Design Guide 27: Structural Stainless Steel is a standard that offers guidance for engineers on the design of structural stainless steel components. It is specifically targeted at engineers who have experience with designing carbon steel structures but may lack proficiency in designing stainless steel structures. The standard is intended to align with the 2010 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, ensuring consistency and compatibility with existing design provisions.

The standard covers various aspects of the design process, including material properties, section properties, design considerations, and member strength and stability. It provides information on the different types of stainless steel that can be used for structural applications, as well as their mechanical properties and fabrication considerations. It also addresses issues specific to stainless steel design, such as stress corrosion cracking, fire resistance, and welding techniques.
