Overview
SAP2000 and ETABS fea ture pow er ful and com pletely in te grated mod ules for de -sign of both steel and re in forced con crete struc tures. The pro gram pro vides the user with op tions to cre ate, mod ify, ana lyze and de sign struc tural mod els, all fromwithin the same user in ter face. The pro gram is ca pa ble of per form ing ini tial mem -ber siz ing and op ti mi za tion from within the same in ter face.
The pro gram pro vides an in ter ac tive en vi ron ment in which the user can study thestress con di tions, make ap pro pri ate changes, such as re vis ing mem ber prop er ties,and re- examine the re sults with out the need to re- run the analy sis. A sin gle mouseclick on an ele ment brings up de tailed de sign in for ma tion. Mem bers can begrouped to gether for de sign pur poses. The out put in both graphi cal and tabu latedfor mats can be read ily printed.
The pro gram is struc tured to sup port a wide va ri ety of the lat est na tional and in ter -na tional de sign codes for the auto mated de sign and check of con crete and steelframe mem bers. The pro gram cur rently sup ports the fol low ing steel de sign codes:
• U.S. AISC 360-2005/IBC 2006
• U.S. AISC ASD-2001,
• U.S. AISC LRFD-1999,
Overview 1
• U.S. AISC ASD-1989,
• U.S. AISC-LRFD-1994,
• UBC ASD-1997,
• UBC LRFD-1997,
• Ca na dian CAN/CSA- S16.1-1994,
• Brit ish BS 5950-2200,
• Brit ish BS 5950-1990, and
• Eurocode 3 (ENV 1993-1-1).
The de sign is based upon a set of user- specified load ing com bi na tions. How ever,the pro gram pro vides a set of de fault load com bi na tions for each de sign code sup -ported in the program. If the de fault load com bi na tions are ac cept able, no defi ni tion of ad di tional load com bi na tion is re quired.
In the de sign pro cess the pro gram picks the least weight sec tion re quired forstrength for each ele ment to be de signed, from a set of user speci fied sec tions. Dif -fer ent sets of avail able sec tions can be speci fied for dif fer ent groups of ele ments.Also sev eral ele ments can be grouped to be de signed to have the same sec tion.
In the check pro cess the pro gram pro duces de mand/ca pac ity ra tios for ax ial loadand bi ax ial mo ment in ter ac tions and shear. The de mand/ca pac ity ra tios are basedon ele ment stress and al low able stress for al low able stress de sign, and on fac toredloads (ac tions) and fac tored ca paci ties (re sis tances) for limit state de sign.
The checks are made for each user speci fied (or pro gram de faulted) load com bi na -tion and at sev eral user con trolled sta tions along the length of the ele ment. Maxi -mum de mand/ca pac ity ra tios are then re ported and/or used for de sign op ti mi za tion.
All al low able stress val ues or de sign ca pac ity val ues for ax ial, bend ing and shearac tions are cal cu lated by the pro gram. Te di ous cal cu la tions as so ci ated with evalu -at ing ef fec tive length fac tors for col umns in mo ment frame type struc tures are auto -mated in the al go rithms.
The pres en ta tion of the out put is clear and con cise. The in for ma tion is in a form that al lows the designer to take ap pro pri ate re me dial meas ures if there is mem ber over -stress. Backup de sign in for ma tion pro duced by the pro gram is also pro vided forcon ven ient veri fi ca tion of the re sults.
When us ing 1997 UBC-ASD or UBC-LRFD de sign codes, re quire ments for con ti -nu ity plates at the beam to col umn con nec tions are eval u ated. The pro gram per -forms a joint shear anal y sis to de ter mine if doubler plates are re quired in any of the

joint panel zones. Max i mum beam shears re quired for the beam shear con nec tionde sign are re ported. Also max i mum ax ial ten sion or com pres sion val ues that aregen er ated in the mem ber are re ported.
Spe cial 1997 UBC-ASD and UBC-LRFD seis mic de sign pro vi sions are im ple -mented in the cur rent ver sion of the pro gram. The ra tio of the beam flex ural ca pac i -ties with re spect to the col umn re duced flex ural ca pac i ties (re duced for ax ial forceef fect) as so ci ated with the weak beam-strong col umn as pect of any beam/col umnin ter sec tion, are re ported for spe cial mo ment re sist ing frames.

