Abstract
Design rules describing failure at an interior support of cold-formed steel flexural members are of an empirical nature. This is probably due to the complex character of the failure mechanisms, which makes an analytical approach difficult. An overview of research on this subject has been made. The Bakker model is reviewed. This is the first analytical model accurately describing one of the failure mechanisms occurring for a concentrated load and a small bending moment. A new research project is introduced for extending the Bakker model for a concentrated load and a medium or large bending moment.
