NOTE: The Picture Window House can be designed using a Vierendeel structure, but now we consider a
simpler problem to discuss the calculation algorithm of Vierendeel structures.
Whatβs the difference between a truss and a Vierendeel structure?
Truss Vierendeel structure
statically determinate statically indeterminate
can be calculated using statics there are too many unknowns in the equilibrium
equations we use an approximate method
all joints are pin joints, only normal and
shear force can be transmitted
fixed joints, capable of transferring bending
moments
the internal forces are either compressive or
tensile normal forces, no bending occurs
bending occurs in the members; normal force,
shear force and moment as internal forces.
Exercise 1. Vierendeel truss
Calculate the internal forces of the given Vierendeel structure!
Approximate method:
Hinges (pin-joints) are assumed at the mid-point of the rods (where π β 0), utilize symmetry and assume the
same stiffness for each members. These assumptions lead to a good approximation of the real behavior.
Step 1: Calculation of the reaction forces
The global statical model is a simply supported beam.

Step 2: Equilibrium of the sections, calculation of the internal forces
Now we calculate the equilibrium equations of the sections of the structure to determine the internal forces.
Since we separate the parts of the structure at pins, 4 unknowns would occur in the ith section: π»π1, π»π2, ππ1, ππ2.
We assume, that the stiffness is constant for each beam, therefore ππ1 = ππ2(= ππ) and π»π1 = π»π2(= π»π). For
Section 1 we use the correct notation, but for the further sections we simply use ππ for the vertical and π»π for
the horizontal forces.
Section 1
We assume: π11 = π12, π»11 = π»12.
Equilibrium equations:
Ζ©FV=0 V1=(1650-275)/2=687,5 kN
Ζ©MAβ=0 H1=[(1650-275)Β·1,25]/3=573 kN
Section 2 Equilibrium equations:

Ζ©MBβ=0 H2=[2Β·687,5Β·2,5-550Β·1,25+573Β·3]/3=1490 kN
Section 3 Equilibrium equations:

Ζ©MCβ=0 H3=[2Β·412,5Β·2,5-550Β·1,25+1490Β·3]/3=1948 kN

Step 3: Internal forces and moments
We can draw the normal force, shear and moment diagrams from the free body diagram.
normal force [kN]
(internal forces paralell
to the axis)
shear force [kN]
(internal forces
perpendicular
to the axis)
bending moment [kNm]
(we draw it on the tensile side
of the axis)
moment equilibrium of joints

Step 4: Determine the maximal internal normal forces and moments
For designing the cross-section, we need the maximal internal normal forces and moments.
We have to identify the heavily loaded members. Method: mark the elements under either maximal normal
force or bending moment. In this problem, we can identify 4 members (meaning 4 different combinations of
N and M).
column:
1. Nmax= -962,5 kN; M = 859,4 kNm
2. N = -275 kN; Mmax = 1375 kNm
beam (chord):
3. Nmax= Β± 1948 kN; M = 171,9 kNm
4. N = Β± 573 kN; Mmax= 859,4 kNm
Step 5: Evaluation of the required cross section
We use the Dunkerley-formula:

utilization of the cross section
ππΈπ , ππΈπ are the normal force and moment from the effects (from Step 4)
ππ π , ππΈπ are the resistances
The resistance of a cross section:
NRd β Οy,z β A β fyd (Οy,z = 0,7 β buckling reduction factor)
MRd β ΟLT β Wpl β fyd (ΟLT = 0,8 β lateral torsional buckling factor)
Try to find a proper cross-section! β cross section catalogue
We choose S235 material quality β fyd= 235 N/mm2
Letβs try cross-section HEB 700 (A=306,4 cm2, Wpl,y=8327 cm3) for the 2nd combination of Step 4!
NEd=-275 kN, MEd=1375 kNm

OK!
HEB 700 is good for the other combinations as well!
(utilization for all combinations: 0,74; 0,93; 0,49; 0,66)
The structure is heavy compared to
a truss and the construction of the
joints is complicated.

Most of our structures are under compression/tension and subjected to bending at the same time. Such
structures are: slabs, frames, beams and columns. Various loads increase the complexity of the calculation,
therefore we need an approximate method.
Portal-method
Frames are statically indeterminate with multiple degrees of indeterminacy. We simplify the calculation by
separating the vertical and horizontal loads.
Vertical loads:
Horizontal loads:
Approximate model: hinges are assumed at the middle of the columns. We utilize symmetry and assume that
the members have the same stiffness. The method results in a good approximation of the internal forces.
Vertical loads
Horizontal loads
The approximate method can be applied, if
- the spans are approximately equal
- the loads are constant and uniformly distributed
- the stiffness of the columns and the beams are around the same

Exercise 2. Frames
Calculate the internal forces of one frame of a monolithic reinforced concrete (RC) framed office building
with the portal-method! Draw the N,V,M diagrams and sketch the deformation of the structure!
Additional information:
- frames are in every 6 m
- stiffness of the columns and beams are approximately the same
- the wind load can be approximated by a distributed load on one side* (due to the stiffness of
the slabs)
* otherwise the upwind and downwind sides must be handled separately
Steps:
1. free-body diagram, taking apart the frame
2. vertical and horizontal loads separately
3. specifying the bending moments
4. specifying the shear and normal forces
5. superposition of the N,V,M diagrams
