3 Determining loading on frame
3.1Combination factors ψ The combination ψ must be found from Eurocode 1 (EN1991-1) or relevant NAD. Note that because most portal frame designs are governed by gravity (dead + snow) loading, so in this worked example only maximum vertical load combination is considered. Therefore, the combination factor ψ is never applied in this example, but for full analysis the following load combination should be considered
1) Maximum gravity loads without wind, causing maximum sagging moment in the
rafter and maximum hogging moments in the haunches.
2) Maximum wind loading with minimum gravity loads, causing maximum reversal of moment compared with case 1. The worst wind case might be from either transverse wind or longitudinal wind so both must be checked.
Basic data :
• Total length: b = 72 m • Spacing: s = 7.2 m • Bay width: d = 30 m • Height (max): h = 7.577m • Roof slope: α = 6o

3.2Snow loading
General Snow loading in the roof should be determined as follow
µ Where: µ 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 snow
load on the roof taking into account effects caused by non-drifted and drifted snow loading.
The roof shape coefficient depends on the roof angle so
0 30 µ =0.8 Snow load on the ground
For the snow load on the ground; the characteristic value depends on the climatic region; for site in the UK the following expression is relevant
Sk=0.140z-0.1+(A/501) Where:
Z is the( zone number /9 ) depending on the snow load on sea level here in Sheffield z=3
A is the altitude above sea level A=175m

5.1Frame imperfections equivalent horizontal forces
Ø Ø
Ø = √
0.5 1 .5 Ø = 3.54 x 10-3 The column loads could be calculated by a frame analysis, but a simple calculation based on plan areas is suitable for single storey portals
(i) Permanent loads ( un-factored ): Rafter = (74.5 x 15 x 9.8) / 103 = 11 KN Roofing = (15 x 0.2 x 7.2) = 21.6 KN Services = (15 x 0.2 x 7.2) = 21.6 KN _________ Total = 54.2 KN
(ii) Variable loads ( un-factored ) Snow load = 15 x 0.54 x 7.2 = 58.3 KN
Thus the un-factored equivalent horizontal forces are given by:
(i) Permanent/column = 3.54 x 10-3 x 54.2 = 0.19 KN
(ii) Variable/column = 3.54 x 10-3 x 58.3 = 0.21 KN
Note EC3 requires that all loads that could occur at the same time are considered
together, so the frame imperfection forces and wind loads should be considered as additive to permanent loads and variable loads with the appropriate load factors.

Figure 6‐Frame imperfections equivalent horizontal forces
5.2 Partial safety factors and second order effects Second order effects increases not only the deflections but also the moments and forces beyond those calculated by the first order. Second-order analysis is the term used to describe analysis method in which the effects of increasing deflections under increasing load are considered explicitly in the solution method. The effects of the deformed geometry are assessed in EN 1993-1-1 by calculating alpha crit (αcrit) factor. The limitations to the use of the first-order analysis are defined in EN 1993-1-1 Section 5.2.1 (3) as αcrit 15 for plastic analysis. When a second order analysis is required there are two main methods to proceed: 1) Rigorous 2nd order analysis (i.e. using appropriate second order software). 2) Approximate 2nd order analysis (i.e. hand calculation using first order analysis
with magnification factors). Although the modifications involve approximations, they are sufficiently accurate within the limits given by EN 1993-1-1.

• Although the snap-through failure mode is critical mode as shown in calculation
above, but because this example is for designing single bay portal frames, the snap-through mode of failure is irrelevant but included to show complete design steps for simple portal frame design. Snap-through failure mode can be critical mode in three or more spans, as internal bay snap-through may occur because of the spread of the columns inversion of the rafter (The institutionof Structural Engineers, TP/08/43 EC3/08/16) see figure 10.

• Re-analyze the first order problem with the modified safety factors using same initial sized sections gives the following results,
Load Factor Hinge number Member Hinge status 0.92 1 RHC Formed 1.02 2 LHR Formed
Table 1‐ Hinges obtained from analysis
• It could be seen that using Sections UB 533 x 210 x 109 and UB 457 x 152 x 74 is suitable, although hinge 1 occurs at a load factors ≤ 1 , a mechanism is not formed until the second hinge is formed. Therefore this combination of section sizes is suitable
• Hence size of member initially estimated is suitable and can withstand second-order effects. Note that if the load factors in positions 1 and 2 were less than 1, then the members size needs to be increased to sustain second order effects as the initially sized members cannot sustain second order effects.