Design Load Combinations
The de sign load com bi na tions are used for de ter min ing the vari ous com bi na tions of the load cases for which the struc ture needs to be de signed/checked. The load com -bi na tion fac tors to be used vary with the se lected de sign code. The load com bi na -tion fac tors are ap plied to the forces and mo ments ob tained from the as so ci ated
6 Design Load Combinations
CSI Steel Design Manual
load cases and the re sults are then summed to ob tain the fac tored de sign forces andmo ments for the load com bi na tion.
For multi- valued load com bi na tions in volv ing re sponse spec trum, time his tory,mov ing loads and multi- valued com bi na tions (of type en vel op ing, square- root ofthe sum of the squares or ab so lute) where any cor re spon dence be tween in ter act ingquan ti ties is lost, the pro gram auto mati cally pro duces mul ti ple sub com bi na tionsus ing maxima/min ima per mu ta tions of in ter act ing quan ti ties. Sepa rate com bi na -tions with nega tive fac tors for re sponse spec trum cases are not re quired be cause the pro gram auto mati cally takes the min ima to be the nega tive of the maxima for re -sponse spec trum cases and the above de scribed per mu ta tions gen er ate the re quiredsub com bi na tions.
When a de sign com bi na tion in volves only a sin gle multi- valued case of time his -tory or mov ing load, fur ther op tions are avail able. The pro gram has an op tion to re -quest that time his tory com bi na tions pro duce sub com bi na tions for each time stepof the time his tory. Also an op tion is avail able to re quest that mov ing load com bi -na tions pro duce sub com bi na tions us ing maxima and min ima of each de sign quan -tity but with cor re spond ing val ues of in ter act ing quan ti ties.
For nor mal load ing con di tions in volv ing static dead load, live load, wind load, andearth quake load, and/or dy namic re sponse spec trum earth quake load, the pro gramhas built- in de fault load ing com bi na tions for each de sign code. These are based onthe code rec om men da tions and are docu mented for each code in the cor re spond ingchap ters.
For other load ing con di tions in volv ing mov ing load, time his tory, pat tern liveloads, sepa rate con sid era tion of roof live load, snow load, etc., the user must de finede sign load ing com bi na tions ei ther in lieu of or in ad di tion to the de fault de signload ing com bi na tions.
The de fault load com bi na tions as sume all static load cases de clared as dead load tobe ad di tive. Simi larly, all cases de clared as live load are as sumed ad di tive. How -ever, each static load case de clared as wind or earth quake, or re sponse spec trumcases, is as sumed to be non ad di tive with each other and pro duces mul ti ple lat eralload com bi na tions. Also wind and static earth quake cases pro duce sepa rate load ing com bi na tions with the sense (posi tive or nega tive) re versed. If these con di tions arenot cor rect, the user must pro vide the ap pro pri ate de sign com bi na tions.
The de fault load com bi na tions are in cluded in de sign if the user re quests them to bein cluded or if no other user de fined com bi na tion is avail able for con crete de sign. Ifany de fault com bi na tion is in cluded in de sign, then all de fault com bi na tions will

auto mati cally be up dated by the pro gram any time the user changes to a dif fer entde sign code or if static or re sponse spec trum load cases are modi fied.
Live load re duc tion fac tors can be ap plied to the mem ber forces of the live load case on an element- by- element ba sis to re duce the con tri bu tion of the live load to thefac tored load ing.
The user is cau tioned that if mov ing load or time his tory re sults are not re quested to be re cov ered in the analy sis for some or all the frame mem bers, then the ef fects ofthese loads will be as sumed to be zero in any com bi na tion that in cludes them.
Design and Check Stations
For each load com bi na tion, each el e ment is de signed or checked at a num ber of lo -ca tions along the length of the el e ment. The lo ca tions are based on equally spacedseg ments along the clear length of the el e ment. The num ber of seg ments in an el e -ment is re quested by the user be fore the anal y sis is made. The user can re fine thede sign along the length of an el e ment by re quest ing more seg ments.
The ax ial-flexure interaction ra tios as well as shear stress ra tios are cal cu lated foreach sta tion along the length of the mem ber for each load com bi na tion. The ac tualmem ber stress com po nents and cor re spond ing al low able stresses are cal cu lated.Then, the stress ra tios are evalu ated ac cord ing to the code. The con trol ling com -pres sion and/or ten sion stress ra tio is then ob tained, along with the cor re spond ingiden ti fi ca tion of the sta tion, load com bi na tion, and code- equation. A stress ra tiogreater than 1.0 in di cates an over stress or ex ceed ing a limit state.
P-D Effects
The program de sign al go rithms re quire that the analy sis re sults in clude the P-D ef -fects. The P-D ef fects are con sid ered dif fer ently for “braced” or “non sway” and“un braced” or “sway” com po nents of mo ments in frames. For the braced mo mentsin frames, the ef fect of P-D is lim ited to “in di vid ual mem ber sta bil ity”. For un -braced com po nents, “lat eral drift ef fects” should be con sid ered in ad di tion to in di -vid ual mem ber sta bil ity ef fect. In the program, it is as sumed that “braced” or “non -sway” mo ments are con trib uted from the “dead” or “live” loads. Whereas, “un -braced” or “sway” mo ments are con trib uted from all other types of loads.
For the in di vid ual mem ber sta bil ity ef fects, the mo ments are mag ni fied with mo -ment mag ni fi ca tion fac tors as in the AISC-LRFD code is con sid ered di rectly in thede sign equa tions as in the Ca na dian, Brit ish, and Eu ro pean codes. No mo mentmag ni fi ca tion is ap plied to the AISC-ASD code.

