3 Determining loading on frame

31Combination factors ψThe combination ψ must be found from Eurocode 1 (EN1991-1) or relevant NADNote that because most portal frame designs are governed by gravity (dead + snow)loading so in this worked example only maximum vertical load combination isconsidered Therefore the combination factor ψ is never applied in this examplebut for full analysis the following load combination should be considered

1) Maximum gravity loads without wind causing maximum sagging moment in therafter and maximum hogging moments in the haunches

2) Maximum wind loading with minimum gravity loads causing maximum reversalof moment compared with case 1 The worst wind case might be from eithertransverse wind or longitudinal wind so both must be checked

32Snow loading

General

Snow loading in the roof should be determined as follow

micro

Wheremicro is the roof shape coefficient is the exposure coefficient usually taken as 1 is the thermal coefficient set to 1 for nominal situations Is the characteristic value of ground snow load for

relevant altitude

Roof shape coefficient

Shape coefficients are needed for an adjustment of the ground snow load to a snowload on the roof taking into account effects caused by non-drifted and drifted snowloading

The roof shape coefficient depends on the roof angle so

0 3 0 micro =08

Snow load on the ground

For the snow load on the ground the characteristic value depends on the climatic regionfor site in the UK the following expression is relevant

Sk=0140z-01+(A501)Where

Z is the( zone number 9 ) depending on the snow load on sea levelhere in Sheffield z=3

A is the altitude above sea level A=175m

Oslash = radic 05 1 5

Oslash = 354 x 10-3

The column loads could be calculated by a frame analysis but a simple calculationbased on plan areas is suitable for single storey portals

(i) Permanent loads ( un-factored )

Rafter = (745 x 15 x 98) 103 = 11 KNRoofing = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KNServices = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KN

_________Total = 542 KN

(ii) Variable loads ( un-factored )

Snow load = 15 x 054 x 72 = 583 KN

Thus the un-factored equivalent horizontal forces are given by

(i) Permanentcolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 542 = 019 KN

(ii) Variablecolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 583 = 021 KN

Note EC3 requires that all loads that could occur at the same time are consideredtogether so the frame imperfection forces and wind loads should be considered asadditive to permanent loads and variable loads with the appropriate load factors

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

632 Cross-section Resistance

The frame analysis assumed that there is no reduction in the plastic moment

resistance from interaction with shear force or axial force This assumption mustbe checked because it is more onerous than that the cross-sectional resistanceis sufficient

- Max shear force VEd = 1605 KN at haunch tip

- Max axial force NEd = 1669 KN at haunch tip

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

31Combination factors ψThe combination ψ must be found from Eurocode 1 (EN1991-1) or relevant NADNote that because most portal frame designs are governed by gravity (dead + snow)loading so in this worked example only maximum vertical load combination isconsidered Therefore the combination factor ψ is never applied in this examplebut for full analysis the following load combination should be considered

1) Maximum gravity loads without wind causing maximum sagging moment in therafter and maximum hogging moments in the haunches

2) Maximum wind loading with minimum gravity loads causing maximum reversalof moment compared with case 1 The worst wind case might be from eithertransverse wind or longitudinal wind so both must be checked

32Snow loading

General

Snow loading in the roof should be determined as follow

micro

Wheremicro is the roof shape coefficient is the exposure coefficient usually taken as 1 is the thermal coefficient set to 1 for nominal situations Is the characteristic value of ground snow load for

relevant altitude

Roof shape coefficient

Shape coefficients are needed for an adjustment of the ground snow load to a snowload on the roof taking into account effects caused by non-drifted and drifted snowloading

The roof shape coefficient depends on the roof angle so

0 3 0 micro =08

Snow load on the ground

For the snow load on the ground the characteristic value depends on the climatic regionfor site in the UK the following expression is relevant

Sk=0140z-01+(A501)Where

Z is the( zone number 9 ) depending on the snow load on sea levelhere in Sheffield z=3

A is the altitude above sea level A=175m

Oslash = radic 05 1 5

Oslash = 354 x 10-3

The column loads could be calculated by a frame analysis but a simple calculationbased on plan areas is suitable for single storey portals

