Likewise there are many other instances when theelements <strong>and</strong>/or components are subjected to combined actions.An example of combined bending <strong>and</strong> axial actions is the stud in an external shearwall of a buildingsubjected to wind loading. The wall wind pressure causes bending of the stud <strong>and</strong> the roof windpressure (provided the roof pitch is suitable) causes the stud to be in compression.42
