Design of a Z-shape Cold Formed Girt
Design of a Z-shape Cold Formed Girt
(OP)
Can anybody direct me or if they have a simple example of a cold formed beam design?
I am trying to check an existing Z girt clod formed for new loads.
I googled for a very basic cold formed beam design but did not find anything.
I appreciate it.

If you're at very low stresses, you can check it like a normal steel member, but if you're approaching it's limit (and how do you know?), you better get the books.

Either use tables or buy software. The free version of "CFS" might do Z shapes.

Excellent piece of software. The free version is obviously limited but should do what you want in this case.