For lat eral drift ef fects of un braced or sway frames, the program as sumes that theam pli fi ca tion is al ready in cluded in the re sults be cause P-D ef fects are con sid eredfor all but AISC- ASD code.
The us ers of the pro gram should be aware that the de fault anal y sis op tion in theprogram is turned OFF for P-D ef fect. The de fault number of it era tions for P-Danaly sis is 1. The user should turn the P-D analy sis ON and set the maxi mumnumber of it era tions for the analy sis. No P-D analy sis is re quired for the AISC- ASD code. For fur ther ref er ence, the user is re ferred to CSI Analy sis Ref er enceMan ual (CSI 2005).
Element Unsupported Lengths
To ac count for col umn slen der ness ef fects, the col umn un sup ported lengths are re -quired. The two un sup ported lengths are l33 and l22 . See Figure II-1. These are thelengths be tween sup port points of the ele ment in the cor re spond ing di rec tions. Thelength l33 cor re sponds to in sta bil ity about the 3-3 axis (ma jor axis), and l22 cor re -sponds to in sta bil ity about the 2-2 axis (mi nor axis). The length l22 is also used forlateral- torsional buck ling caused by ma jor di rec tion bend ing (i.e., about the 3-3axis). See Figure II-2 for cor re spon dence be tween the program axes and the axes inthe de sign codes.
Normally, the un sup ported el e ment length is equal to the length of the el e ment, i.e., the dis tance be tween END-I and END-J of the el e ment. See Figure II-1. The pro -gram, how ever, al lows us ers to as sign sev eral el e ments to be treated as a sin glemem ber for de sign. This can be done dif fer ently for ma jor and mi nor bend ing. There fore, ex tra ne ous joints, as shown in Figure II-3, that af fect the un sup portedlength of an el e ment are au to mat i cally taken into con sid er ation.

Chapter II Design Algorithms
In de ter min ing the val ues for l22 and l33 of the el e ments, the pro gram rec og nizesvar i ous as pects of the struc ture that have an ef fect on these lengths, such as mem ber con nec tiv ity, di a phragm con straints and sup port points. The pro gram au to mat i -cally lo cates the el e ment sup port points and eval u ates the cor re spond ing un sup -ported el e ment length.
There fore, the un sup ported length of a col umn may ac tu ally be eval u ated as be inggreater than the cor re spond ing el e ment length. If the beam frames into only one di -rec tion of the col umn, the beam is as sumed to give lat eral sup port only in that di rec -tion. The user has op tions to spec ify the un sup ported lengths of the el e ments on anel e ment-by-el e ment ba sis.

Check/Design for AISC-ASD01
This chap ter de scribes the de tails of the struc tural steel de sign and stress check al -go rithms that are used by the program when the user se lects the AISC-ASD01 de -sign code (AISC 2001). Var i ous no ta tions used in this chap ter are de scribed inTable IV-1.
For re fer ring to per ti nent sec tions and equa tions of the origi nal ASD code, a uniquepre fix “ASD” is as signed. However, all ref er ences to the “Speci fi ca tions for Al -low able Stress De sign of Single- Angle Mem bers” carry the pre fix of “ASD SAM”.
The de sign is based on user- specified load ing com bi na tions. But the pro gram pro -vides a set of de fault load com bi na tions that should sat isfy re quire ments for the de -sign of most build ing type struc tures.
In the evalua tion of the ax ial force/bi ax ial mo ment ca pac ity ra tios at a sta tion alongthe length of the mem ber, first the ac tual mem ber force/mo ment com po nents andthe cor re spond ing ca paci ties are cal cu lated for each load com bi na tion. Then the ca -pac ity ra tios are evalu ated at each sta tion un der the in flu ence of all load com bi na -tions us ing the cor re spond ing equa tions that are de fined in this chapter. The con -trol ling ca pac ity ra tio is then ob tained. A ca pac ity ra tio greater than 1.0 in di catesover stress. Simi larly, a shear ca pac ity ra tio is also cal cu lated sepa rately.

