Simplifications of the numerical model in the design of bar and diaphragm bracing systems [PDF]
Archives of Civil EngineeringThe topic of transversal roof bracing design was discussed. The analysis was performed in ABAQUS for a part of the steel single-storey building roof consisting of truss girders and purlins. Structure with both diaphragm bracing (trapezoidal sheeting) and

Rotational restraint of cold-formed Z-purlins given by the trapezoidal sheeting with additional stiffening ribs [PDF]
Archives of Civil EngineeringThe Eurocode 3-1-3 [1] provisions, according to which the rotational restraint of a cold-formed Z-purlin given by the sheeting has to be determined, set out guidelines for the first-generation trapezoidal sheets only in strictly defined cases, and for ...
