The features of the calculation of nodal joints of frame buildings made of cold-formed steel profiles are considered. The connection of elements of frame buildings made of cold-formed steel profiles for the perception of acting forces is made on bolts using low-carbon steel shapes, the profiles themselves are made of thin-sheet galvanized rolled products. But there are no requirements for the thickness of the shapes and specific thickness values depending on the applied forces in the regulatory documentation, since these compounds are poorly studied in Russia. The calculation of frame buildings made of cold-bent steel profiles and the analysis of nodes with bolted connections was carried out and a method for determining the number of bolts in nodes in two design cases depending on the thickness of the shape was proposed, the need to introduce these requirements into the regulatory documentation for thin-walled structures was shown.
