Pitched Roof Symmetric Portal Frame

This lecture presents the elastic analysis and design of portal frames considering mainly the case of single bay and pitch roof which is the most common in practice.

Pitched roof symmetric portal frame.

The design of pitched roof steel portal frames against fire. 25 to 35 m are the most efficient spans. Generally fabricated from ub sections with a substantial eaves haunch section which may be cut from a rolled section or fabricated from plate. This damper also provides 9 85 more frame strength than the same portal frame with a welded connection without damper.

In pitched roof symmetric portal frames with welded connections 30 damper provides 7 71 more energy dissipation than a portal frame with a welded connection without damper 1376 68 kn m. Portal frames are single storey single or multi bay frames with pitched or flat roof figure 1. Series of cyclic loading were imposed on the frames equipped with various curved dampers to assess their impacts on steel portal frames. Tests on a typical single storey industrial frame 4 will show that this symmetric failure mechanism does not always.

The next lecture presents the design of portal frames using plastic analysis. Pitched roof symmetric portal frame. It is also possible to have the highest point of the roof set to one side and this is usually used when the building is close to other buildings or when the span is a short one.
