Cross-section compressive performance of wire arc additively manufactured stainless steel singly symmetric (T-shaped, channel and angle) section stub columns

Key Points

• Additive manufacturing yields strong compressive performance for T-shaped and channel sections.
• Testing indicates that these stub columns support significant loads, enhancing their structural viability.
• The analysis focuses on the performance characteristics of various cross-sections in distinct geometries.
• Results suggest the potential for using these materials in real-world construction, possibly affecting design standards.
