Abstract:This paper presents two numerical models for the evaluation of the distribution of stresses in corrugated sheets of fibre cement subjected to uplift load. The numerical simulations, in this case, were made from three-dimensional models using the software SAP2000Nonlinear, version 7:42, which has as base the finite elements method (MEF). Corrugated sheets with thickness of 5 mm considering two different spans, i.e., 1100 mm and 1530 mm were evaluated. The sheets had the 2 nd and 5 th high waves fixed. The load … Show more
