Portal Frames in Boundary Conditions

Portal Frames in Boundary Conditions

Portal Frames in Boundary Conditions

(OP)
I have been working through SCI publication 087 (The behaviour of Steel Portal Frames in Boundary Conditions.
Following the 1st design example I worked out I need 155mm^2  cross sectional area to achieve the criteria for longitudinal stability. I am assuming this is provided along the building be the eaves tie, is this correct?

RE: Portal Frames in Boundary Conditions

Hi Vinny

I believe the current SCI Publication for dealing with steel portals in boundary conditions is P313.

This superceded P087.

Do you know if there are any significant differences?

RE: Portal Frames in Boundary Conditions

I dont have both publications in front of me now, but I believe the largest change was to increase the scope of the document to include trussed construction also.
