Introduction to the use of stainless steel in construction & Design of structural stainless steel – principles and Eurocode rules
This recording contains two webinars from a series on structural stainless steel, delivered in conjunction with Southeastern University, Nanjing, China.
The webinars first aired on 2 June 2026 and contain English and Chinese language sections. The sections presented by Francisco and Nancy are delivered in English.
Introduction to the use of stainless steel in construction
Speaker: Nancy Baddoo
This webinar, presented by IMOA Consultant Nancy Baddoo, from the Steel Construction Institute (SCI), covers an introduction to stainless steel, including drivers for use in construction, typical applications, properties, specification and alloy selection.
Design of structural stainless steel - principles and Eurocode rules
Speaker: Dr Francisco Meza
This webinar, presented by Dr Francisco Meza from the Steel Construction Institute, discusses the structural response of stainless steel members, an introduction to the stainless steel Eurocode, designing members (Eurocode rules), design rules specific to stainless steel stainless steel (Eurocode rules) and designing connections and fatigue (Eurocode rules).

Resilient design of structural stainless steel
Speakers: Dr Francisco Mesa, Nancy Baddoo and Dr Baofeng Zheng
This webinar, titled Resilient design of structural stainless steel, is presented by IMOA Consultants Nancy Baddoo and Dr Francisco Meza, from the Steel Construction Institute (SCI) and Dr Baofeng Zheng from Southeastern University. It discusses the benefits of stainless steel in terms of fire-resistant design, seismic design (recommendations for both US code and Chinese design approach) and sustainability.

What’s new in stainless steel?
NASCC: The Steel Conference
Speaker: Dr Francisco Meza and Benjamin Baer
The newly released 2025 versions of the Stainless Steel Specification (AISC 370) and Code of Standard Practice (AISC 313), updated based on the latest research and user feedback, bring structural stainless steel design into better alignment with AISC 360-22 and 303-22. This Q&A-style session addresses common questions about the revised Specification and Code, including alloy applications, seismic design, and bolted and welded connections.

The New AISC Design Guide 41: Structural Joints Using Stainless Steel Bolts 2026
NASCC: The Steel Conference
Speaker: Dr Francisco Meza and Justin Ocel
Stainless steel fasteners offer strength, durability, and corrosion resistance - key qualities for critical applications where bolt failures can be costly. This session introduces the new AISC/RCSC Design Guide 41 Structural Joints Using Stainless Steel Bolts. It covers the design, installation, and inspection of stainless steel bolted joints, including connections between stainless and carbon steel members. The session covers how to specify components per ASTM and ASME standards, compare stainless and carbon steel fasteners, and apply best practices for snug-tight, pre-tensioned, and slip-critical joints. Special considerations for dissimilar metals and troubleshooting tips will be discussed throughout.