Design Loading Combinations
The de sign load com bi na tions are the vari ous com bi na tions of the load cases forwhich the struc ture needs to be checked. For the AISC-ASD01 code, if a struc tureis sub jected to dead load (DL), live load (LL), wind load (WL), and earth quake in -duced load (EL), and con sid er ing that wind and earth quake forces are re versi ble,then the fol low ing load com bi na tions may have to be de fined (ASD A4). The DLmultiplier and r fac tors are spec i fied in ASCE 7-02:
1.0 DL (ASCE 2.4.1-1)1.0 DL + 1.0 LL (ASCE 2.4.1-2)
1.0 DL ± 1.0 WL (ASCE 2.4.1-5)0.6 DL ± 1.0 WL (ASCE 2.4.1-7)1.0 DL + 0.75 (1.0 LL ± 1.0 WL) (ASCE 2.4.1-6)
1.0 DL (0.6 - 0.7 DLmultiplier ) ± 0.7 r EL (ASCE 2.4.1-8)
1.0 DL (1 + 0.7 DLmultiplier ) ± 1.0 r EL (ASCE 2.4.1-5)
1.0 DL + 0.75 (0.7 DLmultiplier + 1.0 LL ± 0.7 r EL) (ASCE 2.4.1-6)
It is noted here that when ever spe cial seis mic load ing com bi na tions are re quiredby the code for spe cial cir cum stances, the pro gram au to mat i cally gen er ates thoseload com bi na tions in ter nally. The fol low ing ad di tional seis mic load com bi na tionsare fre quently checked for spe cific types of mem bers and spe cial cir cum stances.
(0.9-0.2SDS) DL ± W 0 EL (ASCE 9.5.2.7.1, 2.3, LRFD SEIS MIC 4.1)
(1.2 + 0.2SSDS) DL + 1.0 LL ± W 0 EL
where, W 0 is the seis mic force am pli fi ca tion fac tor which is re quired to ac count forstruc tural overstrength. The de fault value of W 0 is taken as 3.0 in the pro gram. Ifthe user de fines one or more auto-seis mic loads, then the value of W 0 de fined foreach auto-seis mic load cases. Also if spe cial seis mic data is de fined by the user, the user spec i fies an W 0 value, and the user re quests the pro gram to in clude the spe cialseis mic de sign data, then the user spec i fied W 0 takes pre ce dence over the de fault

When de sign ing for com bi na tions in volv ing earth quake and Wind loads, al low able stresses are NOT in creased by the 4/3 fac tor per the ASD Sup ple ment No. 1 whichref er ences ASCE7. For seis mic com bi na tions, the al low able stresses are in creasedby 1.7 fac tor in ac cor dance with ANSI/AISC 341 Seis mic Sec tion 4.2.
Live load re duc tion fac tors can be ap plied to the mem ber forces of the live load case on an element- by- element ba sis to re duce the con tri bu tion of the live load to thefac tored load ing.
Classification of Sections
The al low able stresses for ax ial com pres sion and flex ure are de pend ent upon theclas si fi ca tion of sec tions as ei ther Com pact, Non compact, Slen der, or Too Slen der.The program clas si fies the in di vid ual mem bers ac cord ing to the lim it ingwidth/thick ness ra tios given in Table III-2 (ASD B5.1, F3.1, F5, G1, A-B5-2). Thedefi ni tion of the sec tion prop er ties re quired in this ta ble is given in Figure III-1 andTable III-1.
If the sec tion di men sions sat isfy the lim its shown in the ta ble, the sec tion is clas si -fied as ei ther Com pact, Non com pact, or Slen der. If the sec tion sat is fies the cri te riafor Com pact sec tions, then the sec tion is clas si fied as Com pact sec tion. If the sec -tion does not sat is fy the cri te ria for Com pact sec tions but sat is fies the cri te ria forNon com pact sec tions, the sec tion is clas si fied as Noncom pact sec tion. If the sec -tion does not satisfy the cri te ria for Com pact and Non com pact sec tions but sat is fiesthe cri te ria for Slen der sec tions, the sec tion is clas si fied as Slender sec tion. If thelim its for Slen der sec tions are not met, the sec tion is clas si fied as Too Slen der.Stress check of Too Slen der sec tions is be yond the scope of the program.
In gen eral the de sign sec tions need not nec es sar ily be Com pact to sat isfyANSI/AISC 341-02 codes. How ever, for cer tain spe cial seis mic cases they have tobe Com pact and have to sat isfy spe cial slen der ness re quire ments. See sub sec tion“Seis mic Re quire ments” later in this man ual. The sec tions which do sat isfy thesead di tional re quire ments are clas si fied and re ported as “SEIS MIC” in the pro gram.These spe cial re quire ments for clas si fy ing the sec tions as “SEIS MIC” in the pro -gram are given in Table III-3 (ANSI/AISC 341SEISMIC 8.2, Ta ble I-8-1). If thesecri te ria are not sat is fied, when the code re quires them to be sat is fied, the user mustmod ify the sec tion prop erty. In this case the pro gram gives an er ror mes sage in theout put file.

