Abstract
Peak bending moments are compared for a set of steel portal frames of industrial buildings in an open terrain calculated using database-assisted design (DAD) techniques and ASCE 7-05 Standard plots. The comparisons indicate that, depending on the building dimensions, the peak bending moments at the knee based on DAD techniques are generally larger by 10–30% than their counterparts based on the ASCE 7-05 plots. (In one case with a relatively steep roof slope of 26.6° the discrepancies exceed 70%.) For the buildings considered, the discrepancies increase with increasing roof slope and with increasing eave height.
