Checks for Out-of-Plane Loads

One of the most frequent critical phenomenon locally occurring on structural members is represented by the coUapse of panels outside the masomy plane. 

The main factors causing this kind of critical phenomenon are  

A critical phenomenon caused by collapse outside the plane can occur in different ways, that is, in the form of a simple overturning, overturning after vertical or horizontal deflection, which are analyzed below.
