproportionately large area of a building. The disproportionate collapse requirement for public buildings with a roof span of more than 9 m appears to have been removed from the regulations. Typically the Building Regulations require that any collapse caused by the failure of a single structural element should be limited to an area of 70 m2 or 15% of any storey area (whichever is the lesser). Alternatively the designer can strengthen the structure to withstand the ‘failure’ of certain structural supports in order to prevent disproportionate collapse. In some circumstances the structure cannot be arranged to avoid the occurrence of ‘key elements’, which support disproportionately large areas of the building. These ‘key elements’ must be designed as protected members (to the code of practice for the relevant structural material) to provide extra robustness and damage resistance.

Structural movement joints Joints should be provided to control temperature, moisture, acoustic and ground movements. Movement joints can be difficult to waterproof and detail and therefore should be kept to a minimum. The positions of movement joints should be considered for their effect on the overall stability of the structure.
Primary movement joints Primary movement joints are required to prevent cracking where buildings (or parts of buildings) are large, where a building spans different ground conditions, changes height considerably or where the shape suggests a point of natural weakness. Without detailed calculation, joints should be detailed to permit 15–25 mm movement. Advice on joint spacing for different building types can be variable and conflicting. The following figures are some approximate guidelines based on the building type:
Concrete
25 m (e.g. for roofs with large thermal differentials)– 50 m c /c.
Steel industrial buildings
100 m typical–150 m maximum c /c.
Steel commercial buildings
50 m typical–100 m maximum c /c.
Masonry
40 m–50 m c /c.
Secondary movement joints Secondary movement joints are used to divide structural elements into smaller elements to deal with the local effects of temperature and moisture content. Typical joint spacings are: Clay bricks
Up to 12 m c/c on plan (6 m from corners) and 9 m vertically or every three storeys if the building is greater than 12 m or four storeys tall.
Concrete blocks
3 m–7 m c/c.
Hardstanding
70 m c/c.
Steel roof sheeting
20 m c/c down the slope, no limit along the slope.

Fire resistance periods for structural elements Fire resistance of structure is required to maintain structural integrity to allow time for the building to be evacuated. Generally, roofs do not require protection. Architects typically specify fire protection in consultation with the engineer. Building types

Temporary works toolkit Steel trench prop load capacities Better known as ‘Acrow’ props, these adjustable props should conform to BS 4704 or BS EN 1065. Verticality of the loads greatly affects the prop capacity and fork heads can be used to eliminate eccentricities. Props exhibiting any of the following defects should not be used:
. . . . .
A tube with a bend, crease or noticeable lack of straightness. A tube with more than superficial corrosion. A bent head or base plate. An incorrect or damaged pin. A pin not properly attached to the prop by the correct chain or wire.

Design Data
Soldiers Slim soldiers, also known as slimshors, can be used horizontally and vertically and have more load capacity than steel trench props. Lengths of 0.36 m, 0.54 m, 0.72 m, 0.9 m, 1.8 m, 2.7 m or 3.6 m are available. Longer units can be made by joining smaller sections together. A connection between units with four M12 bolts will have a working moment capacity of about 12 kNm, which can be increased to 20 kNm if stiffeners are used.

Slimshor moment capacity Source: RMD Kwikform (2002).
Ladder beams Used to span horizontally in scaffolding or platforms, ladder beams are made in 48.3f 3.2 CHS, 305 mm deep, with rungs at 305 mm centres. All junctions are saddle welded. Ladder beams can be fully integrated with scaffold fittings. Bracing of both the top and bottom chords is required to prevent buckling. Standard lengths are 3.353 m (110 ), 4.877 m (160 ) and 6.400 m (210 ). Manufacturers should be contacted for loading information. However, if the tension chord is tied at 1.5 m centres and the compression chord is braced at 1.8 m centres the moment capacity for working loads is about 8.5 kNm. If the compression chord bracing is reduced to 1.5 m centres, the moment capacity will be increased to about 12.5 kNm. The maximum allowable shear is about 12 kN.
Unit beams Unit beams are normally about 615 mm deep, are about 2Z.5 times stronger than ladder beams and are arranged in a similar way to a warren girder. Loads should only be applied at the node points. May be used to span between scaffolding towers or as a framework for temporary buildings. As with ladder beams, bracing of both the top and bottom chords is required to prevent buckling, but diagonal plan bracing should be provided to the compression flange. Units can be joined together with M24 bolts to make longer length beams. Standard lengths are 1.8 m (60 ), 2.7 m (90 ) and 3.6 m (120 ) Manufacturers should be contacted for loading information. However, if the tension chord is tied at 3.6 m centres and the compression chord is braced at 2.4 m centres the moment capacity for working loads is about 13.5 kNm. If the compression bracing is reduced to 1.2 m centres, the moment capacity will be increased to about 27.5 kNm. The maximum allowable shear is about 14 kN.

