Abstract
When using a coupled multi-span beam with a Z-shaped cross-section, the question often arises as towhich static system the load-bearing behavior can be reproduced in a realistic manner. For bending around the strong axis, spring models are available. For bending around the weak axis and torsion, they unfortunately do not exist. This paper examines this problem and shows the bearing behavior by means of experimental investigations for bending around the weak axis and torsion.
