Abstract

The present article exposes the incipient post-buckling behaviour of discrete elastic portal frames with a minimum number of degrees of freedom. It demonstrates that these simple models are sufficient to describe a qualitative behaviour which although generally known is also frequently forgotten or neglected because the continuous problem analysis is quite complex. In particular, the sign of the incipient curvature of the symmetric bifurcation path associated with the sway mode is shown to depend on the ratio between the beam and columns lengths (whose inverse represents a ratio between the corresponding bending stiffnesses). On the other hand, the nonsway mode appears from an asymmetric point of bifurcation.

The substitution of rigid connections by semi-rigid is also shown not to produce any drastic change to the qualitative behaviour in the post-buckling range.
