1. The Strong-Wall site-built portal frame system (PFS) is applicable for use up to 3 m max. The height is permitted to be increased to 3.6 m with a 600 mm max. dwarf wall. Wall-bracing allowable lateral load must be reduced by a 0.80 factor. 2. Use limited to single-story and the first of two-storey applications. 3. Concurrent vertical load denotes the total maximum concentric vertical load permitted on the panel acting in combination with the lateral wind loading. 4. The designer is responsible for the beam design. The reaction at beam/column interface shall not exceed the tabulated maximum allowable beam end reaction. 5. LVL is 14,000 MPa (minimum). LVL with E=13,200 MPa can be adopted with a reduction of 5% to bracing capacities. 6. Minimum header depths of 300 mm for LVL.
