In addition to the pure rotation, a complex warping of the cross-section also occurs in the cross-section plane. If these warpings are restrained, warping stresses will result. To calculate these warping stresses, the St. Venant's torsion theory was extended to the warping torsion theory. The objective of this thesis is to present the warping torsion theory in a clear and understandable way in order to manually calculate simple structural systems and to compare the results with the modeling and implementation in commercial structural analysis software.
