Author / Penulis: Edi Supriyanto Email: edisupriyanto@gmail.com Website: Neurostruct Engineering WhatsApp: Contact Us / Hubungi Kami Abstract The physical integration of cold-formed steel (CFS) canopy systems with rigid masonry or concrete main structures frequently results in localized cracking, both in the connecting walls (plaster shear) and around the mechanical fastener nodes (fatigue cracking). This study investigates the dynamic causes of these structural cracks, focusing on thermal expansion differentials and wind-induced vibrational fatigue. By implementing sliding joint mechanisms and calculating localized stress concentrations, this paper provides a robust engineering methodology to prevent structural and aesthetic degradation in tropical canopy installations. Part 1: English Version (Academic/Scopus Style) 1. Introduction Lightweight cold-formed steel canopies offer high flexibility and rapid construction. However, when these flexible structures are rigidly anchored to stiff building envelopes (such as masonry walls), the disparity in structural stiffness leads to differential movement. In tropical environments like Bali, where thermal fluctuations and dynamic wind loads are significant, this rigid interaction causes severe cracking in the wall plaster, sealant failure, and eventual structural water ingress. Furthermore, cyclic wind loading induces fatigue stress around the fastening nodes, leading to micro-cracking in the steel matrix. 2. Analysis of Differential Displacement and Thermal Stress To engineer a crack-resistant canopy, structural engineers must isolate the movement of the canopy from the main building. The total differential displacement ($\Delta_{diff}$) at the connection joint is a function of thermal expansion and dynamic wind deflection. It is modeled as: $$\Delta_{diff} = (\alpha \cdot L \cdot \Delta T) + \delta_{wind}$$ Where: $\Delta_{diff}$ = Total differential displacement (mm) $\alpha$ = Coefficient of thermal expansion for cold-formed steel ($1.2 \times 10^{-5} / ^\circ C$) $L$ = Span length of the canopy member (mm) $\Delta T$ = Temperature variation ($^\circ C$) $\delta_{wind}$ = Lateral deflection induced by aerodynamic wind loads (mm) If a rigid connection (e.g., stiff dynabolt into masonry without a sliding bracket) is utilized, this displacement translates directly into shear force against the brittle plaster, instantly causing hairline or structural cracks. Professional methodology dictates the use of elastomeric bearing pads or slotted hole connections to absorb $\Delta_{diff}$. 3. Stress Concentration and Fastener Fatigue Cracking Cracking also occurs within the steel members themselves due to stress concentrations around the self-drilling screw (SDS) holes under cyclic wind vibration. The maximum localized stress ($\sigma_{max}$) near the boundary of the connection hole is determined by: $$\sigma_{max} = K_t \cdot \frac{P_{cyclic}}{A_{net}}$$ Where: $\sigma_{max}$ = Maximum localized stress at the hole edge (MPa) $K_t$ = Theoretical stress concentration factor (typically 3.0 for circular holes in elastic plates) $P_{cyclic}$ = Cyclic axial load induced by wind flutter (N) $A_{net}$ = Net cross-sectional area of the steel profile at the connection ($mm^2$) To prevent fatigue cracking, the calculated $\sigma_{max}$ must remain well below the fatigue endurance limit of the AZ-coated high-yield steel. 4.

Pendahuluan Masalah klasik yang sering dikeluhkan pemilik rumah di Bali setelah memasang kanopi adalah tembok yang tiba-tiba retak atau bocor di bagian sambungan. Mengapa ini terjadi? Baja ringan memiliki sifat lentur dan mudah memuai saat terkena panas matahari. Jika kanopi ini dibaut "mati" ke tembok beton atau bata yang kaku, pergerakan baja ringan akan menarik tembok tersebut dan menyebabkan retakan struktur (differential settlement). Artikel ini membedah teknik sipil anti-retak yang wajib diterapkan. 2. Analisis Gaya Tarik dan Solusi Sambungan Geser (Sliding Joint) Untuk mencegah tembok retak, kita harus menghitung total pergerakan kanopi akibat panas dan tiupan angin. Pergerakan dinamis ($\Delta_{diff}$) ini dirumuskan sebagai: $$\Delta_{diff} = (\alpha \cdot L \cdot \Delta T) + \delta_{wind}$$ Tukang amatir sering kali memaksa kanopi diam dengan menambah paku beton, yang justru memperparah retakan. Solusi rekayasa sipil yang benar adalah menggunakan sistem sambungan "lubang oval" (slotted hole) atau bantalan karet elastomer (elastomeric pad) pada titik kumpul yang menempel ke dinding. Sistem ini membiarkan baja ringan memuai dan bergerak secara independen tanpa memberikan gaya geser (shear force) yang merusak plesteran tembok penyangga. Selain tembok, retak juga bisa terjadi pada baja ringan itu sendiri di area sekitar baut (fatigue cracking) akibat getaran angin. Beban tegangan maksimum di sekitar baut dihitung dengan: $$\sigma_{max} = K_t \cdot \frac{P_{cyclic}}{A_{net}}$$ Dengan menggunakan ketebalan baja yang tepat dan menempatkan sekrup struktural pada jarak aman dari tepi (edge distance), tegangan ini dapat disebar sehingga baja tidak robek atau retak seiring waktu. 3.
