    Portal frames are rigid steel or concrete frames used in construction that transfer bending forces from beams to columns through moment-resistant connections, allowing for reduced beam sizes, increased spans, and an efficient structural system well-suited for single-story industrial and warehouse buildings requiring large open floorplans and pitched roofs. They consist of columns connected to rafters or purlins that support lightweight cladding and roofing materials and provide an economical solution for wide-span structures housing industrial and commercial activities.

    Procedure:

    1. The experiment is setup as shown below

    2. The pin attached to the load cell is removed so that the roller is free to move.
    3. A load hanger is placed at the location where the load is to be applied, i.e. distance ‘a’
    which is equal to half of length L 3 .
    4. The dial gauge reading is set to zero.
    5. A load on the load hanger is placed (10N).
    6. The dial gauge reading is recorded. This represents the horizontal displacement at the
    roller
    support.
    7. the load on the load hanger is increased and the dial gauge reading is recorded.
    8. Step 6 is recorded for another 4 equal load increments of 10N up to a maximum total
    load
    of 50N on the load hanger.
    9. Results are tabulated.
    10. The above procedure is repeated from step 1 to 8 for the value of ‘a’ equals 100mm and
    300mm.

    Portal frames can be defined as two-dimensional rigid frames that have the basic characteristics
    of a rigid joint between column and beam. The main objective of this form of design is to reduce
    bending moment in the beam, which allows the frame to act as one structural unit. The transfer
    of stresses from the beam to the column results in rotational movement at the foundation, which
    can be overcome by the introduction of a pin/hinge joint. For warehouses and industrial
    buildings, sloping roofs made of purlins and ac sheet roofing between portals is provided. For
    assembly halls, portals with R.0 slab roof cast monolithically is used.

    Portal frame construction is a method of building and designing structures, primarily using steel
    or steel-reinforced precast concrete although they can also be constructed using laminated
    timber such as glulam. The connections between the columns and the rafters are designed to
    be moment-resistant, i.e. they can carry bending forces. Because of these very strong and rigid
    joints, some of the bending moment in the rafters is transferred to the columns. This means that
    the size of the rafters can be reduced or the span can be increased for the same size rafters.
    This makes portal frames a very efficient construction technique to use for wide span buildings.
    Portal frame construction is therefore typically seen in warehouses, barns and other places
    where large, open spaces are required at low cost and a pitched roof is acceptable.

    Generally portal frames are used for single-story buildings but they can be used for low-rise
    buildings with several floors where they can be economical if the floors do not span right across
    the building (in these circumstances a skeleton frame, with internal columns, would be a more
    economic choice). A typical configuration might be where there is office space built against one
    wall of a warehouse. Portal frames can be clad with all sorts of material but the most popular
    solution, for reasons of economy and speed, is some form of lightweight insulated metal
    cladding with cavity masonry work to the bottom 2m of the wall to provide security and impact
    resistance. The lightweight cladding would be carried on sheeting rails spanning between the
    columns of the portal frames.
