Updated Racking to SCI P437

Posted on 8th November 2024 at 11:17

As specialists in software development for the light gauge steel (LGS) sector, we are committed to providing innovative solutions for engineers, estimators, and manufacturers worldwide.

Our latest software update integrates the comprehensive design guidance outlined in SCI P437. This update necessitates an increase in the number of braced bays required for optimal racking performance, which is crucial for maintaining structural integrity and ensuring safety under load conditions. While this may seem like a significant adjustment, users can still design within the framework of ED002 principles, ensuring compatibility with existing methodologies.