Special Seismic Provisions of Member Design
When us ing the AISC-ASD01 op tion, the fol low ing Fram ing Sys tems are rec og -nized (ANSI/AISC 341 SEIS MIC 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15):

• In ter me di ate Mo ment Frame (IMF)
• Spe cial Mo ment Frame (SMF)
• Or di nary Con cen tri cally Braced Frame (OCBF)
• Spe cial Con cen tri cally Braced Frame (SCBF)
• Ec cen tri cally Braced Frame (EBF)
• Spe cial Truss Mo ment Frame (STMF)
By de fault the frame type is taken as Spe cial Mo ment-Re sist ing Frame (SMRF) inthe pro gram. How ever, the frame type can be over writ ten in the Pref er ence form tochange the de fault and in the Overwrites form on a mem ber by mem ber ba sis. If any mem ber is as signed with a frame type, the change of the frame type in the Pref er -ence will not mod ify the frame type of the in di vid ual mem ber for which it is as -signed. Cur rently the pro gram does not ap ply any spe cial re quire ment for STMF.
The spe cial seis mic re quire ments checked by the pro gram for mem ber de sign arede pend ent on the type of fram ing used and are de scribed be low for each type offram ing. Thus spe cial pro vi sions for build ings are only ap plied if the build ingframe is clas si fied as seis mic de sign cat e gory (SDC) D or E. (ANSI/AISC 341SEIS MIC 1). No spe cial re quire ment is checked for frames with seis mic de signcat e gory A, B, or C.

The con trol ling link beam nom i nal shear strength and the cor -re spond ing forces are ob tained by the pro cess de scribed above.
Note: Ax ial forces in the beams are in cluded in check ing the beams. The user is re -minded that us ing a rigid di a phragm model will re sult in zero ax ial forces in thebeams. The user must dis con nect some of the col umn lines from the di a phragm toal low beams to carry ax ial loads. It is rec om mended that only one col umn line perec cen tri cally braced frame be con nected to the rigid di a phragm or a flex i ble di a -phragm model be used.
Calculation of Stresses
The stresses are cal cu lated at each of the pre vi ously de fined sta tions. The mem berstresses for non- slender sec tions that are cal cu lated for each load com bi na tion are,in gen eral, based on the gross cross- sectional prop er ties.:
f = P/Aa
f = M /Sb33 33 33
f = M /Sb22 22 22
f = V /Av v2 2 2
f = V /Av v3 3 3
32 Calculation of Stresses
CSI Steel Design Manual
If the sec tion is slen der with slen der stiff ened ele ments, like slen der web in I, Chan -nel, and Box sec tions or slen der flanges in Box, ef fec tive sec tion moduli based onre duced web and re duced flange di men sions are used in cal cu lat ing stresses.
f = P/Aa (ASD A-B5.2d)f = M /Sb eff33 33 33, (ASD A-B5.2d)f = M /Sb eff22 22 22, (ASD A-B5.2d)f = V /Av v2 2 2 (ASD A-B5.2d)f = V /Av v3 3 3 (ASD A-B5.2d)
The flexural stresses are cal cu lated based on the prop er ties about the principal axes. For I, Box, Chan nel, T, Dou ble-an gle, Pipe, Cir cu lar and Rec tan gu lar sec tions, theprin ci pal axes co in cide with the geo met ric axes. For Single- angle sec tions, the de -sign con sid ers the prin ci pal properties. For gen eral sec tions it is as sumed that allsec tion prop er ties are given in terms of the prin ci pal di rec tions.
For Single- angle sec tions, the shear stresses are cal cu lated for di rec tions along thegeo met ric axes. For all other sec tions the shear stresses are cal cu lated along thegeo met ric and prin ci ple axes.
Calculation of Allowable Stresses
The al low able stresses in com pres sion, ten sion, bend ing, and shear are com putedfor Com pact, Non com pact, and Slen der sec tions ac cord ing to the fol low ing sub -sec tions. The al low able flexural stresses for all shapes of sec tions are cal cu latedbased on their prin ci pal axes of bend ing. For the I, Box, Chan nel, Cir cu lar, Pipe, T,Dou ble-an gle and Rec tan gu lar sec tions, the prin ci pal axes co in cide with their geo -met ric axes. For the An gle sec tions, the prin ci pal axes are de ter mined and all com -pu ta tions re lated to flex ural stresses are based on that.
If the user speci fies nonz ero al low able stresses for one or more ele ments in the de -sign over write form, these val ues will over ride the above men tioned cal cu latedval ues for those ele ments as de fined in the fol low ing sub sec tions. The speci fied al -low able stresses should be based on the prin ci pal axes of bend ing.

In the calculation of the ax ial and bend ing stress ca pac ity ra tios, first, for each sta -tion along the length of the mem ber, the ac tual stresses are cal cu lated for each loadcom bi na tion. Then the cor re spond ing al low able stresses are calculated. Then, theca pac ity ra tios are calculated at each sta tion for each mem ber un der the in flu ence of each of the de sign load com bi na tions. The con trol ling ca pac ity ra tio is then ob -tained, along with the as so ci ated sta tion and load com bi na tion. A ca pac ity ra tiogreater than 1.0 in di cates an overstress.

