Bien que l'acier inoxydable ne soit aujourd'hui pas souvent utilisé en tant qu'élément de structures, ce matériau gagne en popularité. L'acier inoxydable offre en effet de nombreux avantages tant sur le plan mécanique qu'esthétique. On peut penser que, vu son coût initial élevé, il est presqu'impossible que l'acier inoxydable, en tant qu'élément structurel, soit un matériau compétitif par rapport à l'acier carbone. Pourtant les analyses de coût sur le cycle de vie démontrent le contraire. A côté des propriétés physiques et mécaniques et des règles de dimensionnement suivant l'Eurocode 3, les applications de l'acier inoxydable dans le domaine de la construction seront présentées lors de ce séminaire.
Venue : Arsenal Namur - Rue Bruno 11 - 5000 Namur

Hoewel het gebruik van roestvast staal (RVS) als structureel element nog geen primaire keuze is, wint het materiaal de laatste jaren aan populariteit. Zo biedt RVS uitstekende eigenschappen zowel op technisch als esthetisch vlak. De aankoopprijs van RVS kan onterecht laten uitschijnen dat een economisch voordeel in vergelijking met het gekende koolstofstaal niet mogelijk is. Het segment “Life Cycle Cost Assessment” biedt duidelijkheid over de beoordelingsmethoden om correcte conclusies te destilleren in verband met economische voordelen. Het seminarie geeft een compleet overzicht van de eigenschappen van RVS aangevuld met de van toepassing zijnde ontwerpregels. Daarnaast worden succesvolle toepassingen gepresenteerd waaronder de “Passerelles à Lourde” door Greisch.
