Designing steel portal frame halls is a complex task that requires professional knowledge and experience. Find out why steel portal frame halls are popular, what their advantages are, the stages of design, and what factors should be considered in their design.
Steel portal frame halls are popular due to their versatility and durability. Steel is a material with excellent strength properties, making it an ideal construction material for large-span halls. Steel portal frame halls are also relatively easy to assemble and disassemble, making them attractive for temporary projects or those requiring flexibility.
Steel portal frame halls have many advantages that contribute to their popularity. Here are some of them:
KOBEX has been working closely with the Rzeszów University of Technology to create something new in the construction world. Together, they’ve come up with a special kind of portal frame made from unique cold-formed profiles that come together on one side. They put this new frame through tough tests in a very advanced lab, using a life-size model to make sure it’s really strong and lasts a long time. Thanks to these efforts, KOBEX has developed a portal frame that’s not only stronger and more durable than others but also more cost-effective. This big step forward has even earned KOBEX a patent, proving their new design is a major achievement.
The KOBEX Design Office is ready to tailor this innovative portal frame design specifically for your project. With their expertise, you can leverage this cutting-edge technology for your construction needs, ensuring your structure benefits from the highest standards of strength and efficiency. Trust KOBEX to bring this patented innovation to your next project, offering personalized design solutions that meet your unique requirements.
Designing a steel portal frame hall consists of several stages that must be carried out in the correct order. Check the basic stages of designing a steel portal frame hall.
In the first stage of designing a steel portal frame hall, a detailed analysis of the client’s needs and requirements should be conducted. It’s important to investigate how the hall will be used, what its functions will be, and what loads will act on it.
Based on the analysis of needs and requirements, the conceptual design can be developed. This stage involves creating preliminary sketches and plans to illustrate the general appearance and layout of the steel portal frame hall.
After the conceptual design is approved, a structural analysis should be conducted, including calculations and simulations related to the strength of the structure. At this stage, it’s important to consider all the loads acting on the hall, such as wind, snow, and loads carried by equipment or machinery.
Based on the structural analysis, the detailed design can be developed. This stage involves creating detailed technical drawings and specifications for the construction of the steel portal frame structure. The detailed design is the basis for the production and assembly process.
After the design stage is complete, the assembly of the structural components of the steel portal frame structure can begin. During the production and assembly of the hall, it is necessary to conduct quality control to ensure that all components comply with the design requirements and meet the appropriate standards.
After the assembly of the steel portal frame building is completed, the hall can be accepted and put into use. At this stage, it should be checked whether the hall meets all the client’s requirements and is ready for use.
During the design of a steel portal frame hall, there are many factors to consider. Check the extended list of factors influencing the design of a steel portal frame hall.