Joint Design
When us ing AISC-ASD01 de sign code, the struc tural joints are checked and/or de -signed for the fol low ing:
• Check for the re quire ment of con ti nu ity plate and de ter mi na tion of its area
• Check for the re quire ment of doubler plate and de ter mi na tion of its thick ness
• Check for the ra tio of beam flex ural strength to col umn flex ural strength
• Re port ing the beam con nec tion shear
• Re port ing the brace con nec tion force
De sign of Con ti nu ity Plates
In a plan view of a beam/col umn con nec tion, a steel beam can frame into a col umnin the fol low ing ways:
• The steel beam frames in a di rec tion par al lel to the col umn ma jor di rec tion, i.e.the beam frames into the col umn flange.
• The steel beam frames in a di rec tion par al lel to the col umn mi nor di rec tion, i.e.the beam frames into the col umn web.
• The steel beam frames in a di rec tion that is at an an gle to both of the prin ci palaxes of the col umn, i.e. the beam frames par tially into the col umn web and par -tially into the col umn flange.
To achieve a proper beam/col umn mo ment con nec tion strength, con ti nu ity platessuch as shown in are usu ally placed on the col umn, in line with the top and bot tomflanges of the beam, to trans fer the com pres sion and ten sion flange forces of thebeam into the col umn.
For con nec tion con di tions de scribed in the last two steps above, the thick ness ofsuch plates is usu ally set equal to the flange thick ness of the cor re spond ing beam.How ever, for the con nec tion con di tion de scribed by the first step above, where thebeam frames into the flange of the col umn, such con ti nu ity plates are not al waysneeded. The re quire ment de pends upon the mag ni tude of the beam-flange forceand the prop er ties of the col umn. This is the con di tion that the pro gram in ves ti -gates. Col umns of I-sec tions only are in ves ti gated. The pro gram eval u ates the con -ti nu ity plate re quire ments for each of the beams that frame into the col umn flange(i.e. par al lel to the col umn ma jor di rec tion) and re ports the max i mum con ti nu ityplate area that is needed for each beam flange. The con ti nu ity plate re quire ments

De sign of Dou bler Plates
One as pect of the de sign of a steel fram ing sys tem is an eval u a tion of the shearforces that ex ist in the re gion of the beam col umn in ter sec tion known as the panelzone.
Shear stresses sel dom con trol the de sign of a beam or col umn mem ber. How ever,in a Mo ment-Re sist ing frame, the shear stress in the beam-col umn joint can be crit i -cal, es pe cially in fram ing sys tems when the col umn is sub jected to ma jor di rec tionbend ing and the joint shear forces are re sisted by the web of the col umn. In mi nordi rec tion bend ing, the joint shear is car ried by the col umn flanges, in which case the shear stresses are sel dom crit i cal, and this con di tion is there fore not in ves ti gated bythe pro gram.
Shear stresses in the panel zone, due to ma jor di rec tion bend ing in the col umn, mayre quire ad di tional plates to be welded onto the col umn web, de pend ing upon theload ing and the ge om e try of the steel beams that frame into the col umn, ei theralong the col umn ma jor di rec tion, or at an an gle so that the beams have com po nents along the col umn ma jor di rec tion. See Fig ure . The pro gram in ves ti gates such sit u -a tions and re ports the thick ness of any re quired doubler plates. Only col umns withI-shapes are in ves ti gated for doubler plate re quire ments. Also doubler plate re -quire ments are eval u ated for mo ment frames (OMF, IMF, SMF) only. No check ismade for braced frames(OCBF, SCBF, EBF).

This chap ter de scribes the de tails of the struc tural steel de sign and stress check al -go rithms that are used by the pro gram when the user se lects the AISC- ASD89 de -sign code (AISC 1989). Vari ous no ta tions used in this chap ter are de scribed inTable III-1.
For re fer ring to per ti nent sec tions and equa tions of the origi nal ASD code, a uniquepre fix “ASD” is as signed. However, all ref er ences to the “Speci fi ca tions for Al -low able Stress De sign of Single- Angle Mem bers” carry the pre fix of “ASD SAM”.
The de sign is based on user- specified load ing com bi na tions. But the pro gram pro -vides a set of de fault load com bi na tions that should sat isfy re quire ments for the de -sign of most build ing type struc tures.
In the evalua tion of the ax ial force/bi ax ial mo ment ca pac ity ra tios at a sta tion alongthe length of the mem ber, first the ac tual mem ber force/mo ment com po nents andthe cor re spond ing ca paci ties are cal cu lated for each load com bi na tion.

