A simple test method for profiled steel cladding systems under wind uplift

摘要

A new simple test method using small scale models hasudbeen developed for testing profiled steel cladding systems underudwind uplift/suction forces. This simple method shouldudreplace the large scale test method using two-span claddingsudused at present. It can be used for roof or wall cladding systemsudfastened with screw fasteners at crests or valleys.
