Abstract
In addition to better durability the use of stainless steel improves the fire resistance of connections. The stainless steel has good fire resistance properties. Unprotected stainless steels have enough capacity in fire resistance class R30 and certain titan stabilised grades also in class R60 without overdesign in normal temperature. So the fire protections and/or groovings of the effective cross-sections of timber members for the connections may be avoided with the use of stainless steel. However, also in normal temperature the design rules of timber fasteners are normally given only for the non-alloy steel. The stainless steel
grades have a low 0,2 -yield value (normally 220 N/mm²) but a high tensile strength (even > 800 N/mm²) with the ultimate elongation more than 40%. The paper summarizes the
results of the research done for the verification of the design rules for the stainless steel fasteners in normal temperature. All the tests have been done in VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and a detailed report will be published in 2005.
