ABSTRACT
For trapezoidal profiles in bending, the basic analytical model is shown in Figs 10.6(a) and (b). The effective width beff of the compression flange is calculated in the usual way with a modification for bends of appreciable radius. With the compression flange reduced in this way, the depth to the approximate neutral axis is calculated. The effective
