Hello
I have steel-frame that has to support some insulation and PV panels. The PV panels experience wind-load so push the frame. To analyse the frame, I used the moment area method. I have completed the analysis and the problem I am having is that I do not trust the results. I am getting a BM of 58.795 kNm and I would have expected 20 kNm. I would greatfully appreciate some comments on my workings.
The frame being checked is one of five supporting the loads. The rafter being checked is the second frame from the support so supports 28.6% of the actions.
