The research and development of a series of innovative self supporting structural roofing products to serve the steel frame construction sector.

该项目旨在将一个成熟的、成功的有限元模型用于开发结构金属甲板（地板），以研究结构屋顶的潜力。新模型将允许对当前的“一致”结构屋顶设计进行详细分析，以确定它们是否适合要求更高的结构。此外，将开发一种新的概念，着眼于形式和功能，以提供增强的结构完整性，更具成本效益的解决方案和更环保的方法。将对浅顶和深顶剖面进行调查和开发，以达到验证和认证的状态。

This project intends to transfer a proven, and successful, FEA model for developing structuralmetal decking (flooring) to examine the potential for structural roofing.The new model will allow detailed analysis of current “consistent” structural roofing designs,to ascertain their suitability for the more demanding structures.Furthermore, a new concept will be developed looking at form and function with a remit toprovide enhanced structural integrity, more cost effective solutions and a moreenvironmentally sensitive approach.Both shallow and deep roof profiles will be investigated and developed to a validated andcertified status.
