(OP)
Hi all,
Looking for some tips on how to calculate portal frame bracing sizes.(roof,vertical)
It's a simple single span,5 bay building,6 metres to eaves,roof slope 10 deg. 4.75m between frames,walls built to 2.4 metres.
Thanks

You really should engage the services of an SE of course. We're quite wonderful.
The greatest trick that bond stress ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.

Are you familiar with the methods of truss analysis e.g. method of sections, method of joints or if you want a bit of fun the Maxwell diagram ?
Cheers

Building Control are asking me for a design on wall panels. Would I be required to do a design on this?
The walls are 2.5metres high cavity wall with 140 block inner leaf,no vertical loads on walls,just built between stanchions at 4.75 metre crs.

I sympathise with your being unemployed, but you seem out of your depth.
Perhaps you should find a Structural Engineer to coach you through thia first project? I am very confident you have the required skills, but are lacking the know-how to apply them to this project.
