Site Visit 2- St Albans Church


One sunday morning i was sitting in church and looked around the building and noticed it to be a portal frame, although it looks a little different.

This frame doesn't have so much haunching as originally said, cos i thought it had to be one third of the lenght.
This is a good example because you can see additional bracing in the column.

Alex,
Your analytical comments on the photographs are good (it's pleasing to know at least one person listens to me). Extensions to existing structures are always complicated & often messy- a good learning exercise.-well done. HOWEVER, where are the tute exercises? I am keen to see more of your work. R.K.