(i) Permanent loads ( un-factored )

Rafter = (745 x 15 x 98) 103 = 11 KNRoofing = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KNServices = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KN

_________Total = 542 KN

(ii) Variable loads ( un-factored )

Snow load = 15 x 054 x 72 = 583 KN

Thus the un-factored equivalent horizontal forces are given by

(i) Permanentcolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 542 = 019 KN

(ii) Variablecolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 583 = 021 KN

Note EC3 requires that all loads that could occur at the same time are consideredtogether so the frame imperfection forces and wind loads should be considered asadditive to permanent loads and variable loads with the appropriate load factors

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

632 Cross-section Resistance

The frame analysis assumed that there is no reduction in the plastic moment

resistance from interaction with shear force or axial force This assumption mustbe checked because it is more onerous than that the cross-sectional resistanceis sufficient

- Max shear force VEd = 1605 KN at haunch tip

- Max axial force NEd = 1669 KN at haunch tip

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

1) Maximum gravity loads without wind causing maximum sagging moment in therafter and maximum hogging moments in the haunches

2) Maximum wind loading with minimum gravity loads causing maximum reversalof moment compared with case 1 The worst wind case might be from eithertransverse wind or longitudinal wind so both must be checked

32Snow loading

General

Snow loading in the roof should be determined as follow

micro

Wheremicro is the roof shape coefficient is the exposure coefficient usually taken as 1 is the thermal coefficient set to 1 for nominal situations Is the characteristic value of ground snow load for

relevant altitude

Roof shape coefficient

Shape coefficients are needed for an adjustment of the ground snow load to a snowload on the roof taking into account effects caused by non-drifted and drifted snowloading

The roof shape coefficient depends on the roof angle so

0 3 0 micro =08

Snow load on the ground

For the snow load on the ground the characteristic value depends on the climatic regionfor site in the UK the following expression is relevant

Sk=0140z-01+(A501)Where

Z is the( zone number 9 ) depending on the snow load on sea levelhere in Sheffield z=3

A is the altitude above sea level A=175m

The column loads could be calculated by a frame analysis but a simple calculationbased on plan areas is suitable for single storey portals

(i) Permanent loads ( un-factored )

Rafter = (745 x 15 x 98) 103 = 11 KNRoofing = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KNServices = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KN

_________Total = 542 KN

(ii) Variable loads ( un-factored )

Snow load = 15 x 054 x 72 = 583 KN

Thus the un-factored equivalent horizontal forces are given by

(i) Permanentcolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 542 = 019 KN

(ii) Variablecolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 583 = 021 KN

Note EC3 requires that all loads that could occur at the same time are consideredtogether so the frame imperfection forces and wind loads should be considered asadditive to permanent loads and variable loads with the appropriate load factors

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

632 Cross-section Resistance

The frame analysis assumed that there is no reduction in the plastic moment

resistance from interaction with shear force or axial force This assumption mustbe checked because it is more onerous than that the cross-sectional resistanceis sufficient

- Max shear force VEd = 1605 KN at haunch tip

- Max axial force NEd = 1669 KN at haunch tip

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

1) Maximum gravity loads without wind causing maximum sagging moment in therafter and maximum hogging moments in the haunches

2) Maximum wind loading with minimum gravity loads causing maximum reversalof moment compared with case 1 The worst wind case might be from eithertransverse wind or longitudinal wind so both must be checked

General

Snow loading in the roof should be determined as follow

micro

Wheremicro is the roof shape coefficient is the exposure coefficient usually taken as 1 is the thermal coefficient set to 1 for nominal situations Is the characteristic value of ground snow load for

Roof shape coefficient

Shape coefficients are needed for an adjustment of the ground snow load to a snowload on the roof taking into account effects caused by non-drifted and drifted snowloading

The roof shape coefficient depends on the roof angle so

The column loads could be calculated by a frame analysis but a simple calculationbased on plan areas is suitable for single storey portals

