Steel Portal Fame Construction Drawings

WALL SECTION

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

SECTION A-A


Portal frame construction is a method of building and designing simple 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

BOX GUTTER DETAIL

A box gutter does not hang onto the edge of a roof or on the edge or side of a house as many moderrn pre-formed metal gutters do. A box gutter is actually built into the bottom of the roof or into the roof overhang. The foundation of most box gutters is wood that is then covered with thin sheet metal such as tin, copper, lead, stainless steel, or some other metal that will not readily corrode.
