Portal Frame
Portal Frame
Portal frames, used in several Civil Engineering structures like buildings, factories,
bridges have the primary purpose of transferring horizontal loads applied at their
tops to their foundations. Structural requirements usually necessitate the use of
statically indeterminate layout for portal frames, and approximate solutions are often
used in their analyses.
Degree of Indeterminacy
In order to analyze a structure using the equations of statics only, the number of
independent force components (Reactions) must be equal to the number of
independent equations of statics.
Nos. of Unknown Reaction – Nos. of independent equations of statics = n
Then, the external indeterminacy = nth degree.
And, if number of girder = n, then, the internal indeterminacy = 3n
