Cladding and Roofing

Application Type : Two Sides Fixed Cladding And Roofing


Two Sides Fixed: Load Span calculator

Use this quick calculator to provide you with a rough guide for sheet deflection and width for a given load.


The results from the formulae used in the calculator are based on the following limits:
1.5 Safety factor against pop-out or sheet buckling
15mm effective edge engagement
Deflection limit of 4% of the span
which we would recommend as good design practice.

For further clarification view the following drawings
Deflection allowance drawing.

Edge Engagement drawing.

Instructions:

1. Select the sheet thickness you require

2.
Enter the load, as this facility is intended to be used as only a guideline, loads can not be calculated greater than 1.5kN/m^2
if you require further information contact Technical support.

3.Press Enter Button.
