Ultimate Bearing Capacity Analysis of Oblique Beam System Supported by Knee Brace

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article established the oblique beam system supported by knee brace in portal frame by using finite element software ANSYS. We analysed the ultimate bearing capacity of the system, and discussed the effects of purlin stiffness and knee brace layout on the bearing capacity of the structure. Preliminary analysis shows that, increasing the number of knee brace or improving purlin stiffness can improve ultimate bearing capacity of the system.