Design Loading Combinations
The de sign load com bi na tions are the vari ous com bi na tions of the load cases forwhich the struc ture needs to be checked. For the AISC- ASD89 code, if a struc tureis sub jected to dead load (DL), live load (LL), wind load (WL), and earth quake in -duced load (EL), and con sid er ing that wind and earth quake forces are re versi ble,then the fol low ing load com bi na tions may have to be de fined (ASD A4):
DL (ASD A4.1)DL + LL (ASD A4.1)
DL ± WL (ASD A4.1)DL + LL ± WL (ASD A4.1)
DL ± EL (ASD A4.1)DL + LL ± EL (ASD A4.1)
These are also the de fault de sign load com bi na tions in the pro gram when ever theAISC-ASD89 code is used. The user should use other ap pro pri ate load ing com bi -na tions if roof live load is sepa rately treated, if other types of loads are pres ent, or if pat tern live loads are to be con sid ered.
When de sign ing for com bi na tions in volv ing earth quake and wind loads, al low ablestresses are in creased by a fac tor of 4/3 of the regu lar al low able value (ASD A5.2).
Live load re duc tion fac tors can be ap plied to the mem ber forces of the live load case on an element- by- element ba sis to re duce the con tri bu tion of the live load to thefac tored load ing.
Classification of Sections
The al low able stresses for ax ial com pres sion and flex ure are de pend ent upon theclas si fi ca tion of sec tions as ei ther Com pact, Non compact, Slen der, or Too Slen der.The pro gram clas si fies the in di vid ual mem bers ac cord ing to the lim it ingwidth/thick ness ra tios given in Table III-2 (ASD B5.1, F3.1, F5, G1, A-B5-2).

the cri te ria for Slen der sec tions, the sec tion is clas si fied as Slender sec tion. If thelim its for Slen der sec tions are not met, the sec tion is clas si fied as Too Slen der.Stress check of Too Slen der sec tions is be yond the scope of SAP2000.
In clas si fy ing web slen der ness of I-shapes, Box, and Chan nel sec tions, it is as -sumed that there are no in ter me di ate stiff en ers (ASD F5, G1). Dou ble an gles arecon ser va tively as sumed to be sepa rated.
Calculation of Stresses
The stresses are cal cu lated at each of the pre vi ously de fined sta tions. The mem berstresses for non- slender sec tions that are cal cu lated for each load com bi na tion are,in gen eral, based on the gross cross- sectional prop er ties.:
f = P/Aa
f = M /Sb33 33 33
f = M /Sb22 22 22
f = V /Av v2 2 2
f = V /Av v3 3 3
If the sec tion is slen der with slen der stiff ened ele ments, like slen der web in I, Chan -nel, and Box sec tions or slen der flanges in Box, ef fec tive sec tion moduli based onre duced web and re duced flange di men sions are used in cal cu lat ing stresses.
f = P/Aa (ASD A-B5.2d)f = M /Sb eff33 33 33, (ASD A-B5.2d)f = M /Sb eff22 22 22, (ASD A-B5.2d)f = V /Av v2 2 2 (ASD A-B5.2d)f = V /Av v3 3 3 (ASD A-B5.2d)
The flexural stresses are cal cu lated based on the prop er ties about the principal axes. For I, Box, Chan nel, T, Dou ble-an gle, Pipe, Cir cu lar and Rec tan gu lar sec tions, theprin ci pal axes co in cide with the geo met ric axes. For Single- angle sec tions, the de -sign con sid ers the prin ci pal properties. For gen eral sec tions it is as sumed that allsec tion prop er ties are given in terms of the prin ci pal di rec tions.
For Single- angle sec tions, the shear stresses are cal cu lated for di rec tions along thegeo met ric axes. For all other sec tions the shear stresses are cal cu lated along thegeo met ric and prin ci ple axes.

CSI Steel Design Manual
Calculation of Allowable Stresses
The al low able stresses in com pres sion, ten sion, bend ing, and shear are com putedfor Com pact, Non com pact, and Slen der sec tions ac cord ing to the fol low ing sub -sec tions. The al low able flexural stresses for all shapes of sec tions are cal cu latedbased on their prin ci pal axes of bend ing. For the I, Box, Chan nel, Cir cu lar, Pipe, T,Dou ble-an gle and Rec tan gu lar sec tions, the prin ci pal axes co in cide with their geo -met ric axes. For the An gle sec tions, the prin ci pal axes are de ter mined and all com -pu ta tions re lated to flex ural stresses are based on that.
If the user speci fies nonz ero al low able stresses for one or more ele ments in the pro -gram “Overwrites Ele ment De sign Data” form, these val ues will over ride theabove men tioned cal cu lated val ues for those ele ments as de fined in the fol low ingsub sec tions. The speci fied al low able stresses should be based on the prin ci pal axes of bend ing.
Allowable Stress in Tension
The al low able ax ial ten sile stress value Fa is as sumed to be 0.60 Fy .
F = Fa y0.6 (ASD D1, ASD SAM 2)
It should be noted that net sec tion checks are not made. For mem bers in ten sion, if l r is greater than 300, a mes sage to that ef fect is printed (ASD B7, ASD SAM 2).For sin gle an gles, the mini mum radius of gy ra tion, rz , is used in stead of r22 and r33

Allowable Stress in Compression
The al low able ax ial com pres sive stress is the minimum value ob tained from flex -ural buck ling and flexural- torsional buck ling. The al low able com pres sive stressesare de ter mined ac cord ing to the fol low ing sub sec tions.
For mem bers in com pres sion, if Kl r is greater than 200, a warn ing mes sage isprinted (ASD B7, ASD SAM 4). For sin gle an gles, the mini mum radius of gy ra -tion, rz , is used in stead of r22 and r33 in com put ing Kl r .

