PORTAL FRAME DESIGN

The portal frame dimensions, load and load combinations were designed to the design brief.
Bracings were selected for the end frames for both the roof and wall sections. Haunches with two
tapers are constructed at the ends of every rafter, 25% of its length. This is illustrated in the figure
below.

A load and buckling analysis over the specified load combinations, and member design check were
conducted. The following summarises the node reactions and buckling factors.
