Trapezoidal sheeting as a protection against instability
Trapezoidal sheeting as a protection against instability
(OP)
Hi, I would like to discuss the verification of the stability of truss when the top bar is secured with trapezoidal steel sheet.
Verification methods are, for example, in EuroCode 3 1-3 and ECCS TC7 TWG 7.5.
Has anyone had contact with this issue and has a computational example?
Best regards!
