ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The paper presents fundamental information about running experimentaltheoretical research oriented to determine the resistance of thin-walled cold-formed compressed steel cross-sections with and without intermediate stiffeners. The investigated members had closed cross-sections made from homogeneous materials. The theoretical analysis in this research is oriented to determine the resistance of mentioned members according to relevant standards, while the experimental investigation is to verify the theoretical results and to investigate the real behavior of mentioned members during the loading process.