6.1 Purlins Today the design of the secondary members is dominated by cold formed sections.
The ‘design’ of cold formed members consists of looking up the relevant table for the chosen range of sections. The choice of a particular manufacture’s products is dependent on clients or designer’s experiences and preferences. Table (Appendix C) illustrates a typical purlin load table based on information from manufacture’s catalogue (King span) for double span conditions. As the overall distance between columns is 30 meters, which is assumed to be divided to 18 equal portions would gives purlin centers 1.67 meters (on the slope). The gravity loading (dead (cladding Load plus snow load) is w= (0.1x 1.4) + (0.54 x 1.6) = 1.004 KN/m2. From the Table (Appendix C), knowing the purlin length of 7.2 m, purlin spacing of 1.25m and the gravity load to be supported by purlin 1.004KN/m2, the M175065120 section seems adequate.

6.2.3Stability against lateral and torsional buckling (EN 199311: 2005 (E) Sec BB3.2.1): . The design of the frame assumes hinge forms at the top of the column member, immediately below the haunch level. The plastic hinge position must be torsionally restraint in position by diagonal stays. With the hinge position restraint, the hinge stability is ensured by EC3 by limiting distance between hinge and the next lateral restraint to Lm.

• Thus there must be a lateral restraint at a distance from the hinge not exceeding (1.53m).
• Therefore if 1.5 meters spacing assumed, this would ensure the stability between the intermediate restraints at the top of the column where maximum bending moment occurs, then the spacing of 1.8 meters is OK for sheeting rails below 2.4 meters from the top of the column, where the moment is lower.

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).

6.3.3 Check rafter buckling in apex region Another highly stressed region is the length of rafter in which the ‘apex’ hinge occur see fig below. Under (dead + snow) loading, the outstand flange is in tension, while compression flange is restrained by purlin/rafter connection.
Therefore, the buckling resistance of the rafter member between purlins in the
apex region needs to be checked. Because the ‘apex’ hinge is the last to form in order to produce a mechanism (which is true for low pitched portal frame under dead + snow loading), then adequate rotation capacity is not a design requirement, i.e. hinge is required only to develop Mp not to rotate.
It is set by EC3 EN1993-1-1: 2005 that if the value of Lm (as defined in BB.3.1.1) is not exceeded by restraint lateral torsional buckling can be ignored. So assuming that the purlins act as restraint because of their direct attachment to the compression flanges in the apex hinge region, then the purlin spacing should not exceed
Lm = 1221 mm = 1.221m
• As purlin spacing is 1.67m (on slope), thus because Lm has been smaller than 1.67m then the purlin spacing would have to be reduced in the apex region to 1.2m.

6.4.2Haunch Stability First, check the stability of the haunched portion of the rafter ( from eaves connection to the haunch/ rafter intersection) as this represents one of the most highly stressed lengths, and with its outstand flange (inner) in compression, this part of the rafter is the region most likely to fail due to instability. As it has already decided to stay the inside corner of the column/haunch intersection (column hinge position), assume that the haunch/rafter intersection is also effectively torsionally restrained be diagonal braces, giving an effective length of 3m as indicated in Fig below.

B1 Initial sizing using Weller’s 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 which leads to reasonably economic solution (Note. This is not a rigorous design method; it is a set of rules to arrive at initial size).
1) The rafter depth is approximately span / 55 2) The hunch length is approximately span /10 3) The rafter slope lies between 0o and 20o. 4) The ratio of span to eaves height is between 2 and 5. 5) 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 as input data in order to determine approximate sizes for the column and rafter members Using of charts

(King, Technical Report P164)
MEd1 to MEd5 are the values of the applied moments at the ends, the quarter points and mid- length of the length between effective torsional restraints, as shown in Figure D.2. Only positive values of MEd should be included. MEd is positive when it produces compression in the unrestrained flange.
