A haunch is often added to beams or columns in structural models to increase strength or stiffness at critical locations, such as at supports or connections. Below are detailed step by step guide to modelling haunches on a Portal Frame in Prokon Frame Analysis.
By defining and assigning haunches in Prokon Frame Analysis, engineers can enhance the structural performance of critical regions in beams and columns. With careful attention to section properties and placement, haunches can effectively improve strength, stiffness, and load resistance in structural models.
