Fixed base, horizontal load
Input
Column height
Span length
Second moment of area of the column
Second moment of area of the beam
Horizontal load
Result
Stiffness of the column
Stiffness of the beam
Stiffness ratio
Vertical reaction
Horizontal reaction
Bending moment
Bending moment at column top
Notes
- Reactions for a portal frame with fixed bases and a horizontal concentrated load at beam level.
- The bending moment M is the value at the column base and MB the value at the column top. It varies linearly along the column, so M + MB = Hh.
- The horizontal load P acts at beam level.
- M_A is the bending moment at the column base.
