Comparative analysis of calculations in thin-walled structure design

Abstract

This article focuses on reproducing normative calculation conditions through numerical methods and comparing these with outcomes obtained using specialized software for structural engineers. We analyse the basis of normative critical forces and stress values, including conditions of fixity, types of structures, and materials, and how these are represented in practical calculations and numerical modelling. The investigation is intended to enhance understanding between normative assumptions and their practical application in design, offering valuable guidelines for refining calculation methods.
