The Golden Rules of Steel Portal Frame Design for Structural Engineers

If you are designing any type of industrial building, you are very likely to come across a portal frame.
In this video, we're going to dive deep into the design of steel portal frame structures.
We will look into preliminary design, methods of analysis, haunches, struts, fly braces, bending moment, section moment capacity, splicing, transportation, footings and much more.

Thanks Murray :)

Succinct and informative as always. I bought your retaining wall guide, and I'll likely buy any other structural publication you put together.

Thanks very much. I appreciate your support. That's what keeps me going.

I will put on the list :)

Hi Dear, if there is steel frame, the top cord is rafter IPE and the bottom cord is RHS, shall we move the bottom cord - RHS- to lower level ? because in reality the IPE - top cord- is connected say by end plate with the column! and thus shall this be reflected on sap?? or shall we keep them as it is in sap - all are center to center- without shifting the bottom cord to down by move command

Hello, thanks for the valuable information presented in this video. 5:20 Is the haunch length (4m) the total left and right haunches or is each one 4m?

[@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus]

each one

What's the reason behind the design that bolted connections of a column of a portal frame is located at 1/3H of column from top and bottom? Bolted connections of column is at two points of the column.

[@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus]

are you talking about the crane runaway beam connections? Gantry cranes

[@gnidnoeled786]

@@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus Thanks for the reply. This is about portal frames where the bottom part of the column is installed, while the upper part of the column with the rafter is jacked up to the required elevation. Then the middle segment of the column is to be spliced with bolted connections at the top and bottom ends of that segment. I assume the middle column segment is 1/3 column clear height of the structural steel column. What's the reason behind it, why is it the bolted connection is located at that two points?

Salve Gabriel, vc eh foda! Estou fazendo meu primeiro portal frame aqui na Australia!! Complicado.... haha

[@andikamentaruk1504]

can we just model the building as 2d frame, or is there any difference if we model it as 3d?

[@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus]

yes you can analyze the portal frame with a 2D model. I find the 3D models good for bracing analysis, relative sway of portals etc. It considers all the stiffness. But yeah, 2D works as well.

Can I have a favor from You, Can you please share the whole videos series which can help a steel structure engineer beginner as I am. I want to pursue a steel structure designing career specifically using Robot structural analysis professional. Please how can I get your assistance

[@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus]

what type of series?

[@user-lg7gx5ub4x]

I agree, I think some robot tutorials on how you input and explain the reactions against general topics such as this video would be really helpful. Typically you only see either videos on how to use the software or videos on general topics. Might be someone unique to try and combine them . Food for thought, but I would watch.

[@kaviteshdeo2735]

​@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus hy Your videos are really helpful for graduate engineers..it would be really helpful if you could design a portal frame from start to end..wind design to foundation design

[@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus]

@@kaviteshdeo2735 that would be a long video. Best done outside KZbin. Something like a course.

[@rdg5329]

Are you guys from? In Australia at least in my company we use Space Gass, in Brazil I used Robot.