(i) Permanent loads ( un-factored )

Rafter = (745 x 15 x 98) 103 = 11 KNRoofing = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KNServices = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KN

_________Total = 542 KN

(ii) Variable loads ( un-factored )

Snow load = 15 x 054 x 72 = 583 KN

Thus the un-factored equivalent horizontal forces are given by

(i) Permanentcolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 542 = 019 KN

(ii) Variablecolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 583 = 021 KN

Note EC3 requires that all loads that could occur at the same time are consideredtogether so the frame imperfection forces and wind loads should be considered asadditive to permanent loads and variable loads with the appropriate load factors

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

1) Maximum gravity loads without wind causing maximum sagging moment in therafter and maximum hogging moments in the haunches

2) Maximum wind loading with minimum gravity loads causing maximum reversalof moment compared with case 1 The worst wind case might be from eithertransverse wind or longitudinal wind so both must be checked

General

Snow loading in the roof should be determined as follow

micro

Wheremicro is the roof shape coefficient is the exposure coefficient usually taken as 1 is the thermal coefficient set to 1 for nominal situations Is the characteristic value of ground snow load for

relevant altitude

Roof shape coefficient

Shape coefficients are needed for an adjustment of the ground snow load to a snowload on the roof taking into account effects caused by non-drifted and drifted snowloading

The roof shape coefficient depends on the roof angle so

0 3 0 micro =08

Snow load on the ground

For the snow load on the ground the characteristic value depends on the climatic regionfor site in the UK the following expression is relevant

Sk=0140z-01+(A501)Where

Z is the( zone number 9 ) depending on the snow load on sea levelhere in Sheffield z=3

A is the altitude above sea level A=175m

The column loads could be calculated by a frame analysis but a simple calculationbased on plan areas is suitable for single storey portals

(i) Permanent loads ( un-factored )

Rafter = (745 x 15 x 98) 103 = 11 KNRoofing = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KNServices = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KN

_________Total = 542 KN

(ii) Variable loads ( un-factored )

Snow load = 15 x 054 x 72 = 583 KN

Thus the un-factored equivalent horizontal forces are given by

(i) Permanentcolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 542 = 019 KN

(ii) Variablecolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 583 = 021 KN

Note EC3 requires that all loads that could occur at the same time are consideredtogether so the frame imperfection forces and wind loads should be considered asadditive to permanent loads and variable loads with the appropriate load factors

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

General

Snow loading in the roof should be determined as follow

micro

Wheremicro is the roof shape coefficient is the exposure coefficient usually taken as 1 is the thermal coefficient set to 1 for nominal situations Is the characteristic value of ground snow load for

relevant altitude

Roof shape coefficient

Shape coefficients are needed for an adjustment of the ground snow load to a snowload on the roof taking into account effects caused by non-drifted and drifted snowloading

The roof shape coefficient depends on the roof angle so

0 3 0 micro =08

Snow load on the ground

For the snow load on the ground the characteristic value depends on the climatic regionfor site in the UK the following expression is relevant

Sk=0140z-01+(A501)Where

Z is the( zone number 9 ) depending on the snow load on sea levelhere in Sheffield z=3

Oslash = radic 05 1 5

Oslash = 354 x 10-3

The column loads could be calculated by a frame analysis but a simple calculationbased on plan areas is suitable for single storey portals

(i) Permanent loads ( un-factored )

Rafter = (745 x 15 x 98) 103 = 11 KNRoofing = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KNServices = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KN

_________Total = 542 KN

(ii) Variable loads ( un-factored )

Snow load = 15 x 054 x 72 = 583 KN

Thus the un-factored equivalent horizontal forces are given by

(i) Permanentcolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 542 = 019 KN

(ii) Variablecolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 583 = 021 KN

Note EC3 requires that all loads that could occur at the same time are consideredtogether so the frame imperfection forces and wind loads should be considered asadditive to permanent loads and variable loads with the appropriate load factors

