Roof panel load decomposition
This topic will discuss the decomposition that occurs when considering wind load applied to roof panels.
Roof panel load decomposition
The direction of the one way decomposition of the wind zone loads to roof members is determined by the span direction (i.e. rotation angle) of the roof panel.
All types of elements within the roof panel plane (except bracing) are considered during the load decomposition.
