7.0 WINDLOADING
The deflection of VITRABOND panel under load is demonstrated by the following charts. The charts are developed to show the amount of spacing
between supports running lengthwise to the panel in comparison to the panel deflection. Deflections in excess of 51mm (2”) are not allowed as
this may stress the aluminium skin beyond tolerance limits.
VITRABOND panels can be stiffened by various means to resist wind loads and reduce panel deflection.
All stiffeners should be a maximum of 600mm apart.
