Comments:

Deviations in the results of the calculation are due to the differences in the initial data. In this mode KRISTALL enables to select an I-section only from the assortment of rolled profiles. The I-section specified in theoretical solution has cross-sectional dimensions which do not have an exact assortment analog. When checking the connection with the help of KRISTALL, the closest I-section was selected – I-beam 26W1 GOST 26020-83.
