1.0 Introduction This design example has been provided as an aid to engineers in the development of design solutions for LVL and I-beam portal frame systems. The development of loading and the design of footings are not covered as part of this example as their nature is not specific to timber. The design example has been prepared assuming the building is proposed for Auckland, is within an Industrial Estate, and is subject to the following site information: Building Span 30.0 m Building length 60.0 m, consisting of 6 x 10.0 m bays Building Clear Height 6.0 m Dominant openings 6.0 x 6.0 m in one end and one side wall Cladding Pierce fixed sheeting of weight 6.0 kg/m2
Region A6, v500 = 45 m/s, v20 = 37 m/s Terrain Category 3 Directional Multipliers as per AS/NZS 1170.2:2002 This example has been based on relevant current design standards as detailed below:
• AS/NZS 1170.0:2002 Structural design actions. Part 0: General principles • AS/NZS 1170.1:2002 Structural design actions. Part 1: Permanent, imposed and other actions • AS/NZS 1170.2:2002 Structural design actions. Part 2: Wind actions • NZS 3603:1993 Timber structures standard • AS 1720.1-1997 Timber structures. Part 1:Design Methods
Note: Snow and Earthquake loading have been ignored due to location.

Serviceability
Deflection of timber i-beams requires the consideration of shear deflection as well as bending deflection. Additional guidance on the calculation of shear deflection can be found in many Timber Design texts and is briefly discussed in Technical Note 82. Timber components subjected to long term loads such as dead load require the consideration of creep effects. Table 2.5, NZS 3603:1993 demonstrates the relationship between duration of load and creep. The k2 factor is applied to elastic deflections. LVL products are considered dry at the time of supply and can be assumed to have a moisture content less than 18%. Refer Technical Note 82 for Section and Material Properties.

Check Bending Capacity
The bending capacity of an I-beam is based on the critical flange stresses due to bending. For composite timber I-beams the bending moment capacity can be based on a lever arm action about the centroid of the flanges with one flange in tension and the other in compression for a single span application. The restraint offered to the compression flange is instrumental in the capacity of the I-beam. Further guidance on the bending moment capacities of I-beams may be found in Technical note 82.
Purlin design assumes the use of pierce fixed roof sheeting providing continuous lateral restraint to the top flange of the purlin. Since compression edge is fully restrained k8=1.0. So for bending about XX axis Since k8>0.73

The acceptance of serviceability is at the engineer’s discretion. On the basis of applied local pressure factors and the instantaneous nature of the wind gust span/100 is deemed acceptable.

Note: Where k8 < 0.73 the moment capacity becomes a function of the compression flange buckling rather than the tension flange being critical. The moment capacity equation is altered to represent this where the characteristic tension stress is replaced by the product of the stability factor k8 and the characteristic compression stress.

Timber capacity is dependant on the duration of the load in question, this must be taken into account in the determination of the critical load case. One method of assessing the critical design load is to remove the duration of load factor,k1, from the capacity equation and divide the load action effect by k1,

Therefore the HJ360 63 hyJOIST is suitable for use as a purlin based on the implied loading at a spacing not exceeding 1600 mm
2.4 Proposed Purlin Layout
2.5 Connection design
Connection of hyJOIST purlins to LVL rafters needs to ensure that the structural integrity of both the hyJOIST purlin and the hySPAN rafter are maintained. Connection to the hyJOIST by nailing through the plywood web provides the most cost effective method of connection for purlins typically subject to high wind loads (please note this type of connection is not recommended for i-beams subject to high permanent and/or live loads). Nailing through plywood allows for nailing close to the end/edge of the plywood. Packing out the web and using proprietary joist hangers can also provide a suitable connection however the cost of the packing, brackets and labour involved can make this an expensive alternative.

Purlin connection blocks, or seating blocks as they are sometimes called, have been used in a number of design situations for connection of C or I beam purlins where the connection block is either screwed or nailed to the rafter and the web of the composite purlin is connected directly to the connection block. A purlin connection block is proposed for connection using Ø2.87 diameter nails through the plywood web and 14g type 17 screws through the connection block to the rafter. Target the connection for design shear capacity, ØVps of the purlin. Note: The selection of a suitable purlin connection block needs to take into account the end and edge distances of the fasteners as well as the spacing along and across the grain. The use of 4 x-banded connection block reduces the tendency of the long band to split, allowing for the spacing of fasteners into the face to be similar along the grain to across the grain. The orientation of the connection block is important where the plywood web is fixed to the face of the connection block.

