Comparison of optimal designs of steel portal frames including topological asymmetry considering rolled, fabricated and tapered sections
A structural design optimisation has been carried out to allow for asymmetry and fully tapered portal frames. The additional weight of an asymmetric structural shape was found to be on average 5–13% with additional photovoltaic (PV) loading having a negligible effect on the optimum design. It was al...