9 Structural Steel The method of heating iron ore in a charcoal fire determines the amount of carbon in the iron alloy. The following three iron ore products contain differing amounts of carbon: cast iron, wrought iron and steel. Cast iron involves the heat treatment of iron castings and was developed as part of the industrial revolution between 1800 and 1900. It has a high carbon content and is therefore quite brittle which means that it has a much greater strength in compression than in tension. Typical allowable working stresses were 23 N/mm2 tension, 123 N/mm2 compression and 30 N/mm2 shear. Wrought iron has relatively uniform properties and, between the 1840s and 1900, wrought iron took over from cast iron for structural use, until it was in turn superseded by mild steel. Typical allowable working stresses were 81 N/mm2 tension, 61 N/mm2 compression and 77 N/mm2 shear. ’Steel’ can cover many different alloys of iron, carbon and other alloying elements to alter the properties of the alloys. The steel can be formed into structural sections by casting, hot rolling or cold rolling. Mild steel which is now mostly used for structural work was first introduced in the mid-nineteenth century.
Types of steel products Cast steel Castings are generally used for complex or non-standard structural components. The casting shape and moulding process must be carefully controlled to limit residual stresses. Sand casting is a very common method, but the lost wax method is generally used where a very fine surface finish is required.
Cold rolled Cold rolling is commonly used for lightweight sections, such as purlins and wind posts, etc. Work hardening and residual stresses caused by the cold working cause an increase in the yield strength but this is at the expense of ductility and toughness. Cold rolled steel cannot be designed using the same method as hot rolled steel and design methods are given in BS 5950: Part 5.
Hot rolled steel Most steel in the UK is produced by continuous casting where ingots or slabs are pre-heated to about 1300 C and the working temperatures fall as processing continues through the intermediate stages. The total amount of rolling work and the finishing temperatures are controlled to keep the steel grain size fine – which gives a good combination of strength and toughness. Although hollow sections (RHS, CHS and SHS) are often cold bent into shape, they tend to be hot finished and are considered ‘hot rolled’ for design purposes. This pocket book deals only with hot rolled steel.

Examples of minimum bend radii for selected steel sections The minimum radius to which any section can be curved depends on its metallurgical properties, particularly its ductility, cross sectional geometry and end use (the latter determines the standard required for the appearance of the work). It is therefore not realistic to provide a definitive list of the radii to which every section can be curved due to the wide number of end uses, but a selection of examples is possible. Normal bending tolerances are about 8 mm on the radius. In cold rolling the steel is deformed in the yield stress range and therefore becomes work hardened and displays different mechanical properties (notably a loss of ductility). However, if the section is designed to be working in the elastic range there is generally no significant difference to its performance.

Slenderness Slenderness and elastic buckling The slenderness () of a structural element indicates how much load the element can carry in compression. Short stocky elements have low values of slenderness and are likely to fail by crushing, while elements with high slenderness values will fail by elastic (reversible) buckling. Slender columns will buckle when the axial compression reaches the critical load. Slender beams will buckle when the compressive stress causes the compression flange to buckle and twist sideways. This is called Lateral Torsional Buckling and it can be avoided (and the load capacity of the beam increased) by restraining the compression flange at intervals or over its full length. Full lateral restraint can be assumed if the construction fixed to the compression flange is capable of resisting a force of not less than 2.5% of the maximum force in that flange distributed uniformly along its length.
Slenderness limits Slenderness, ¼ Le =r where Le is the effective length and r is the radius of gyration – generally about the weaker axis. For robustness, members should be selected so that their slenderness does not exceed the following limits: Members resisting load other than wind
180
Members resisting self-weight and wind only
250
Members normally acting as ties but subject to load reversal due to wind