2.6 Lateral restraint design
The lateral restraint system needs to prevent the top and bottom flange of the hyJOIST purlin from moving independently of each other. Many systems are appropriate but may require the fabrication of special components. One of the most effective systems is to use hyJOIST pieces together with a hyCHORD bottom flange restraint and continuous mild steel galvanised strap over the top, as shown below.

3.0 Portal Frame Design
The following portal frame has been analysed using elastic structural analysis with Microstran. Elastic structural analysis of a timber portal frame differs little from that applied to steel members except for the different section and material properties. For solid timber a five percent allowance for shear deflection is included in the average modulus of elasticity which removes any need for the separate consideration of shear deflection. To achieve portal frame action rigid connections need to be made at both the ridge and eave. One of the most efficient methods of providing rigid connections is via use of nailed plywood gussets. The additional stiffness provided by the knee and ridge gussets is generally ignored in analysis.
3.1 Proposed Portal Frame
Refer Technical Note 82 for Material Properties.
3.2 Serviceability Serviceability design limits for timber and steel buildings are very similar where the consideration of cladding and absolute clearances need to be taken into account in the relative stiffness of the frame. Short term duration of loading for wind, live and earthquake loads may be calculated by applying a duration of load factor of 1, hence using the elastic deflection directly from analysis packages. For long term loads the effects of creep need to be taken into account. NZS 3603 Table 2 defines k2 as 2.0 for loading of twelve months or more where the moisture content is less than 18%.

* It is typical to pre-camber the portal by its un-factored deflection (ie. Approx 50 mm in the case)
3.3 Strength The selection of design moments is important in the design of timber portal frames. The nature of the interaction of gussets provide specific locations for the selection of critical design actions for the design of rafters, columns gussets and nail rings. Hutchings and Bier [2000] provide guidance on the design moment locations as shown below.
Location A – Rafter design actions at knee Location B – Column design actions Location C – Knee gusset design actions Location D – Gusset to rafter at knee connection actions Location E – Gusset to column connection actions Location F – Ridge gusset design actions Location G – Ridge gusset to rafter design actions A further check along the rafter is require where the critical design actions may not to be at the gusseted location and should be taken as the maximum along the rafter.
3.4 Design Actions
The consideration of critical design actions also needs to take in account the effect of duration of load factors for capacity, hence affecting the determination of critical load case. As with steel portal frames the bending moment diagram should also be taken into account together with the lateral and torsional restraint offered by purlins, girts and flybraces. The following design actions have been tabled as being of interest, other actions have been dismissed by inspection. The point of contraflexure is within close proximity for each case meaning that the critical load case can be determined by inspection.

The timber structures standard does not talk about ‘critical flange’ like the steel structures standard however similar principles apply to the restraint of LVL beams. Guidance is provided for solid sections in Clauses 3.2.5 of NZS 3603:1993 for end-supported beams with discrete restraint to the compression edge (Cl 3.2.5.2) and tension edge continuously restrained (Cl 3.2.5.3). Typically these can be useful in the calculation of slenderness of simple beams and secondary framing however composite sections and members within structural frames require analysis using Appendix C of NZS3603:1993 for slenderness calculations.

3.7 Gusset Design
The knee and ridge connections of an LVL portal frame can be completed by using a plywood gusset. Plywood gussets allow an ease of fabrication and can be readily fixed using machine driven nails. Plywood or minimum 4 x-band gussets are recommended for use in heavily nailed rigid connections because the x-band plies help reduce the tendency of the long band plies to split. This allows the nail spacing to be governed by the grain direction of the rafter or column which ever the gusset is being fastened to. Plywood is available in Stress Grade F11 from Carter Holt Harvey in thicknesses up to and including 25 mm. For thicknesses over 25 mm required for large span portal frames CHH have developed 4 x-band hySPAN sheets (2400x1200) in a 42mm thickness allowing 28 mm (8 plies) of parallel plies. Design actions can be factored by the duration of load factor k1 for comparison in the determination of the critical design action.

3.7.1 Knee gusset design The capacity of a plywood gusset is based on the critical depth at which the gusset bends, which is a horizontal line across the centroid of the rafter and column intersection as shown below.

