Question

I have a sandwich panel and would like to use it for structural stabilization of a beam. However, it is only possible to select trapezoidal sheets or purlins. What can I do?


Answer:

You can calculate the rotational restraint manually or using a program. Then, enter the resulting value in the "Settings" table as stiffness C_D (see the image). To do this, set the type of rotational restraint to "Define Manually".