The effects of the deformed geometry are assessed in EN 1993-1-1 bycalculating alpha crit (αcrit) factor The limitations to the use of the first-orderanalysis are defined in EN 1993-1-1 Section 521 (3) as αcrit

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

The modification factor is determined by the form

in which R1 to R5 are the values of R according to equation below at the endsquarter points and mid-length ( R values at positions 1 to 5 indicated in Table 2)

In addition only positive values of ( ) should be included where- RE is the greater of R1 and R5 - Rs is the maximum value of R anywhere ( R1 to R5 )

-

Where (a) is the distance between the centroid of the member and the centroid ofrestraining members (such as purlins restraining rafter) Here for simplicity a

conservative value of (a) is found by conservative method of ignoring the middleflange as shown if figure (19)

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

Figure B1 Dimensions of portal (The insti tut ionof Structural Engineers TP0843EC30816)

a) Calculate the spanheight to eaves ratio = Lhb) Calculate the risespan ratio = rLc) Calculate the total design load FL on the frame and then calculate FL

the load per unit length on plan of span L (eg F =qs where q is the total factoredload per m

The column loads could be calculated by a frame analysis but a simple calculationbased on plan areas is suitable for single storey portals

(i) Permanent loads ( un-factored )

Rafter = (745 x 15 x 98) 103 = 11 KNRoofing = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KNServices = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KN

Snow load = 15 x 054 x 72 = 583 KN

Thus the un-factored equivalent horizontal forces are given by

x 542 = 019 KN

(ii) Variablecolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 583 = 021 KN

Note EC3 requires that all loads that could occur at the same time are consideredtogether so the frame imperfection forces and wind loads should be considered asadditive to permanent loads and variable loads with the appropriate load factors

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

7 Comparison between Different Codes

As the dimensions of portal frame designed in this worked example were deliberately chosen to beexactly the same as worked-example in (King Technical Report P147) a comparison was donebetween the carried out worked example to (BS EN 1993-1-12005) (BS9590-12000) and(ENV1993-1-11992)

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

Figure B1 Dimensions of portal (The insti tut ionof Structural Engineers TP0843EC30816)

the load per unit length on plan of span L (eg F =qs where q is the total factoredload per m

Oslash = radic 05 1 5

Oslash = 354 x 10-3

The column loads could be calculated by a frame analysis but a simple calculationbased on plan areas is suitable for single storey portals

(i) Permanent loads ( un-factored )

Rafter = (745 x 15 x 98) 103 = 11 KNRoofing = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KNServices = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KN

_________Total = 542 KN

(ii) Variable loads ( un-factored )

Snow load = 15 x 054 x 72 = 583 KN

Thus the un-factored equivalent horizontal forces are given by

(i) Permanentcolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 542 = 019 KN

(ii) Variablecolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 583 = 021 KN

Note EC3 requires that all loads that could occur at the same time are consideredtogether so the frame imperfection forces and wind loads should be considered asadditive to permanent loads and variable loads with the appropriate load factors

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

Oslash = 354 x 10-3

The column loads could be calculated by a frame analysis but a simple calculationbased on plan areas is suitable for single storey portals

(i) Permanent loads ( un-factored )

Rafter = (745 x 15 x 98) 103 = 11 KNRoofing = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KNServices = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KN

_________Total = 542 KN

(ii) Variable loads ( un-factored )

Snow load = 15 x 054 x 72 = 583 KN

Thus the un-factored equivalent horizontal forces are given by

(i) Permanentcolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 542 = 019 KN

(ii) Variablecolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 583 = 021 KN

Note EC3 requires that all loads that could occur at the same time are consideredtogether so the frame imperfection forces and wind loads should be considered asadditive to permanent loads and variable loads with the appropriate load factors

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

632 Cross-section Resistance

The frame analysis assumed that there is no reduction in the plastic moment

resistance from interaction with shear force or axial force This assumption mustbe checked because it is more onerous than that the cross-sectional resistanceis sufficient

- Max shear force VEd = 1605 KN at haunch tip

- Max axial force NEd = 1669 KN at haunch tip

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

The column loads could be calculated by a frame analysis but a simple calculationbased on plan areas is suitable for single storey portals