It is typical that the design shear and tension action effects have little influence on the size of a gusset and can in many cases be omitted from calculation such is their effect on sizing. Compression loads are generally past through in bearing and not required for consideration in gusset design.
Critical Design Actions Load case - 1.2G+1.5Q – (Combined bending, compression and shear) M* = -324.0 kNm Nc* = -83.1 kN V* = 50.5 kN k1=0.8 Load case - 0.9G+Wu (Lateral wind) - (Combined bending, tension and shear) M* = 362.0 kNm Nt* = 102.2 kN V* = 54.3 kN k1=1.0 Consider bending moment capacity Many authors have proposed methods of calculating the capacity of plywood gussets. Batchelor [1984] proposes a bilinear stress distribution along the critical section while Hutchings [1987] methodology assumes a triangulated stress distribution across the critical section and recommends the application of a size factor. Hutchings [1987] methodology is applied in this example. This methodology is suitable for application to both opening and closing moments of portal frames, and has been used on many portal frame structures. Milner and Crosier [2000] propose a similar calculation based on a triangulated stress distribution but propose an alternate critical section and omit the use of the size factor.

It is typical to consider the maximum implied forces on the structure, rather than the applied forces at the specific design location. However if the design criteria is not met then consideration of the implied design actions at the design location may be required. Therefore consider moment and shear forces at critical stress line for analysis.

3.7.2 Ridge Gusset Design The design of the ridge gusset is similar to the knee gusset where the design capacity is based on the moment resistance offered by the ridge gusset section. Typically a mitre type joint is considered. Hutchings [1989] proposes a 0.9 factor be applied to the critical section as defined below.
Savings in design and fabrication can be made by keeping the distance ‘L’ constant across the ridge and the knee gussets. Whilst the ridge gusset may be ‘thinner’ often for consistency of purlin lengths and minimum gusset order quantities it may be preferable to maintain similar gusset thicknesses.

3.7.3 Nail ring design
The design of the nail ring is important because more than half of the nailing needs to be performed on site. It is also important to consider end and edge distances together with allowable nail spacings (both along and across the grain) for the chosen fasteners. Selection of the nail diameter is also critical as it will affect the available spacing and hence number of nails within the group as well as the required penetration into the column/rafter. A staggered nail pattern provides an increased moment capacity by maximising the lever arm action about the nail group centroid. The design of nail groups associated with rigid moment connections are often subjected to combined actions including bending, axial and shear forces. Whilst the bending and axial forces contributions are minor they need to be taken into account. It is normally most efficient to calculate the proportion of force remaining in the nails after the contribution to the design moment affect is taken out. The complexity of calculations for the nail ring mean hand calculations can be time consuming and conservative. For this reason computer packages are often employed to develop design solutions. The following design data have been taken from design capacity tables relating to the corresponding roof pitch and member size. The design methodology, including k factors, from AS1720.1 has been applied to create nail ring capacities for a number of section sizes and gusset widths. These tables can be found in Engineering Bulletin No.2, Rigid Moment Connections using CHH veneer based products. AS1720.1 was used due to its close relationship between the lateral capacities of nails in testing with CHH’s range of LVL and the published values for joint group JD4. It should be noted that many of the ‘k’ factors used in calculation of connection capacities differ between the standards and it is recommended that for connections these not be mixed and matched.

3.7.3.1 Knee nail ring design Critical Design Actions The critical design actions need only be considered in the nail ring design as the effects of stress reversal do not affect the nature of the nail design.

# # As per Table 2.7, AS1720.1 The methodology proposed for the calculation of nail group capacity for combined bending, axial and shear force involves the following steps:
1. Calculate moment capacity of nail rings in accordance with AS1720.1. AS1720.1 provides a capacity calculation for transfer of in plane moments through nailed moment ring such that:

3.8 Column to footing connection design
Connection of portal frame columns to footings can be achieved by base brackets that are suitably sized and fixed directly to the LVL columns. A similar design philosophy is applied to the design and specification of hold down anchors and base plates as would normally be applied to steel where the buckling of the plate under tension needs to be considered. The connection of the base brackets to the column could be achieved using nails, screws or bolts. Nails are typically not recommended of base plates in larger structures because of the number of nails required combined with the fact they would need to be hand driven through holes in plates. Bolts can be used and are good to aid in the transfer of bracing loads across the column. Screws are ideal for most base bracket connections due to their ease of application. It is important that screw patterns are staggered for both sides of the column so that splitting of the LVL does not occur. Again reactions are factored to take into consideration duration of load factors.

It is typical in Timber structures to provide a moisture barrier at the base of the columns to eliminate the column from getting wet and staying wet during the construction period. This can be typically achieved by using H3.2 treated Plywood and melthoid at both the LVL column end and ground as detailed in the structural drawings. Downwards loads may be considered to be taken out in bearing so for the design of connections only uplift loads need be considered.

