Abstract

Provides guidance on the design of steel portal frame buildings to both the specifier and the designer. It is targeted at the single storey construction market in continental Europe, and Eurocode 3 (ENV 1993-1-1) has been chosen for the basis of calculations to exploit the opportunity it provides for a commonly accepted design standard. Addresses the conceptual decisions that must be made to specify a portal frame building that will satisfy the clients requirements, and guides the designer through the principles of design of portal frames to Eurocode 3. Contains worked examples for both plastic portal and elastic portal design. Appendices present the detailed requirements of the Eurocode and list important differences between UK practice and the European requirements.
