Lateral deflection estimation of portal frame
Lateral deflection estimation of portal frame
(OP)
Hello
I'm going to sit the IStructE exam this year and therefore compiling a variety of shorthand techniques. The portal method gives a good approximation for calculating moments and shears in a multistorey frame. Does anyone know of a simple approach to calculating associated lateral deflection due to horizontal loads?
Thanks

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Oh great, that's good news. Searched a long time on Web for references. Do you know a good example solution for this?

Seems to tally with computer results, any thoughts?
