Abstract
The development of design guidance for stainless steel
structures requires more tests on ferritic grade
connections. This paper deals with a series of lap shear
tests which have been carried out on various
configurations of bolted and screwed connections. The
tests demonstrate net section failure, bearing failure
and block tearing failure. The material is a ferritic
stainless steel of grade 1.4509 (AISI 441) with a
thickness of 0.5-4.5 mm. The results are utilized in
developing design guidance in accordance with Eurocodes
