Study of the conditional flexibility effect of compressed chord on the overall stability of corrugated beams

Abstract

In this paper, the calculation of cut corrugated beams loaded with uniformly distributed load in the plane of the wall, with a wall height of 333 and 500 mm (54 sizes), chord width from 160 to 400 mm and chord thickness from 6 to 30 mm for general stability in accordance with Building Codes (BC) 294.1325800.2017 is made. A geometric criterion has been defined which defines the boundaries of the load-carrying capacity of Russian corrugated beams between the flat bending form stability and the strength of the normal section under the action of the bending moment in the plane of the wall.
