Specific geometric calculations for the small radii at corners, which significantly impact structural behavior in thin-walled sections.
Provisions to account for the increased yield strength that occurs at the corners of a section during the cold-forming process. Design of cold-formed steel structures. : Euroc...
Handled by assigning a "reduced thickness" to stiffeners, such as the small lips on a C-channel. Specific geometric calculations for the small radii at
Capacity is calculated using these reduced "effective" properties rather than the gross physical dimensions. 📋 Other Noteworthy Features of EN 1993-1-3 Eurocode 3 manages this using the

Because CFS members are thin, they often buckle before reaching their full material yield strength. Eurocode 3 manages this using the . 🛠️ Key Feature: The Effective Width Method
