Approximate Analysis of multistoried building frame for lateral load using ‘Portal method’

Assumptions: P 2P P
1. There is a hinge at the center of each beam.
2. There is a hinge at the center of each column
3. The total horizontal shear at each story is divided between the columns on that story
so that each interior columns carries twice as much shear as each exterior column
