Abstract: This study aims to provide an efficient and accurate assessment of the uplift capacities of these
roof panels to understand better the behaviour and responses of non-engineered residential roof systems. A
nonlinear finite element model will be developed using the commercial package ANSYS 15.0. The model
used by He, W. (2010) to correlate the nail withdrawal behaviour within a panel will be used to include nail
uncertainty in the analysis. A parametric study on the fasteners schedule will be done. The corresponding
force-displacement curve for the nails will be investigated.
There are also other analyses such as the for dp < D < dm where d=D-dp
Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) by
Vamvatsikos and Cornell (2002) which F = fm exp(Q4 (D-dm)2 )
gives the responses for a given time-varying
wind pressure of interest. for D >dm where Q4 = ln(Q2) / [dm (Q3 – 1)]2
He, W. (2010) also used a dynamic analysis The force-displacement curve is shown in
