Abstract
The subject of the analysis is a separate fragment of the external partition located in the ground floor of a residential building made in the technology of light steel skeleton without stiffening plating. The motivation to carry out this analysis is, among others Investors' growing interest in alternative solutions to traditional single-family housing. The selection of the considered fragment was made on the basis of maximum displacements obtained as a result of numerical analysis carried out in Robot Structural. Then, for the selected structural element of the wall, three calculation models in the Ansys program for the assessment of bending - torsional analysis were made. The calculation models adopted for the calculations differed in the way in which the bracing used were assembled. One of them included the author's own development of an insert stiffening the transverse profile at the bracing assembly site. The results of the calculations showed the legitimacy of strengthening the structure when the stiffening plating is removed.
