摘要：The paper presents the analysis of the load-bearing capacity of thin-walled steel bars such as beam-column. It was assumed that the rods are subject to uniformly distributed surface corrosion in the atmosphere over their entire length. As a result of corrosion, the mass loss of these rods, i.e. the thickness of the cross-sectional walls of the rod are evenly reduced. Therefore, the dependence of the critical force - the eccentricity changes. The theory of stability of thin-walled bars was used to calculate the load capacity of the rod. To calculate changes in the load capacity of the rod, an interactive relationship was used that combines compression with bending. A calculation example of the load capacity of an eccentrically compressed rod with a “C” section which has been corroded has been presented.
