Fink truss :
Fink truss • The fink truss offers economy in term of steel
weight for short-span high-pitched roofs as the
members are subdivided into shorter elements.
• There are many ways of arranging and
subdividing the chords and internal members.
• This type of truss is commonly used to construct
roofs in houses.
Long span roof structure :
• Long span roofs are generally defined as those that exceed 12 m in span
• Long span roofs can create flexible, column-free internal spaces and can
reduce substructure costs & construction times.
• They are commonly found in a wide range of building types such as
factories, warehouses, agricultural buildings, hangars, large shops, public
halls , gymnasiums and arenas.
• Their primary functions are, similar to normal roofs, typically, protecting
against the weather, restricting the spread of fire, providing sound and
thermal insulation.
Portal frames :
• Portal frame are a type of structural frame, that, in their simplest form,
are characterized by a beam (or rafter ) supported at either end
by columns , however, the joints between the beam and columns are 'rigid'
so that the bending moment in the beam is transferred to the columns.
This means that the beam can be reduced in sectional size and can span
large distances.
• Typically, the joint between the beam and the columns is made 'rigid' by
the addition of a haunch, bracket, or by a deepening of the section at the
joints. Portal frames are generally fabricated from steel, reinforced precast
concrete, or laminated timber sometimes referred to as 'glulam'.
•Apex System
•Apex bracket to full depth of the rafter 'C' sections with full width return flanges for strength.
•Apex brace (collar tie in tension) is vital in the construction process and aids greatly in maintaining structural
integrity in high winds.
•Haunch Bracket
•Designed to strengthen the rafter-over-column haunch joint and prevent axial torque (twisting).
•In larger buildings, the addition of knee braces helps to further strengthen the haunch bracket.
•Purlins and Girts
•Only high grade New Zealand Steel between 450-550 MPa is used within our frames.
•Minimum of 10% overlap on purlins and girts to decrease lateral movement within the portal frame.
• Footing Fixing
• A number of fixing methods are available to combat the internal pressures and the reduction of bracing when
adding openings into the building design.
• Bracing
• Bracing is an essential element when designing portal frame buildings.
• Cross bracing, fly bracing and double eave connections are just some of the bracing elements used.
