Description
Polyurethane panels are used for façade cladding and roofing, mainly, of industrial objects. They allow for a quick installation, and with that a reduction of the building cost. According to the current regulations in Macedonia, panels are only used as secondary load bearing elements, and not as elements that are in direct interaction with the rest of the load bearing construction.This work makes an analysis of the choice of the type of panel for a specific construction, the load bearing capabilities of the panels, as well as the approach of the stressed skin design method which analyses the panels as part of the primary load bearing construction. Based on the things listed above, a static design has been done on an object where the method of the modeling of the panels and the benefits of this type of analysis are displayed.
