Dataset on the bearing capacity of curved profiles obtained by roll forming process

Abstract

The paper shows experimental data concerning the bearing capacity of curved profile sheets achieved by roll forming process. Two different restraint configurations were considered, respectively named A and B and representing the only bending and the axial-bending conditions. Two different experimental setup, i.e. single span with and without horizontal restraints were adopted. Trapezoidal and sinusoidal steel sheets with variable thickness and curvature radius were tested. Setup configurations, collapse mechanisms and load-deflection diagrams are presented.
