description This paper presents experimental and numerical investigations into the cross-section behaviour and resistance of press-braked ferritic stainless steel channel sections under combined compression and major-axis bending moment. An experimental programme, including initial local geometric imperfection measurements and ten major-axis eccentric compression tests, was firstly conducted, with the test setup, procedures and results reported in detail. This was followed by a numerical modelling programme, where finite element models were developed and validated against the major-axis eccentric compression test results and then adopted to conduct parametric studies to expand the test data pool over a wider range of cross-section dimensions and loading combinations. Based on the obtained test and numerical data, the design interaction curves for press-braked ferritic stainless steel channel sections under combined compression and major-axis bending moment, as given in the American specification and European code, were evaluated. The evaluation results revealed that the American specification resulted in a good level of design accuracy, while the European code led to conservative resistance predictions, due to the conservative bending end point and inefficient linear shape of the design interaction curve. New design interaction curves were also developed and shown to offer more accurate and consistent resistance predictions for press-braked ferritic stainless steel channel sections under combined compression and major-axis bending moment than the codified design interaction curves.
