Abstract
The purpose of the current paper is to compare and to estimate in a numerical manner the influence of the cladding type on the sway stability indicators of the structure, such as buckling modes and critical load multiplication factors αcr. The paper presents comparative results obtained in terms of stabilization effects given by trapezoidal sheeting and mineral wool core sandwich panels supported by Z purlins applied on the reference cold-formed steel structure. A parametric study was also performed, showing the degradation tendency of stressed skin effect, as the length is increased by adding additional bays to the structure.
