Ures and larger span hot rolled section portal frame buildings. Small span frames, traditionally fabricated from hot rolled sections, had been identified as uneconomical users of steel and required expensive cranes for erection. A cold rolled steel frame, specifically developed for this market sector, was the obvious answer. This tutorial deals with a simple single-span portal frame design according to EN 1993-1-1. This example has already been illustrated in the Steel Construction Institute Publication: SCI P397 and is named as “ELASTIC DESIGN OF SINGLE-SPAN STEEL PORTAL FRAME BUILDINGS TO EUROCODE 3”. Several sets of steel pitched-roof portal frame models were designed using the developed algorithm and the design results were validated using established software - MasterSeries.
This spreadsheet undertakes the analysis of a user specified portal frame consisting of two vertical columns supporting a beam. The spreadsheet then returns the analysis results in the form of maximum and minimum values for each span and support, and generates charts to illustrate the analysis of the whole portal frame structure.
The Spreadsheet includes the following functions;
- Can model portal frame structures with two vertical supports of any length, and a beam of any length spanning between the two supports. The geometry of the structure is entered by the user entering co-ordinates for all 4 joint locations. The program then sketches the structure to illustrate what is being analysed.
- The column supports can be either pinned or fixed. The beam supports are assumed to be pinned.
- Can model portal frame structures of any material by modifying the Modulus of Elasticity. Different materials can be applied to each of the three members for analysis.
- Can model sections of any shape by modifying the cross sectional area and the Inertia. Each member can be different section and/or Inertia.
- Can model portal frame structures subject to any combination of more than 60 loading conditions, including;
- Dead and Imposed loadings applied directly to the joints
- Up to five different Distributed Loads for each member
- Up to five different Point Loads for each span member
- Up to five different Moments for each span member
- Output –
- The spreadsheet analyses the structure in three loading conditions (all members fully loaded, then imposed loads removed for alternate members).
- Returns values for maximum support reactions
- Returns values for maximum joint displacements
- Returns values for maximum member end forces
- Returns values for maximum and minimum bending moments and gives their precise location for each member. Also returns bending moment values at a user specified point and draws a chart showing the bending moments at all points on the member.
- Returns values for maximum and minimum shear and gives their precise location for each member. Also returns shear values at a user specified point and draws a chart showing the shear at all points on the member.
- Returns values for maximum and minimum deflection and gives their precise location for each member. Also returns deflection values at a user specified point and draws a chart showing the deflection at all points on the member.
- Returns values for maximum and minimum rotation and gives their precise location for each member. Also returns rotation values at a user specified point and draws a chart showing the rotation at all points on the member.

Single Span Beam Analysis
This spreadsheet undertakes the analysis of a user defined single span beam subject to a variety of user defined loading conditions.
Continuous Span Beam Analysis
This spreadsheet undertakes an analysis of a user defined continuous spanning beam subject to a variety of user defined loading conditions. It returns values for moment, shear, deflection and rotation of each span of the beam.
Two Way Spanning Slab Analysis
Steel Portal Frame Design Software
This Spreadsheet under takes the calculations outlined in BS8110 for the analysis of simple two way spanning slabs subject to UDLs.
Gable Frame Analysis
This spreadsheet analyses a simple user defined gable frame structure and returns values for bending moment, shear forces, deflection and rotation of each member.
Portal frames account for around 50% of the structural steel used in the UK. For many years design has been in accordance with BS 5950. More recently, the Eurocodes are increasingly specified for design and are likely to be adopted more as software is released. Despite the extensive history in portal frame design, some design issues are not well understood. The course aims to provide in-depth coverage of the major issues surrounding the analysis, design and (crucially) the detailing of portal frames. The course covers frame design to BS EN 1993-1-1.
The objectives of this course are to:
- Introduce a range of practical issues which have a critical impact on the design of portal frames;
- Discuss the loading in portal frames, from BS EN 1991;
- Discuss the preliminary sizing of portal frames;
- Clarify the Eurocode provisions for:
- In-plane frame stability (the significance of second order effects), particularly when the Eurocode cannot be used;
- Member stability and restraints;
- Haunch resistance;
- Serviceability checks;
- The UK provisions for buildings close to a boundary.
- Comment on the design of portal frame connections;
- Discuss the deflection criteria.
The course assumes that bespoke software will be used in many designs, but aims to present the background structural mechanics so the principles are understood, such that a manual design could be completed.
Having attended this course you will be able to:
- Properly assess the loading on a portal frame structure;
- Understand the underlying principles of portal frames;
- Confidently check the analysis, design and details of a portal structure.
Who should attend?
The course is aimed at structural designers who are involved with conceptual design, detailed design or checking of portal frames.
