The Specification Of Portal Steel Frame Buildings

Portal Steel Frame Buildings is the most common structure system. It widely used in light steel buildings
such as warehouses, workshops, sheds, garages.
Compared with the reinforced concrete structure. The portal steel frame has the advantages of a lightweight,
high rigidity, flexible design, reasonable force, and convenient construction.
The composition of Portal Steel Frame Buildings
1. Primary framing: transverse rigid frames (including middle and end rigid framing), floor beams, crane
beams, support systems, etc.
2. Secondary framing: roof purlin and wall girt, etc.
3. Envelope structure: roof and wall panels;
4. Auxiliary structures: stairs, platforms, handrails, etc .;
5. Foundation.
Steel columns, roof beams, and bracing systems constitute the primary force skeleton of the portal steel
frame. It is the primary framing.
Roof purlins and wall girt not only support the roof and walls but also provide lateral support for the main
structural beams and columns, which form the secondary framing of portal steel frame buildings.
The roof and wall panel serves as envelope and closure of the entire structure, while also increasing the
overall stiffness of the steel buildings.

The structural system of the portal steel frame buildings:
1.Transverse load-bearing structure:
1)The composition of the transverse load-bearing structure includes steel roof beams, steel columns, and
foundation);
2)Transverse load-bearing structure supports and transfers vertical and horizontal loads.
2. Longitudinal Frame Structure :
1)Composition of longitudinal frame structure includes longitudinal columns, crane beams, wall bracing,
rigid tie beam and foundation)
2)Ensure the longitudinal rigidity and stability of the buildings;
3)Transmit and bear the longitudinal wind load, the longitudinal horizontal loading of the crane, the thermal
stress, and the seismic acting on the gable at the end of the building and roof.
3. Roof structure
1)Roof panel: It can bear the vertical load and horizontal wind load acting on the roof panel. Generally, it
uses a single color metal sheet or sandwich panel.
2) Purlin: Support structure of roof panel, which can bear the vertical load and horizontal wind load
transmitted from the roof panel.
3) Rigid frame beam: The primary load-bearing members mainly bear the self-weight of the roof
structure and the live load transmitted from the roof panel.
4.Wall structure
1)Exterior wall panels: vertical and gable wall. Mainly bear wind load. It uses a single color metal sheet or
sandwich panel.
2)Wall girt: bearing the vertical and horizontal wind load transmitted by the wall panel.
5. Bracing
Type: Roof horizontal bracing, wall bracing.

1)Roof horizontal bracing: enhance the overall rigidity of the roof. It consists of a roof cross bracing, tie
beam, and fly bracing.
2)Wall bracing: It uses to improve the stability of the wall frame structure.
Use:
1)Enhancing the spatial rigidity of the building structure
2)Guaranteed structural stability
3)Transmit wind load, crane brake load and seismic load to the load-bearing members
External loads act directly on the envelope — vertical and lateral loads transmitted to the lateral portal frame
of the primary structure through the secondary structure.
The portal frame relies on its stiffness to resist external effects. Longitudinal wind loads transferred to the
foundation through roof and wall bracing.
The structural layout of Portal Steel Frame Buildings
The span and column spacing of the portal steel frame mainly determined according to the building
requirements. The main issues to consider in the architectural design are the determination of the
temperature interval and the layout of the bracing system.
Considering the temperature effect, the length of the longitudinal temperature section of the portal steel
frame buildings should not exceed 300m, and the transverse temperature section not exceed 150m. If the
size exceeds the temperature section, it should arrange the temperature expansion joint.
Temperature expansion joints can realize by setting double columns or adjusting the secondary framing.
The main principles of the Bracing arrangement are as follows:
1. The distance between bracing is generally 30m-40m and should not exceed 60m.
2. The horizontal roof bracing and the wall bracing arranged between the same column, it uses to ensure the
formation of a geometrically unchanged system and improve the overall stiffness of the building structure;
3. If the roof bracing arranged between the second columns, rigid tie bars should arrange between the first
columns.
4.The 45 ° inclined bar can most effectively transfer horizontal loads. When the angle of the single-layer
bracing member is too large due to the high column, the double-layer or three-layer wall bracing should set;
5. Rigid tie bars shall provide at the turning points such as the column tops and roof ridges. Longitudinal
rigid tie bars shall provide at the structure longitudinally at the bracing truss nodes;
6. The rigid tie bar of the portal steel frame buildings can use the purlin at the corresponding position. The
tie bar provided when the stiffness or bearing capacity is insufficient.
