Hi everyone,

I am preparing the IStructE exam and I am looking for a design method I could use for designing portal frame structures with truss girders. See sketch attached.

I there any simple formula i can use for getting the bending moment, shear and axial diagrams in the columns and truss under vertical and lateral loading?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Mathias.
