Frame Analysis-Approximate Methods-Portal Method

The document discusses the portal method for analyzing building frames subjected to lateral loads like wind and earthquakes. The portal method assumes inflection points at midpoints of columns and girders and that interior columns carry twice the shear of exterior columns. An illustrative problem analyzes a frame using the portal method and calculates forces, moments, axial and shear diagrams. A supplementary problem also analyzes a frame using the portal method.

ANALYSIS OF BUILDING FRAMES TO LATERAL (HORIZONTAL LOADS)


Frame Analysis (Approximate Methods)
PORTAL METHOD

A building frame may be subjected to wind and earthquake


loads during its lifetime. Thus, the building frames must be
designed to withstand lateral loads.

PREPARED BY:
B.G GARWAGEO,CE, MSCE
Assistant Professor
PORTAL METHOD The portal method was initially presented by A. Smith in 1915,
and it is mostly appropriate for the low building frames
❑ Assumptions:
1. An inflexion point occurs at the mid height of each column.
2. An inflexion point occurs at the mid point of each girder.

Recall (from Theory of Structures):


n inflexion point occurs at Inflection:
Point of the mid point of each
point girder.
of zero moment (internal hinge) & the point of change in bending or
curvature.
❑ Assumptions:
3. The total horizontal shear at each storey is divided between the columns of that
storey such that the interior column carries twice the shear of exterior column.
