Structural Mastery: Unveiling Crucial Considerations in Portal Steel Frame Design
Main Article Content
Abstract
The practical implementation of portal steel frames has witnessed notable advancements through the strategic incorporation of inclined beams. This innovative addition serves a dual purpose, enhancing overall structural stability while curbing the consumption of foundational materials. The result is an effective cost-control strategy, ensuring economic feasibility during the construction process. Additionally, the introduction of lightweight steel structures within portal steel frames contributes to a substantial reduction in the overall structural weight. This not only promotes the structural system's seismic performance but also underscores its suitability for a wide range of applications, particularly in the construction of single-storey houses and industrial plants. The utilization of portal steel frames equipped with lightweight steel structures offers a cost-effective approach to single-storey house construction. This synergy between structural elements enables a practical and efficient construction process. Consequently, portal steel frames have become an integral component in the construction of industrial plants, facilitating enhanced efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, for these structural systems to fulfill their full potential, a systematic analysis is indispensable to address the myriad challenges inherent in the design process. A continual commitment to enhancing design quality remains the cornerstone of broadening the scope of their application.
