Recently, a very large interest in lightweight steel structures made from cold-formed sections has been noticeable. In the design practice, a large emphasis is put on rational shaping of both the thin-walled elements and constructions designed on them. The aim of this paper is to present the methodology for preparation of experimental research that model the behaviour of members in trusses made of cold-formed sections with positive eccentricity in the joint and presentation of these research results. The research problem concerning the real load-carrying capacity of the compressed and bent chord of the lattice girder has been presented in the paper. The laboratory stand for experimental research is described and methodology of the tests presented. Results of the tests which gave the basis for the verification of the research model’s and stand’s project are presented.
