Question

Design the portal leg of the frame – Glulam timber to AS 1720 specifications Design information: ? Design height: 4510 mm ? Consider only one load case – permanent gravity loads: Factored dead load (permanent) 11.8 KN – Axial compression 15.7 KN-m – Bending moment (tension outside) ? The portal leg will have an embedded steel plate connection with dowels at each end ? The internal lining of the building will be fastened directly to the portal leg Make a reasonable assumption for the weight of the member and add it to the dead load. The design of this beam/column must be carried out and presented in a professional engineering format. Design: ? Select an economical Glulam section capable of resisting the applied actions of axial compression and moment ? Check the section for shear ? Check the section for bearing
