Stainless steel design

[todd2ny]

I am designing a compression member using Allowable Stress Design. The manual I am using is SEI/ASCE 8-02. How should I account for local web and flange buckling.

Thanks for the help,

Methods for web buckling analysis and flange buckling are addressed in the AISC manual of steel construction. Even though you're using stainlees, I think that's probably your best design source.
