Abstract: A structural member for a building, the structural member comprising: at least two spaced apart sidewalls, each sidewall formed from at least one contoured metal sheet; and at least one connecting vertex through which the sidewalls are connected, each connecting vertex include at least one structural bend formed in at least one of the contoured metal sheets, the sidewalls being connected through the connecting vertex to form a structural span therebetween, wherein each structural bend is formed between a first sheet section and a second sheet section of the respective contoured metal sheet, the first sheet section and second sheet section being connected about a bend line with the first sheet section extending from the bend line at a selected angle relative to the second sheet section, and wherein the first sheet section has a contoured profile that is a symmetrical mirror of the contoured profile to the second sheet section about the bend line.

Abstract: A method of bending a contoured metal sheet about a selected fold line. The contoured metal sheet has a longitudinal axis extending along the length of the sheet, and a contoured profile that extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the sheet. The method comprises: engaging a first sheet section of the contoured metal sheet with a forming member which comprises a forming surface having a contour shaped with a substantially symmetrical mirror profile to the contoured profile of the first sheet section. The engagement of the forming member with the first sheet section bends the first sheet section of the metal sheet about a fold line relative to a second sheet section of the metal sheet to position the first sheet section at a selected angle relative to the second sheet section about the fold line, and also transforms the contoured profile of the first sheet section into a new contoured profile comprising a symmetrical mirror of the contoured profile of the second sheet section about the fold line.

Abstract translation: 一种使波状金属片围绕选择的折叠线弯曲的方法。 成型金属片具有沿着片材的长度延伸的纵向轴线和垂直于片材的纵向轴线延伸的成型轮廓。 该方法包括：将成型金属片材的第一片材​​部分与形成构件接合，该成型构件包括成型表面，该成型表面具有与第一片材部分的成型轮廓基本上对称的后视轮廓成型的轮廓。 成形构件与第一片材部分的接合相对于金属片材的第二片材部分围绕折叠线弯曲金属片材的第一片材​​部分，以将第一片材部分相对于第二片材部分以选定角度定位 关于折叠线，并且还将第一片材部分的成型轮廓转换成包括关于折叠线的第二片材部分的成型轮廓的对称镜的新的成型轮廓。