Durability and fire resistance Corrosion mechanism and protection 4Fe þ 3O2 þ 2H2O ¼ 2Fe2O3 . H2O Iron/Steel þ Oxygen þ Water ¼ Rust For corrosion of steel to take place, oxygen and water must both be present. The corrosion rate is affected by the atmospheric pollution and the length of time the steelwork remains wet. Sulphates (typically from industrial pollution) and chlorides (typically in marine environments – coastal is considered to be a 2 km strip around the coast in the UK) can accelerate the corrosion rate. All corrosion occurs at the anode (ve where electrons are lost) and the products of corrosion are deposited at the cathode (þve where the electrons are gained). Both anodic and cathodic areas can be present on a steel surface. The following factors should be considered in relation to the durability of a structure: the environment, degree of exposure, shape of the members, structural detailing, protective measures and whether inspection and maintenance are possible. Bi-metallic corrosion should also be considered in damp conditions.
Durability exposure conditions Corrosive environments are classified by BS EN ISO 12944: Part 2 and ISO 9223, and the corrosivity of the environment must be assessed for each project. Corrosivity category and risk
Examples of typical environments in a temperate climate* Exterior
Interior
C1 – Very low
–
Heated buildings with clean atmospheres, e.g. offices, shops, schools, hotels, etc. (theoretically no protection is needed)
C2 – Low
Atmospheres with low levels of pollution. Mostly rural areas
Unheated buildings where condensation may occur, e.g. depots and sports halls
C3 – Medium
Urban and industrial atmospheres with moderate sulphur dioxide pollution. Coastal areas with low salinity
Production rooms with high humidity and some air pollution, e.g. food processing plants, laundries, breweries, dairies, etc.
C4 – High
Industrial areas and coastal areas with moderate salinity
Chemical plants, swimming pools, coastal ship and boatyards
C5I – Very high (industrial)
Industrial areas with high humidity and aggressive atmosphere
Buildings or areas with almost permanent condensation and high pollution
C5M – Very high (marine)
Coastal and offshore areas with high salinity
Buildings or areas with almost permanent condensation and high pollution
* A hot and humid climate increases the corrosion rate and steel will require additional protection than in a temperate climate.
BS EN ISO 12944: Part 3 gives advice on steelwork detailing to avoid crevices where moisture and dirt can be caught and accelerate corrosion. Some acidic timbers should be isolated from steelwork. Get advice for each project: Corus can give advice on all steelwork coatings. The Galvanizers’ Association, Metal Sprayers Association and paint manufacturers also give advice on system specifications.

Methods of corrosion protection A corrosion protection system should consist of good surface preparation and application of a suitable coating with the required durability and minimum cost.
Mild steel surface preparation to BS EN ISO 8501 Hot rolled structural steelwork (in mild steel) leaves the last rolling process at about 1000 C. As it cools, its surface reacts with the air to form a blue-grey coating called mill scale, which is unstable, will allow rusting of the steel and will cause problems with the adhesion of protective coatings. The steel must be degreased to ensure that any contaminants which might affect the coatings are removed. The mill scale can then be removed by abrasive blast cleaning. Typical blast cleaning surface grades are: Sa 1 Sa 2 Sa 21/2 Sa 3
Light blast cleaning Thorough blast cleaning Very thorough blast cleaning Blast cleaning to visually clean steel
Sa 21/2 is used for most structural steel. Sa 3 is often used for surface preparation for metal spray coatings. Metallic and non-metallic particles can be used to blast clean the steel surface. Chilled angular metallic grit (usually grade G24) provides a rougher surface than round metallic shot, so that the coatings have better adhesion to the steel surface. Acid pickling is often used after blast cleaning to Sa 21/2 to remove final traces of mill scale before galvanizing. Coatings must be applied very quickly after the surface preparation to avoid rust reforming and the requirement for reblasting.
Paint coatings for structural steel Paint provides a barrier coating to prevent corrosion and is made up of pigment (for colour and protection), binder (for formation of the coating film) and solvent (to allow application of the paint before it evaporates and the paint hardens). When first applied, the paint forms a wet film thickness which can be measured and the dry film thickness (DFT – which is normally the specified element) can be predicted when the percentage volume of solids in the paint is known. Primers are normally classified on their protective pigment (e.g. zinc phosphate primer). Intermediate (which build the coating thickness) and finish coats are usually classified on their binders (e.g. epoxies, vinyls, urethanes, etc.). Shop primers (with a DFT of 15–25 mm) can be applied before fabrication but these only provide a couple of weeks’ worth of protection. Zinc rich primers generally perform best. Application of paint can be by brush, roller, air spray and airless spray – the latter is the most common in the UK. Application can be done on site or in the shop and where the steel is to be exposed, the method of application should be chosen for practicality and the surface finish. Shop applied coatings tend to need touching up on site if they are damaged in transit.

