MITRE 10 Anakie Road


This photo indicates a step between the steel walling and concrete panel lean to section. The UB column has a circular hollow section bracing tie. The UB and haunch are rigidly connected to the column. The raking parallel channel is fixed to the UB column. Both the column and the rafters are braced using rod fixed through the column and the rafter flanges.

The lean to roof rafters are connected to the main rafter via cleats welded to the UB flanges and boltes to the web of the vertical UB dropper which is welded at a mitre joint to the UB rafter. This is inturn braced to the roof via an angle.

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!
