Normal stress distribution in built-up cold-formed column in relation to interconnecting bolt spacing

Abstract In order to increase a stiffness of cold-formed steel (CFS) elements it is practised to built-up the cross-section. In the analysed case, a main element is strengthened by adding extra chord in contact partially along the column. This additional chord acts as a longitudinal stiffener connec...
