I am assuming the column is pinned at both ends and taking the column as a beam for approximate analysis. the length is 7m and I want to take the effective length (3.5m) to reduce buckling, do I use 3.5m length from the start of my calculation from finding reactions, sf, bm and so on.. or only...
is it okay to add axial load to the dead load of steel column with the self weight of steel + cladding. I will need the dead load for the load combination. Any other dead load i am missing?
for a chs beam do you work out both bending resistance: Mc,y,rd=Wply,Fy/Ymo and lateral torsional buckling = Mb,rd= XltWy(Fy/Ym1). is there a difference or similarity between ltb and bending resistance? or do you use two or one of them in calculation?
Is this the correct way of applying the point loads to a warren truss?

How do you know the right steel to use in a small structure. for example for a single braced tube (1.5m) what section would be appropriate? what about column of 5m. what about the roof truss members what chs is appropriate? Reason im asking is because i cant find any useful resource online that...
is it possible to have wind direction acting y axis on the portal frame? its normally in the x direction (horizontal to the portal frame. Also instead of the front of the portal frame can it also be analysed from wall side so that the wind y direction becomes x direction?
Can proteus HR rain screen cladding system be installed on a timber frame building? if so does it mean plywood sheet will not be use for wall covering and the Proteus Cladding replace it? will the aluminium supporting be used as a stud in the timber frame to support it?
