THE GRAPH AT RIGHT CHARTS THE
MAXIMUM MOMENT CREATED
AS A RESULT OF WIND UPLIFT
THE VARYING RADII.
THE GRAPH CAN BE USED TO
DETERMINE THE ALLOWABLE SPANS
FOR CURLINE PANEL PROFILES "A"
THROUGH "X" BY PLUGGING THE
MINIMUM SECTION MODULUS FOR EACH
PROFILE INTO THE FOLLOWING
FORMULA.*
Mmax = Fb x Sx/12
WHERE:
Fb IS TAKEN AS 0.6*Fy
Fy = 50 KSI (ASSUMED)
Sx IS THE SMALLER OF THE PANEL'S POSITIVE
OR NEGATIVE BENDING PROPERTY

DESIGN CONDITIONS:
-
SECTION MODULUS ARE MINIMUM PER PROFILE. SEE CURVELINE PROFILE SHEET FOR PANEL CONFIGURATION.
- PANELS WERE ASSUMED TO BE GRADE "A" Fy = 50 KSI IN DETERMINING SPANS.
- NO INCREASE WAS TAKEN DUE TO LOADS BEING SHORT TERM WIND.
- PANEL SPAN IS THE HORIZONTAL DISTANCE FROM SUPPORT TO SUPPORT. CONSULT CURVELINE INC. FOR
TYPICAL OR CUSTOM FRAMING DETAILS.
- EXAMPLE SPAN TABLES DO NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WEB CRIPPING, SHEAR, COMBINED SHEAR AND BENDING
EFFECTS, OR DEFLECTION LIMITS
1 WIND LOADS ACTING NORMAL TO THE PANEL SURFACE, WITH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE PRESSURES
COMBINED TO CREATE A WORST CASE EFFECT
