16CSI Portugal - Design of a Steel Frame
Elements:
2) Trapezoidal steel sheeting: longer spans, lighter, thermal insulation possible, better esthetics, enough longitudinal strength for purlins bracing3) Corrugated aluminium sheeting: very light, corrosion resitant, expensive, too deformable (shorter spans), high noise in heavy rain
4) Translucid plastics (polycarbonate): low strength (shorter spans), sensitive to sunlight exposure (become brittle), combustible, very light
4. Roof and Walls Sheeting
1) Corrugated fibre-cement: economical, brittle, unesthetical, heavy, low insulation, asbestos fibres are unhealthy
Sheeting:
(i) Sheeting (iii) Drainage elements
(ii) Purlins (iv) Joint elements and purlins bracing

Transversal bracing
6. Bracing systems
• resists longitudinal horizontal loads (e.g., wind loads in the enwalls)
• prevents global buckling
Longitudinal bracing
• resists transversal horizontal loads
• prevents global buckling
• only used in highly deformable frames• braces the rafters (absorbs their imperfection equiv. loads)
Central
• thermal action generates negligible axial forces• purlins under compression for wind loads (additional beams may be necessary)
Double-sided
• thermal action may result in high axial forces• purlins are not subjected to compression due to wind • No longitudinal bracing
Chosen bracing:
• Transversal double-sided

• Diagonal at 45
Chosen bracing:
Perpendicular
• works only in tension• must be fixed at both ends
endwall column
chord bracing rod
Diagonal
• normally at q=45• low q: less flexible but may not work in compression
• transfers the instability loads to the purlins
• high q: more flexible due to purlin bending

10. Modeling the Structure
1) Stiffness model
• Longitudinal purlins and sheeting axially fixed
2) Strength model
• All purlins axially released (simply supported)
• Purlins connect the rafters to the transversal bracing contributing to their stability
• Purlins do not transmit thermal loads, since they are provided with movement joints (slotted connections)
Objective: perform buckling analyses

Advantages
Disadvantages
• buckling lengths are easily identified
• buckling lengths may be more difficult to determine
• it is necessary to determine the imperfection forces (and eventual P- effects) in all minor nodes
• it is only necessary to determine the imperfection forces and P- effects in the major nodes

12. Frame Buckling Analysis
The lower chords buckling length may be verified using a buckling analysis:
• Only part of the structure needs to be analysed (decreases number of buckling modes to be checked)
• Additional restraints substitute the transversal bracing effect
• Useful to check if lower chord bracing has enough stiffness to function propertly
• Use stiffness model (purlins and sheeting axially fixed)
• Negative buckling loads are ignored

• Buckling length is the distance between inflection points of the buckled lower chord

14. Members Buckling Lengths
In SAP2000 the buckling lengths of members are determined by:
Buckl. length = K factor × L factor × Member length
There are 3 types of L factors:• major axis L factor• minor axis L factor• lateral torsional L factor
Related to the rotational stiffenesses at the member ends
Related to the intermediate bracing
There are 5 types of K factors:
• K1.z – minor plane in braced mode
• K1.y – major plane in braced mode• K2.y – major plane in sway mode
• K2.z – minor plane in sway mode
• KLT – lateral torsional mode
- K2 (sway mode) values are used by default

L factor automatic determination
• In SAP2000 the effect of intermediate bracing due to other bars intersecting the member is incorporated by the L factor:
(i) Only members with 60 w.r.t. the buckling plane are considered as bracing elements
(ii) Stiffness or strength requirements for bracing members are not checked
(iii) L factor is equal in minor axis buckling and lateral torsional buckling

Steel frame design preferences:
• Interaction factors method (EC3-1-1: Annex A and B)
• Check ‘P-Delta done’ if 2nd order effects at the nodes are already determined (Sway K Factors become unitary)
• Set design code and coutry
• Ignore seismic code (EC8)
• Demand/Capacity ratio limit should be 1 for ULS but may be user specified