Connection of hyCHORD girts is easiest performed using proprietary brackets and screws or nails. The proposed bracket is manufactured by Mitek. It is important to ensure that the depth of proprietary brackets is at least 60% of the depth for beams up to 50 mm thick. Propose JH47x190 to suit 190x45 hyCHORD. It is typical to apply a practical minimum number of nails for bracket and beam stability, for members around 190 mm deep we recommend a minimum of 10/Ø3.15x35 FH nails ie. 5/Ø3.15 nails per tab.

5.2 Connection design
Two different connections are required for the mullion. Connection to the ground is proposed using Mitek CF2x brackets whilst the connection to the eaves beam can be performed using two Mitek N21 Diagonal Cleats. The design capacities expressed in the Mitek literature are based on fully nailing out the holes. We can calculate a reduced number of fasteners for ease of installation whilst maintaining the structural integrity. It is recommended that the reduced number of fasteners are evenly distributed across the tab/bracket area. Propose use of proprietary Ø3.15x35 FH nails for connection to mullion.

The capacity of solid timber girts is also dependant on the nature of lateral tortional buckling restraint and the critical edge to which the loading and restraint is provided. It is therefore important to consider both positive and negative wind pressures.

8.0 Mullion design, end wall Wind posts may be designed for buildings where smaller frames are used in the end walls. Wind posts would be required to resist axial loads from the frames as well as horizontal wind loads. A reduced frame was not used in this example as its analysis is similar to other portal frame components where special attention is paid to the bending moment diagram and restraint offered by purlins. Additional end wall bracing may also be required to limit the sway achieved by the reduced section frame.
End wall mullions are typically symmetrical about the ridge line to allow for repetition of detail and order lengths. Depending on spans and quantities individual calculations of mullion sizes may have cost benefits. In this case given there are only four mullions per end wall we will design the mullion that has the maximum span. End wall mullions can be detailed to fix to the inside or outside of the end wall frame. Connection to the outside of the frame is less complicated because the purlins do not create clashes with proposed mullion locations.
Consider end wall mullion
Mullion Span 8.2 m Girt Spacing 1660 mm Propose 400x63 hySPAN for use as end wall mullion.

The effect of beam slenderness have reduced the capacity of this section such that it is not suitable to support the required load. In this type of situation it is an opportunity to select a thicker, lower strength and cost section such as 400x90 hy90 to replace the 400x63 hySPAN. Whilst hy90 has a lower Characteristic Bending Strength the additional thickness means that a 63mm hySPAN and 90mm hy90 compare favourably with each other as a direct strength and stiffness comparison (refer Appendix 2). The fact that the hy90 section in question has a lower depth to breadth ratio means it is more stable, and hence may be suitable for the end wall mullion.
Try 400x90 hy90 as end wall mullion:

Connection to the ground is proposed using Mitek CF2x brackets, similar to the side wall mullion. The connection to the rafter requires tension capable fixings. One system using proprietary brackets involves the use of three Mitek concealed purlin cleats (CP80) together with one suitable length cyclone tie. Consider system capacity CT1200 Cyclone Tie, wrapped around mullion with 5 nails per end.

9.0 Longitudinal Bracing
Portal Frame action takes care of the lateral loads however Longitudinal Bracing is required to transfer the longitudinal forces to the ground. For spans up to 20m strap bracing is a cheap and easy way to achieve the required longitudinal bracing requirements. For spans above 20m the installation time required for strap bracing can outweigh any advantages of the low costs of materials. Traditional threaded rod may be used for bracing or timber braces can be developed. Timber (LVL) braces can be used for loading in tension and compression and can be suitably fixed to purlins and girts to reduce buckling lengths. Both Mitek and Pryda have proprietary brackets suitable for connection to timber frames. Matching bracing points with mullion/wind post loads is theoretically the best option but is nearly always impractical for larger structures. Essentially the braced bays will act as a truss transferring the loads through the purlins between braced bays. This can be easily modelled using structural analysis packages.

For long buildings it is good practice to have a bracing bay each end of the building rather than relying on the building to transfer all bracing loads from one end to the other, for this example we propose two braced bays.

Purlins in end bays may be subjected to tension and compression forces from braced bays. These forces need to be considered in the design capacity. The load to be transferred through the purlin system in both tension and compression is relative to the force in the brace. This force can be calculated as a designer would for a steel building.
