Abstract

Nowadays, multi-storey structure portal frames are most commonly used worldwide. Multistory frames are used in structural systems in all metropolitan cities, future cities, and important businesses. The present study the effect of various point loads varying from 22 to 32 kN in steps of 2 were applied on the center of horizontal beams of the frame structure. The deflection behaviour in form of deflection, reaction, beading moments under point loading were discussed analytically according to stiffness matrix method and the results are validated with the help of simulation using STAAD Pro software. Results revealed that the analytical method using manual calculations in excel sheet provides approximately similar results as obtained by the costly simulation technique using STAAD Pro software. Therefore, the implementation of this excel sheet can be recommended for standard analysis of portal frame structures based on the outcomes of this study.
