Pitched Roof Symmetric Portal Frame

Series of cyclic loading were imposed on the frames equipped with various curved dampers to assess their impacts on steel portal frames.

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. 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. Tests on a typical single storey industrial frame 4 will show that this symmetric failure mechanism does not always.

Five dampers with the same length and thickness yet with different angles and eccentricities had been used in the pitched roof symmetric and mono pitch portal frames. 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. The next lecture presents the design of portal frames using plastic analysis. This damper also provides 9 85 more frame strength than the same portal frame with a welded connection without damper.

The design of pitched roof steel portal frames against fire. 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. The most commonly seen is the pitched roof symmetric portal frame which is a low building with the roof tapering to a point in the middle.
