cold formed portal frame SAP200
(OP)
Dear all;
i am designing a cold formed portal frame warehouse Using SAP2000 , almost of members are safe but the rest are Overstressed knowing that i am using the same Sections and the same loads as shown in the picture in attached.
Please can anyone from you give me a solution to solve this issue ,i'd like to get some from your large experience

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.

I would not build a portal frame out of cold formed steel members, I would use hot rolled steel.

@DaveAtkins we are trying to improve and use cold formed portals the Most possible because is the futur of industrial buildings (light, fast and less expensive)

I would be very careful designing one of these unless you are an EXPERT in light gage design and you have a testing program. I have seen a few firms around here try to design similar buildings and had the pleasure of reviewing their calculations and they were a disaster and they were using tube sections. Using Cee sections is alot more complicated.
As a former light gage designer, I'm with Dave Atkins on this - use red iron

we have already designed and executed a portal of 26 m using cold formed steel shapes for trusses and Hot rolled for column because of its important hight 09 meters.
