- A traditional 2D analysis model, neglecting the effect of the building envelope, was revised for modern cold-formed steel portal frames with semi-rigid joints. The research demonstrated to practitioners that 2D analysis is often not fit-for-purpose and may cause damage to the structural members. The research investigated prototypes of novel kit buildings (introduced to the UK market by Capital Steel Buildings) that were not previously tested. Results were disseminated by the industry partner and the analysis techniques implemented in the company’s in-house design software. The research also underpinned two KTPs (https://www.capitalsteelbuildings.co.uk/engineering-excellence/).The research highlighted inefficiencies of joints which were redesigned and launched.