Structural Engineer’s Pocket Book
Metallic coatings for structural steel De-greased, blast cleaned (generally Sa 21/2) and then acid pickled steel is dipped into a flux agent and then into a bath of molten zinc. The zinc reacts with the surface of the steel, forming alloys and as the steel is lifted out a layer of pure zinc is deposited on outer surface of the alloys. The zinc coating is chemically bonded to the steel and is sacrificial. The Galvanizers’ Association can provide details of galvanizing baths around the country, but the average bath size is about 10 m long 1.2 m wide 2 m deep. The largest baths available in 2002 in the UK are 21 m 1.5 m 2.4 m and 7.6 m 2.1 m 3 m. The heat can cause distortions in fabricated, asymmetric or welded elements. Galvanizing is typically 85–140 mm thick and should be carried out to BS EN ISO 1461 and 14713. Paint coatings can be applied on top of the galvanizing for aesthetic or durability reasons and an etch primer is normally required to ensure that the paint properly adheres to the galvanizing.
Hot dip galvanizing
Thermal spray
Degreased and blast cleaned (generally Sa 3) steel is sprayed with molten particles of aluminium or zinc. The coating is particulate and the pores normally need to be sealed with an organic sealant in order to prevent rust staining. Metal sprayed coatings are mechanically bonded to the steel and work partly by anodic protection and partly by barrier protection. There are no limits on the size of elements which can be coated and there are no distortion problems. Thermal spray is typically 150–200 mm thick in aluminium, 100–150 mm thick in zinc and should be carried out to BS EN 22063 and BS EN ISO 14713. Paint coatings can be applied for aesthetic or durability reasons. Bi-metallic corrosion issues should be considered when selecting fixings for aluminium sprayed elements in damp or external environments.
Weathering steel Weathering steels are high strength, low alloy, weldable structural steels which form a protective rust coating in air that reaches a critical level within 2–5 years and prevents further corrosion. Cor-ten is the Corus proprietary brand of weathering steel, which has material properties comparable to S355, but the relevant material standard is BS EN 10 155. To optimize the use of weathering steel, avoid contact with absorbent surfaces (e.g. concrete), prolonged wetting (e.g. north faces of buildings in the UK), burial in soils, contact with dissimilar metals and exposure to aggressive environments. Even if these conditions are met, rust staining can still affect adjacent materials during the first few years. Weathering bolts (ASTM A325, Type 3 or Cor-ten X) must be used for bolted connections. Standard black bolts should not be used as the zinc coating will be quickly consumed and the fastener corroded. Normal welding techniques can be used.
Stainless steel Stainless steel is the most corrosion resistant of all the steels due to the presence of chromium in its alloys. The surface of the steel forms a self-healing invisible oxide layer which prevents ongoing corrosion and so the surface must be kept clean and exposed to provide the oxygen required to maintain the corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is resistant to most things, but special precautions should be taken in chlorinated environments. Alloying elements are added in different percentages to alter the durability properties: SS 304
18% Cr, 10% Ni
Used for general cladding, brick support angles, etc.
SS 409
11% Cr
Sometimes used for lintels
SS 316
17% Cr, 12% Ni, 2.5% Mo
Used in medium marine/aggressive environments

Moment capacity MC
The basic moment capacity (Mc) depends on the provision of full lateral restraint and the interaction of shear and bending stresses. Mc is limited to 1.2py Z to avoid irreversible deformation under serviceability loads. Full lateral restraint can be assumed if the construction fixed to the compression flange is capable of resisting not less than 2.5% of the maximum compression force in the flange, distributed uniformly along the length of the flange. Moment capacity (Mc) is generally the controlling capacity for class 1 and 2 sections in the following cases: . . . .
Bending about the minor axis. CHS, SHS or small solid circular or square bars. RHS in some cases given in clause 4.3.6.1 of BS 5950. UB, UC, RSJ, PFC, SHS or RHS if < 34 for S275 steel and < 30 for S355 steel in Class 1 and 2 sections, where ¼ LE =r
Low shear (Fv < 0.6Pv)
Mc ¼ pyS
High shear (Fv > 0.6P 2 v) Mc ¼ py (S rSn) Where ¼ 2 PFvv 1 and Sv ¼ the plastic modulus of the shear area used to calculate Pv.
Lateral torsional buckling capacity Mb
Lateral torsional buckling (LTB) occurs in tall sections or long beams in bending if not enough restraint is provided to the compression flange. Instability of the compression flange results in buckling of the beam, preventing the section from developing its full plastic capacity, Mc. The reduced bending moment capacity, Mb, depends on the slenderness of the section, LT. For Class 1 and 2 sections, LT ¼ . A simplified and conservative method of calculating Mb for rolled sections uses D=T and LT to determine an ultimate bending stress pb (from the following graph) where Mb ¼ pbSx for Class 1 and 2 sections.

This is a simplified analysis which assumes that the bolt furthest from the point of rotation carries the most load.

