Define Parameters of Stiffening Surface: Type 'Surface'

Define parameters of the bracing surface: type 'Surface'

The "Stiffening" dialog shows the parameters for the bracing type "Surface" with trapezoidal sheeting. The longitudinal joints are regular. For the secondary beams, bolts ø 6.3 mm with washers ø 22.0 mm are defined at each rib on the bottom flange, where the joint stiffness of 5.20 kN/m is determined according to EN 1993-1-3, Table 10.3. The longitudinal beams and longitudinal joints use hexagonal bolts ø 5.5-6.3 mm or bolts ø 4.1-4.8 mm with a fastener distance of 0.500 m. Graphics illustrate the arrangement of the panels and the eccentricity on the I-section.
