Überarbeitete Anlagen der Typenprüfungen für Trapezprofile - Erläuterungen und Hintergründe

Revised Annexes of Typenprüfungen for trapezoidal sheeting - commentary and background information.

As a reaction to the implementation of Eurocodes by the building authority, the annexes of the Typenprüfungen (type approval) for trapezoidal sheeting were revised. The concept of verification and the basic proofs stayed the same, resulting in some small deviations from DIN EN 1993-1-3.
Proofs for diaphragms and stressed skin design changed, merely resulting from new developments in the concept of verification and different requests of the different applicants. The paper at hand presents the revised annexes, justifies perpetuations for some rules and explains new and revised rules and proofs.