(i) Permanent loads ( un-factored )

Rafter = (745 x 15 x 98) 103 = 11 KNRoofing = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KNServices = (15 x 02 x 72) = 216 KN

_________Total = 542 KN

(ii) Variable loads ( un-factored )

Snow load = 15 x 054 x 72 = 583 KN

Thus the un-factored equivalent horizontal forces are given by

(i) Permanentcolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 542 = 019 KN

(ii) Variablecolumn = 354 x 10-3

x 583 = 021 KN

Note EC3 requires that all loads that could occur at the same time are consideredtogether so the frame imperfection forces and wind loads should be considered asadditive to permanent loads and variable loads with the appropriate load factors

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

The modification factor is determined by the form

in which R1 to R5 are the values of R according to equation below at the endsquarter points and mid-length ( R values at positions 1 to 5 indicated in Table 2)

In addition only positive values of ( ) should be included where- RE is the greater of R1 and R5 - Rs is the maximum value of R anywhere ( R1 to R5 )

Where (a) is the distance between the centroid of the member and the centroid ofrestraining members (such as purlins restraining rafter) Here for simplicity a

conservative value of (a) is found by conservative method of ignoring the middleflange as shown if figure (19)

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

the load per unit length on plan of span L (eg F =qs where q is the total factoredload per m

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

Figure B1 Dimensions of portal (The insti tut ionof Structural Engineers TP0843EC30816)

the load per unit length on plan of span L (eg F =qs where q is the total factoredload per m

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

The modification factor is determined by the form

in which R1 to R5 are the values of R according to equation below at the endsquarter points and mid-length ( R values at positions 1 to 5 indicated in Table 2)

In addition only positive values of ( ) should be included where- RE is the greater of R1 and R5 - Rs is the maximum value of R anywhere ( R1 to R5 )

-

Where (a) is the distance between the centroid of the member and the centroid ofrestraining members (such as purlins restraining rafter) Here for simplicity a

conservative value of (a) is found by conservative method of ignoring the middleflange as shown if figure (19)

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

resistance from interaction with shear force or axial force This assumption mustbe checked because it is more onerous than that the cross-sectional resistanceis sufficient

- Max shear force VEd = 1605 KN at haunch tip

- Max axial force NEd = 1669 KN at haunch tip

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

7 Comparison between Different Codes

As the dimensions of portal frame designed in this worked example were deliberately chosen to beexactly the same as worked-example in (King Technical Report P147) a comparison was donebetween the carried out worked example to (BS EN 1993-1-12005) (BS9590-12000) and(ENV1993-1-11992)

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

It must be checked that the column buckling resistance is sufficient so that the column is

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

The modification factor is determined by the form

in which R1 to R5 are the values of R according to equation below at the endsquarter points and mid-length ( R values at positions 1 to 5 indicated in Table 2)

In addition only positive values of ( ) should be included where- RE is the greater of R1 and R5 - Rs is the maximum value of R anywhere ( R1 to R5 )

Where (a) is the distance between the centroid of the member and the centroid ofrestraining members (such as purlins restraining rafter) Here for simplicity a

conservative value of (a) is found by conservative method of ignoring the middleflange as shown if figure (19)

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

stable between the tensional restraint at S2 and the base This part of the column would be

checked using slenderness calculated

Different countries have different procedure to calculate the slenderness of the column and

check the susceptibility of this part to lateral tensional buckling Thus the designer must refer

to the national Annex In this example the procedure used in for assessing the significance of

the mode of failure is taken from (King Technical Report P164)

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

The frame analysis assumed that there is no reduction in the plastic moment

resistance from interaction with shear force or axial force This assumption mustbe checked because it is more onerous than that the cross-sectional resistanceis sufficient

- Max shear force VEd = 1605 KN at haunch tip

- Max axial force NEd = 1669 KN at haunch tip

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

resistance from interaction with shear force or axial force This assumption mustbe checked because it is more onerous than that the cross-sectional resistanceis sufficient

