Cold-formed steel sections extensively affect the modern steel construction industry. Not only are they used as secondary elements like purlins or sheeting, but also they can serve as primary load-bearing members in fabricated steel panels and trusses. A new cross-section called shortly a GEB may serve as that member. However, its existence of the metal building structures industry depends on the exact, optimal dimensional parameters which are associated with its production possibility and ultimate and serviceably limit states criteria. According to the European Standard EN 1993-1-3 every new section shape should be tested to assign the cross sectional deformation behavior and capacity. That is why this innovative profile inter alia was tested for axial compression. The paper reports the results of experimental test and also computational analysis in RFEM software e.g. deformation modes and maximum axial load. Simultaneously, values of cross-section capacity were assigned based on Standards.