Stainless steel to BS 5950 Stainless steels are a family of corrosion and heat resistant steels containing a minimum of 10.5% chromium which results in the formation of a very thin self-healing transparent skin of chromium oxide – which is described as a passive layer. Alloy proportions can be varied to produce different grades of material with differing strength and corrosion properties. The stability of the passive layer depends on the alloy composition. There are five basic groups: austenitic, ferritic, duplex, martensitic and precipitation hardened. Of these, only austenitic and Duplex are really suitable for structural use.
Austenitic Austenitic is the most widely used for structural applications and contains 17–18% chromium, 8–11% nickel and sometimes molybdenum. Austenitic stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, high ductility and can be readily cold formed or welded. Commonly used alloys are 304L (European grade 1.4301) and 316L (European grade 1.4401).
Duplex Duplex stainless steels are so named because they share the strength and corrosion resistance properties of both the austenitic and ferritic grades. They typically contain 21–26% chromium, 4–8% nickel and 0.1–4.5% molybdenum. These steels are readily weldable but are not so easily cold rolled. Duplex stainless steel is normally used where an element is under high stress in a severely corrosive environment. A commonly used alloy is Duplex 2205 (European grade 1.44062).

Typical stock stainless steel sections There is no UK-based manufacturer of stainless steel and so all stainless steel sections are imported. Two importers who will send out information on the sections they produce are Valbruna and IMS Group. The sections available are limited. IMS has a larger range including hot rolled equal angles (from 20 20 3 up to 100 100 10), unequal angles (20 10 3 up to 200 100 13), I beams (80 46 up to 400 180), H beams (50 50 up to 300 300), channels (20 10 up to 400 110) and tees (20 20 3 up to 120 120 13) in 1.4301 and 1.4571. Valbruna has a smaller selection of plate, bars and angles in 1.4301 and 1.4404. Source: Nickel Development Institute (1994).

Note that this table does not apply to chlorinated environments which are very corrosive to stainless steel. Grade 304L (1.4301) can tarnish and is generally only used where aesthetics are not important; however, marine Grade 316L (1.4401) will maintain a shiny surface finish.
Corrosion mechanisms Durability can be reduced by heat treatment and welding. The surface of the steel forms a self-healing invisible oxide layer which prevents ongoing corrosion and so the surface must be kept clean and exposed to provide the oxygen required to maintain the corrosion resistance. Pitting Mostly results in the staining of architectural components and is not normally a structural problem. However, chloride attack can cause pitting which can cause cracking and eventual failure. Alloys rich in molybdenum should be used to resist chloride attack. Crevice corrosion nuts and washers.
Chloride attack and lack of oxygen in small crevices, e.g. between
Bi-metallic effects The larger the cathode, the greater the rate of attack. Mild steel bolts in a stainless steel assembly would be subject to very aggressive attack. Austenitic grades typically only react with copper to produce an unsightly white powder, with little structural effect. Prevent bi-metallic contact by using paint or tape to exclude water as well as using isolation gaskets, nylon/Teflon bushes and washers.
Fire resistance Stainless steels retain more of their strength and stiffness than mild steels in fire conditions, but typically as stainless steel structure is normally exposed, its fire resistance generally needs to be calculated as part of a fire engineered scheme.

Preliminary sizing Assume a reduced Young’s modulus depending on how heavily stressed the section will be and assume an approximate value of maximum bending stress for working loads of 130 N/mm2. A section size can then be selected for checking to BS 5950.
Stainless steel design to BS 5950: Part 1 The design is based on ultimate loads calculated on the same partial safety factors as for mild steel.

NOTES: 1. Most commonly used for structural purposes. 2. Widely used in more corrosive situations. The alloys listed in the table above are low carbon alloys which provide good corrosion resistance after welding and fabrication. As for mild steel, the element cross section must be classified to BS 5950: Part 1 in order to establish the appropriate design method. Generally this method is as given for mild steels; however, as there are few standard section shapes, the classification and design methods can be laborious.

Connections Bolted and welded connections can be used. Design data for fillet and butt welds requires detailed information about which particular welding method is to be used. The information about bolted connections is more general.
Bolted connections Requirements for stainless steel fasteners are set out in BS EN ISO 3506 which split fixings into three groups: A = Austenitic, F = Ferritic and C = Martensitic. Grade A fasteners are normally used for structural applications. Grade A2 is equivalent to Grade 304L (1.4301) with a 0.2% proof stress of 210 N/mm2 and Grade A4 is equivalent to Grade 316L (1.4401) with a 0.2% proof stress of 450 N/mm2. There are three further property classes within Grade A: 50, 70 and 80 to BS EN ISO 3506. An approximate ultimate bearing strength for connected parts can be taken as 460 N/mm2 for preliminary sizing.
