U Panel Info

	NOTES: 1. Allowable uniform loads are based upon equal span lengths. 2. Positive Wind is wind pressure and is not increased by 33 1/3%. 3. Negative Wind is wind suction or uplift and is not increased by 33 1/3%. 4. Live is the allowable live or snow load. 5. Deflection (L/180) is the allowable load that limits the panels deflection to L/180. 6. Deflection (L/240) is the allowable load that limits the panels deflection to L/240. 7. The weight of the panel has not been deducted from the allowable loads. 8. Positive Wind, Negative Wind, and Live Load values are limited to combined shear & bending using Eq. C3.3.1-1 of the AISI Specification. 9. Positive Wind and Live Load values are limited by web crippling using a bearing length of 2". 10.Web crippling values are determined using a ratio of the uniform load actually supported by the top flanges of the section.
1. Section properties are calculated in accordance with the 2001 AISI North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members. 2. Ix is for deflection determination. 3. Se is for bending. 4. Ma is the allowable bending moment. 5. All values are for one foot of panel width. * Oil canning is a natural occurance in metal and is not cause for panel rejection.
