Car Bent Steel Column
Car Bent Steel Column
(OP)
I have a tube steel (3x3) that was hit and bent (1" max) by a car. It will be a REAL hassle to replace it due to the trim and siding of the building so the contractor would like to salvage it if it's possible. Since there is not much load on it I told him I'd see what I can do. Does anyone know any design guides, reference material or techniques to analyze this column?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Never, but never question engineer's judgement
