Actual Effects of Local Buckling of Thin-Walled Metal Roof Decking: Control Experimental Verification Performed during Structure Realization

Article Preview

Abstract:

Experimental verification of structural members can be the necessary part of the structural design of load-carrying civil structures, mainly in the period of last two decades. In some cases, the knowledge obtained from the tests is the sole source of the reliable information about actual behaviour of structural member in strain and failure process and about its objective load-carrying capacity. The paper is specifically aimed at the control experimental verification of roof decking based on thin-walled metal profiled sheets. Loading test has been performed during structure erection, as additional resource for the verification of actual behaviour and objective load-carrying capacity and for the confirmation or refinement of static design assumptions and results, within the ultimate and serviceability limit states. The subject of the control experimental verification was roof decking composed of thin-walled metal cassettes with thermal insulation at its upper side, used for the university lecture room roofing.
