The problems of calculating the load-bearing structures made of light steel thin-walled profiles

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of bearing capacity of thin-walled cold-formed steel beam of the guide profile. Such profiles have a small thickness and complex cross-sectional shape. Bending deformation develops in the cross-sectional plane under the influence of loads in beam. In addition, deformation of constrained torsion and warping arise. These deformations influence the stress distribution at the points of the cross-section of the beam and thereby determine its load-bearing capacity.
