FOOTING CONNECTION














The columns or stanchion is connected to the concrete reinforced footing with a hot dipped galvanised angle bracket placed each side of the webs. Note that a UB is made from two back to back C section channels.

Introduction

I passed this site just after Christmas on my push bike. At first glance it appeared to be an ubiquitous portal frame. However the shining relfections from the frame signalled that it was different. The portal frame was not your normal hot rolled steel UB section but cold rolled. The type you usually see in those kit garages and barns, but this spans 20m!
