	Summary:
	Trapezoidal sheet metal is used in contemporary building practice mostly as a roofing of industrial objects. The sheet metal is mounted over purlins, and thermal insulation and final roof cladding is spread over the metal sheets. Increase of the purlin distance requires increase of strength and stiffness of the sheet metal. This can be achieved by selecting of sheets with greater thickness or depth. Instead of this, the sheet metal can be strengthened by making composite structure with other sheet or with plates made of different material. In the paper, the case without composite action between sheet metal and OSB plate, and the case with full shear connection are аnalyzed. Sheet metal strength with and without strengthening was determined using FEM analysis.
