C. COLD FORMED CROSS-SECTIONS

CHAPTER C: 'COLD ROLLING CROSS-SECTIONS' 6 5. ANALYSIS According to EC3-1-3 for the analysis the properties of the cross-sections must be modified, taking into account the influence of rounded corners. In SCADA Pro the properties of the original cross-section are used without modifying the inertial characteristics. The transformation to ideal with sharp corners as well as the influence of rounded corners is only considered in the dimensioning. 6. DIMENSIONING The sizing of cold-rolled components involves: • Strength check at section level • Strength check at member level • Functionality check The main difference with hot-rolled elements is that now the checks at section and member level are carried out with a common command and not separately. Another important feature is that all members and their cross-sections are checked for all combinations . Otherwise, the sizing steps are the same as for hot rolled elements (per layer, member consolidation, bending parameters, etc.).
