1 General
This annex gives design procedures for axially loaded one-span sandwich panels with flat or
lightly profiled faces. The procedures amend Annex E, which gives design procedures for
sandwich panels subjected to transverse loads only. Section 3 gives procedures for global
design of the panel. Section 4 gives a procedure for design of the load application area, where
the axial force is introduced into the face of the panel by contact.
Definitions and symbols can be taken from section E.1. In addition the following symbols are
used:
EIF bending stiffness of face

3 Global design
3.1 Actions
3.1.1 General
The actions given in E.3 shall be taken into account. In addition the following actions have to
be considered.
An initial geometrical imperfection e0 has to be considered. Together with an axial load an ini-
tial deflection causes bending moments and transverse forces. Initial deflections can be con-
sidered as equivalent line load
e0
q e0 = 8 ⋅ N ⋅ (1)
L2
Together with an axial force deflections caused by temperature differences ΔT between inner
and outer face cause additional bending moments and transverse forces. Temperature differ-
ences can be considered as equivalent line load
αF
q wT = N ⋅ ∆T ⋅ (2)
e
If the axial load is introduced in one face sheet only, an additional end moment occurs.
M N = N ⋅e* (3)
where e* is the distance between centroidal axis and axially loaded face
Depending on the construction an end moment occurs at both ends of the panel or only at the
upper end.
The following characteristic resistance values and additional calculation requirements are re-
quired in order to carry out design by calculation according to this annex:

deflection due to bending. Unlike the creep coefficient φt the sandwich creep coefficient φSt is
not a material parameter. It also considers the long-term loads acting on the panel. For the
most commonly used static systems the sandwich factor k is given in Fig. 1.

4.1 Actions
The actions given in E.3 shall be taken into account. To design the load application area all
normal forces, which are introduces into the face of a panel have to be considered. They are
usually caused by self-weight and snow loads.
The following characteristic resistance values and additional calculation requirements are re-
quired in order to carry out design by calculation according to this annex:
The crippling stress of the edge of the face is determined based on the wrinkling stress as
follows.

1 Shear diaphragms
1.1 General
This section describes the interaction between structural members and sandwich panels that
are designed to act together as part of a combined structural system.
Diaphragms may be formed from sandwich panels used as roof or wall cladding.
If sandwich panels are designed for diaphragm action, advantage may be taken of the contri-
bution that sandwich panels used as roofing or wall cladding make to the overall stiffness and
strength of the structural frame by means of their stiffness and strength, when loaded in the
plane of the panel.
In a diaphragm made of sandwich panels both transverse edges of the panels have to be con-
nected to the substructure by direct fixings. It is not necessarily required to connect the longi-
tudinal joints of adjacent panels. A connection of the joints increases load bearing capacity
and stiffness of the diaphragm.
The deformation of sandwich panels caused by in-plane shear load can be neglected. Only the
flexibility of the fixings has to be considered. The fixings must be designed for the in-plane
shear load. It is not necessary to design the sandwich panels for this additional load. It is suffi-
cient to design them for their primary purpose in bending.
If the diaphragm is loaded, all panels remain parallel to the longitudinal edges of the dia-
phragm. At the fixings only forces and displacements in direction of the longitudinal edges are
transferred.

The stiffness S of the diaphragm and the forces of the fixings can be determined by the follow-
ing mechanical model:
The panels are assumed to be rigid bodies and the fixings are modelled as longitudinal springs
with direction of the span of the panels. The springs connect the panels and the substructure
and they connect adjacent panels at the longitudinal joints.

Detailed calculation procedures for determination of the shear stiffness of diaphragms and the
forces of fixings can be obtained from:
In-plane shear resistance of sandwich panels, Deliverable D3.3 – part 2 of EASIE project, May
2011.
To determine the shear stiffness of the diaphragm and the forces of the fixings knowledge of
the stiffness of the fixings is mandatory. Information on the stiffness and load-bearing capacity
of shear loaded fixings of sandwich panels can be obtained from:
Connections of sandwich panels, Deliverable D3.3 – part 3 of EASIE project, May 2011.
Stiffness and load-bearing capacity of fixings can also be determined by small-scale tests e.g.

Sandwich panels may be used for diaphragm action only under the following conditions:
• The diaphragm forces in the plane of a roof are transmitted to the foundation by means
of braced frames, further shear diaphragms or other methods of resistance.
• To act as a diaphragm sandwich panels have to be connected to the substructure by
direct fixings.
• The sandwich panels are treated as a structural component that cannot be removed or
modified without proper consideration.
• The project specification, including the calculations and drawings, draws attention to
the fact that the building is designed to utilize diaphragm action.
• Shear diaphragms are used to resist predominantly static loadings (e.g. wind, snow);
fatigue loading is not transferred by diaphragm action.
2.1 General
In frameless structures horizontal loads are transferred through the roof to the walls. The walls
transfer the loads to the foundation. Wall and roof panels are loaded by in-plane shear forces.
The connections between wall and roof and the connections between wall and foundation
have to transfer shear forces.

into wall
The longitudinal joints of adjacent roof panels must be connected. It is not necessarily required
to connect the longitudinal joints of wall panels. A connection of the joints increases load bear-
ing capacity and stiffness of the wall.
In-plane shear forces cause translations and rotations of the panels. The fixings may be
loaded by forces in transverse and in longitudinal direction of the panels.
The deformation of sandwich panels caused by in-plane shear forces can be neglected. Only
the flexibility of the fixings has to be considered. The fixings have to be designed for the in-
plane shear load. It is not necessary to design the sandwich panels for this additional load. It is
sufficient to design them for their primary purpose in bending.
The displacements of the panels and the forces of the fixings can be determined by the follow-
ing mechanical model:
The panels are assumed to be rigid bodies and the fixings are modelled as longitudinal
springs. At the connections between wall and foundation and at the longitudinal joints forces in
transverse and in longitudinal direction are transferred. At the connections between roof and
wall only forces, which cause in-plane shear forces in the wall, are transferred.

Stabilisation of frameless structures, Deliverable D3.3 –part 6 of EASIE project, July 2011.
To determine the displacements of the panels and the forces of the fixings knowledge of the
stiffness of the fixings is mandatory. Stiffness and load-bearing capacity of fixings may be de-
termined by small-scale tests, e.g. according to:

wich Panels. ECCS publication No. 127, 2009.
In frameless structures sandwich panels may be used for transferring in-plane shear loads
only under the following conditions:
• The panels of a roof have to be connected at their longitudinal joints. The roof must be
circumferential connected to the walls.
• The panels transfer only predominantly static loadings (e.g. wind, snow); fatigue load-
ing is not transferred.
• The sandwich panels are treated as a structural component that cannot be changed
without proper consideration.
• The project specification, including the calculations and drawings, draws attention to
the fact that the panels and their fixings are designed to utilize the in-plane shear stiff-
ness and strength of the panels.
