Example E.4B W-shape compression member (moment frame)

The results are generated with SDC Verifier 3.6 and calculated with FEMAP v11.0.0 Task: Using the effective length method, determine the available strength of the column shown subject to the same gravity loads shown in Exmple E.4A with the column pinned at the base about x-x axis. All other assumptions remain the same. Solution: As determined in Example E.4A, […]

Example F.7A HSS flexural member with noncompact flanges

The results are generated with SDC Verifier 3.7.1 and calculated with FEMAP v11.0.0. The Example was calculated in American unit system. Task: Select a rectangular ASTM A500 Grade B HSS beam with the span of 21 ft. The loads include a uniform dead load of 0.15 kip/ft and a uniform live load of 0.4 kip/ft. Limit […]

Example D.4 Rectangular HSS tension member

The results of tensile yielding and recommended slenderness limit calculation according to SDC Verifier and Design Examples of AISC (official version 14.1) are compared. The goal is to test SDC Verifier and reach valid results according to Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-10 chapter D). The results are generated with SDC Verifier 3.6 and […]

Example D.3 WT-shape tension member

The results of tensile yielding and recommended slenderness limit calculation according to SDC Verifier and Design Examples of AISC (official version 14.1) are compared. The goal is to test SDC Verifier and reach valid results according to Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-10 chapter D). The results are generated with SDC Verifier 3.6 and […]

Example D.2 Single angle tension member

The results of tensile yielding and recommended slenderness limit calculation according to SDC Verifier and Design Examples of AISC (official version 14.1) are compared. The goal is to test SDC Verifier and reach valid results according to Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-10 chapter D). The results are generated with SDC Verifier 3.6 and […]

Example D.1 W-shape tension member

The results of tensile yielding and recommended slenderness limit calculation according to SDC Verifier and Design Examples of AISC (official version 14.1) are compared. The goal is to test SDC Verifier and reach valid results according to Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-10 chapter D).
