The work of the tent fence on the shearing strength in light metal structures

Abstract

Abstract Over the past decades, the use of tent fences has increased significantly. Since the application of these materials is gaining great interest in use every year, sufficient experience in the design and research of tent fencing as part of structures has not yet been obtained. For structures with the use of tent fences, the research is aimed at studying the wind impact, and especially the joint work of the frame with the awning, their overall stiffness. Modern regulatory documents do not show a complete picture of the behavior of tent materials when they are included in the work of structural frames, so there is a need to analyze and study their behavior under the influence of wind load. In this article, the work of the tent fence is considered, as well as a numerical study of the stress-strain state of light metal structures with a tent covering is performed.
