INTRODUCTION
Timber portal frames are cost effective, easily
accommodate additional lighting, plumbing, etc
and can be erected quickly. The overall
.
appearance is also aesthetically pleasing.
Timber portal frames are particularly suitable for
use in high visual impact applications eg
churches, halls, or potentially corrosive
environments eg swimming pool enclosures,
buildings housing chemical manufacturer and
storage, tanneries, etc. Portal frames may be
made from sawn timber, Glulam, LVL and
plywood webbed beams. The connections carry
significant moments and must have both
strength and stiffness to be effective.Timber
portal framed buildings may be clad with
conventional metal, or fibre cement cladding, as
is common for warehouses and factories, or
with timber products such as plywood or
weatherboards.For other commercial
applications, cavity brick, brick veneer, concrete
tilt-up or concrete block-work may be required
for fire isolation or compliance with local building
regulations.

Advantages
•Speed and ease of erection
•.Building can be quickly closed in and made
water tight.
•Framework prefabricated in a workshop and not
affected by weather.
•Site works such as drainage, roads etc can be
carried out until framework is ready for erection.
•No weather hold up during erecting the
framework.
•Connected together in factories by welding and
site connections should be bolted.
Disadvantages
•Although steel is incombustible it has a poor
resistance to fire as it bends easily when hot.
•Subject to corrosion

Advantages
•There was a ready supply of a limited range of
.
standard frames that could rapidly be
transported, erected, and finished at an
economic cost.
• they require no maintainance during the useful
life of the building.
• it has a better resistance to collapse during
fires than an unprotected steel frames.
• economy of section area gained by the use of
the plastic method of design in the design of
steel frames is considerably less with reinforced
concrete.
• cover of concrete to the steel reinforcement to
inhibit rust and give protection during fires.
Disadvantages
• they have to be formed in standard size
moulds, for the sake of economy, there is only a
limited range of sizes.

Advantages
• Timber has a natural resistance to fungal
.
decay.
• insect attack can be prevented by impregnating
timber with insecticide preservative.
• timber, which is a combustible material, is not
easy to ignite in the sizes usual to buildings.
•Once ignited, timber burns very slowly and
forms a protective layer of charcoal on its
surface which insulates the remainder from the
worst effects of fire.
• the surface of soft wood timber can be treated
with flame retardants to achieve necessary rate
of flame spread.
