Portal Frame Design Load combination N0.2: dead

I Sheet 5 of 6
+ transverse wind

The load combination results in an uplift load case causing tension in the members which does not destabilise the structure. Therefore the frame imperfection ,factor EC 3 C15.3.2 may be omitted from this load combination. The partial safety ,factors for loads are 7% = 1.00 and yo = 1.50 The collapse load factor = 6.22, which is greater than in load case no.1. Therefore this load case is not critical for cross-sectional resistance, hut member stability must be checked because the moments are in the opposite sense to load case no.]
