OPTIMUM PLASTIC DESIGN OF A PORTAL FRAME FOR ALTERNATIVE LOADS.

Abstract

Minimum-weight design of a portal frame for alternative combinations of horizontal and vertical loads is discussed. It is shown that the usual proof of the existence of a Foulkes mechanism as a necessary condition for minimum weight cannot be carried over to this problem. (Author)