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

The frame analysis assumed that there is no reduction in the plastic moment

resistance from interaction with shear force or axial force This assumption mustbe checked because it is more onerous than that the cross-sectional resistanceis sufficient

- Max shear force VEd = 1605 KN at haunch tip

- Max axial force NEd = 1669 KN at haunch tip

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

resistance from interaction with shear force or axial force This assumption mustbe checked because it is more onerous than that the cross-sectional resistanceis sufficient

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

The frame analysis assumed that there is no reduction in the plastic moment

resistance from interaction with shear force or axial force This assumption mustbe checked because it is more onerous than that the cross-sectional resistanceis sufficient

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

632 Cross-section Resistance

The frame analysis assumed that there is no reduction in the plastic moment

resistance from interaction with shear force or axial force This assumption mustbe checked because it is more onerous than that the cross-sectional resistanceis sufficient

- Max shear force VEd = 1605 KN at haunch tip

- Max axial force NEd = 1669 KN at haunch tip

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

The value is slightly greater than one but due to the conservative assumption of

KLT=1 the rafter can be assumed to be stable between intermediate restraint(purlinsheeting rails) and purlin spacing could be increased to 167m between apexand hunch region shown in figure 19 Otherwise if the value was significantly greaterthan 1 the purlin spacing (167m) should be reduced

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

633 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the lsquoapexrsquo hingeoccur see fig below Under (dead + snow) loading the outstand flange is intension while compression flange is restrained by purlinrafter connection

Therefore the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in theapex region needs to be checked Because the lsquoapexrsquo hinge is the last to form inorder to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame underdead + snow loading) then adequate rotation capacity is not a designrequirement ie hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotateIt is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB311)is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored Soassuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to thecompression flanges in the apex hinge region then the purlin spacing should notexceed

Lm = 1221 mm = 1221m

bull As purlin spacing is 167m (on slope) thus because Lm has been smaller than167m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 12m

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

Figure B1 Dimensions of portal (The insti tut ionof Structural Engineers TP0843EC30816)

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

Figure B1 Dimensions of portal (The insti tut ionof Structural Engineers TP0843EC30816)

a) Calculate the spanheight to eaves ratio = Lhb) Calculate the risespan ratio = rLc) Calculate the total design load FL on the frame and then calculate FL

7 Comparison between Different Codes

As the dimensions of portal frame designed in this worked example were deliberately chosen to beexactly the same as worked-example in (King Technical Report P147) a comparison was donebetween the carried out worked example to (BS EN 1993-1-12005) (BS9590-12000) and(ENV1993-1-11992)

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

Figure B1 Dimensions of portal (The insti tut ionof Structural Engineers TP0843EC30816)

B1 Initial sizing using Wellerrsquos charts The method described relies for its simplicity on a series of three charts developed by

Alan Weller The chart has been constructed with the following assumptions and whichleads to reasonably economic solution (Note This is not a rigorous design method it isa set of rules to arrive at initial size)

1) The rafter depth is approximately span 552) The hunch length is approximately span 103) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 55) The hinges in the mechanism are formed at the level of the underside of the

haunch in the column and close to the apex

Each chart requires a knowledge of the geometry of the frame and the design loading asinput data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members

Using of charts

Figure B1 Dimensions of portal (The insti tut ionof Structural Engineers TP0843EC30816)

a) Calculate the spanheight to eaves ratio = Lhb) Calculate the risespan ratio = rLc) Calculate the total design load FL on the frame and then calculate FL

2 where F is

the load per unit length on plan of span L (eg F =qs where q is the total factoredload per m

2 and s is the bay spacing)

d) From figure B2 obtain the horizontal force ratio HFR at the base from rL and Lhe) Calculate the horizontal force at the base of span H=HFR W L

j) Determine the plastic moduli for the rafter WplyR and the column WplyC fromWplyR =Mp(rafter) f y WplyC = Mp(column) f y

Where f y is the yield strength

Using the plastic moduli the rafter and column sections may be chosen from the range ofplastic sections as so defined in the section books
