Abstract

The state-of-the-art in stressed skin theory is little changed since the early 1980’s. Recent developments have required researchers to return to this scenario in order to consider the implications of ‘parasitic’ (unwanted) stressed skin action in portal frame buildings of greatly increased scale. A particular feature is the introduction of new cladding systems that were not available at that time. This paper shows the steps that need to be considered when a new cladding system (sandwich panels) is to be introduced into the existing state of the art. It is considered to be important that research groups throughout the world work together in harmony in this context in order to maintain consistency.
