Stainless steel is more and more widely used in civil engineering because of its superior material properties. However, its frame design often refers to steel structure, ignoring the plastic strain before the nominal yield strength of stainless steel, which may cause hidden dangers in stainless steel frame design. In order to reveal the influence of the plastic effect on stainless steel frame, the accurate second-order elastoplastic analysis of three typical frames was carried out and compared with the simplified design method of the national standard Standard for Design of Steel Structures (GB 50017-2017). The results showed that the plastic effect had a great effect on the bending moment and side shift of the stainless steel frame in most cases. The design of the stainless steel frame with reference to the steel structure tended to be unsafe, and the plastic effect coefficient could better reflect the influence of the plastic effect on the frame. Based on the analysis results, the design proposal of stainless steel frame structures was proposed.
