PORTAL METHOD

|Charizza D. Montarin, RCE, MSCE||EARTHQUAKE


ENGINEERING|| Portal Method|
Approximate Analysis
Statically determinate structure – the force equilibrium
equation is sufficient to find the support reactions
Approximate analysis – is to develop a simple model of the
structure which is statically determinate to solve a statically
indeterminate problem. The method is based on the way the
structure deforms under loads Their accuracy in most cases
compares favourably with more exact methods of analysis
(the statically indeterminate analysis)

Approximate
Lateral Load
Analysis by
Portal Method
|Charizza D. Montarin, RCE, MSCE||EARTHQUAKE
ENGINEERING|| Portal Method|
The Portal Method is an approximate
analysis used for analysing building
frames subjected to lateral loadings

|Charizza D. Montarin, RCE, MSCE||EARTHQUAKE


ENGINEERING|| Portal Method|
Assumptions made in Portal Method
1. The point of contra Flexure
lies at mid – heights of all
the members.

Point of Inflection
•zero moment location for mechanically
loaded structures |Charizza D. Montarin, RCE, MSCE||EARTHQUAKE

Assumptions made in Portal Method
2. The horizontal shear
acting in the interior
column members is
twice the horizontal
shear in the exterior
column members.

|Charizza D. Montarin, RCE, MSCE||EARTHQUAKE


ENGINEERING|| Portal Method|
•Recall from mechanics of mater-ials that the internal forces P
(generic axial), V (shear) and M (moment) represent resultants of
the stress distribution acting on the cross section of the beam.

Beam Sign Convention for Shear and Moment


|Charizza D. Montarin, RCE, MSCE||EARTHQUAKE
ENGINEERING|| Portal Method|
Internal Axial Force (P)
equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the
algebraic sum (resultant) of the components in the
direction parallel to the axis of the beam of all
external loads and support reactions acting on
either side of the section being considered.
•T = Tension ; C = Compression

|Charizza D. Montarin, RCE, MSCE||EARTHQUAKE


ENGINEERING|| Portal Method|
Positive Sign Conventions:

|Charizza D. Montarin, RCE, MSCE||EARTHQUAKE


ENGINEERING|| Portal Method|
Internal Shear Force (V)
Equal in magnitude but opposite in direction
to the algebraic sum (resultant) of the
components in the direction perpendicular to
the axis of the beam of all external loads and
support reactions acting on either side of the
section being considered.

|Charizza D. Montarin, RCE, MSCE||EARTHQUAKE


ENGINEERING|| Portal Method|
Positive Sign Conventions:
Shears that produces clockwise moments

Positive Shear

|Charizza D. Montarin, RCE, MSCE||EARTHQUAKE


ENGINEERING|| Portal Method|
Internal Bending Moment (M)
equal in magnitude but opposite in direction
to the algebraic sum of the moments about
(the centroid of the cross section of the
beam) the section of all external loads and
support reactions acting on either side of the
section being considered.

|Charizza D. Montarin, RCE, MSCE||EARTHQUAKE


ENGINEERING|| Portal Method|
Positive Sign Conventions:
Following our positive beam sign
convention, a positive bending moment
bends a beam concave upward (or towards
the positive y direction), whereas a
negative bending moment bends a beam
concave downward (or towards the
negative y direction).

and tension in the bottom fibers of the beam
