Portal Frame Analysis Using Finite Element Method: Input Data & Summary

This document contains input data and analysis results for a portal frame structure. It includes specifications for the columns, beams, loads applied, and design section forces calculated. The finite element analysis calculated reactions, deflections, and internal forces at joints. Key specifications are two W18x234 columns, a W24x250 beam, and loads including a 10 kip horizontal load to the right and 145 kip downward load. Deflections were a maximum of 0.8178 inches to the left at joint 4.
