PORTAL FRAME STEEL CONSTRUCTION
I apologise for the dark images everyone, i took these after one of my basketball matches as i had noticed in previous weeks that the building was a prime example of portal frame steel construction
Above; In this image you can just make out the c purlin supported by an angle bracket
This was certainly a very solidly built portal frame building. In this shot you can see how 180mm C purlins have been used to brace the vertical members.
This shot indicates how easily the roof and wall structures integrate as the larger UC members meet with the rafters, reinforced by the sturdy end-plate.
200 UC stanchions interconnected by C purlins and heavily insulated make up the wall structure
Above: the angle fly braces are clearly evident in this shot. It is certainly a very straightforward facility.
In the centre of this shot the large 'haunching' member attached to the UB rafter can clearly be discerned
An overall shot to provide an understanding of the scale of the building and the considerable spans between each portal.