The de sign load com bi na tions are the var i ous com bi na tions of the load cases forwhich the struc ture needs to be checked. For the AISC-LRFD99 code, if a struc ture is sub jected to dead load (DL), live load (LL), wind load (WL), and earth quake in -duced load (EL), and con sid er ing that wind and earth quake forces are re vers ible,then the fol low ing load com bi na tions may have to be de fined (LRFD A4, ASCE
7-02 2.3.2). The DLmultiplier and r fac tors are spec i fied in ASCE 7-02:
1.4 DL (ASCE 2.3.2-1)1.2 DL + 1.6 LL (ASCE 2.3.2-2)
0.9 DL ± 1.6 WL (ASCE 2.3.2-6)1.2 DL ± 0.8 WL (ASCE 2.3.2-3)1.2 DL + 1.0 LL ± 1.6 WL (ASCE 2.3.2-4)
0.9(1-DLmultiplier ) ± 1.0 r EL (ASCE 2.3.2-7)
1.2(1+DLmultiplier ) ± 1.0 r EL (ASCE 2.3.2-5)
1.2(1+DLmultiplier ) + 1.0 LL ± 1.0 r EL (ASCE 2.3.2-5)
These are also the de fault de sign load com bi na tions in the pro gram when ever theAISC-LRFD99 code is used. The user should use other ap pro pri ate load ing com bi -na tions if roof live load is sepa rately treated, if other types of loads are pres ent, or if pat tern live loads are to be con sid ered.

It is noted here that when ever spe cial seis mic load ing com bi na tions are re quiredby the code for spe cial cir cum stances, the pro gram au to mat i cally gen er ates thoseload com bi na tions in ter nally. The fol low ing ad di tional seis mic load com bi na tionsare fre quently checked for spe cific types of mem bers and spe cial cir cum stances.
(0.9-0.2SDS) DL ± W 0 EL (ASCE 9.5.2.7.1, 2.3, LRFD SEIS MIC 4.1)
(1.2 + 0.2SSDS) DL + 1.0 LL ± W 0 EL
(ASCE 9.5.2.7.1, 2.3.2, LRFD SEIS MIC 4.1)
where, W 0 is the seis mic force am pli fi ca tion fac tor which is re quired to ac count forstruc tural overstrength. The de fault value of W 0 is taken as 3.0 in the pro gram. Ifthe user de fines one or more auto-seis mic loads, then the value of W 0 de fined foreach auto-seis mic load cases. Also if spe cial seis mic data is de fined by the user, the user spec i fies an W 0 value, and the user re quests the pro gram to in clude the spe cialseis mic de sign data, then the user spec i fied W 0 takes pre ce dence over the de faultval ues and those de fined for the auto-seis mic load cases. More over, W 0 can beover writ ten for each in di vid ual mem ber. The over writ ten W 0 gets the high est pre -ce dence. The guide lines for se lect ing a rea son able value for W 0 can be found inLRFD SEIS MIC sec tion 4.1 and Ta ble I-4-1.
These above com bi na tions are in ter nal to the pro gram. The user does NOT need tocre ate ad di tional load com bi na tions for these load com bi na tions. The spe cial cir -cum stances for which these load com bi na tions are ad di tion ally checked are de -scribed later in this chap ter as ap pro pri ate. The spe cial load ing com bi na tion fac torsare ap plied di rectly to the pro gram load cases. It is as sumed that any re quired scal -ing (such as may be re quired to scale re sponse spec tra re sults) has al ready been ap -plied to the pro gram load cases.
Live load re duc tion fac tors can be ap plied to the mem ber forces of the live load case on an element- by- element ba sis to re duce the con tri bu tion of the live load to thefac tored load ing.
When us ing the AISC-LRFD99 code, the pro gram design as sumes that a P-Danaly sis has been per formed so that mo ment mag ni fi ca tion fac tors for mo mentscaus ing sidesway can be taken as unity. It is recommended that the P-D analy sis bedone at the fac tored load level of 1.2 DL plus 1.0 LL (White and Hajjar 1991).

Pro gram clas si fies in di vid ual mem bers ac cord ing to the lim it ingwidth/thick ness ra tios given in Table V-2, and Table III-3 (LRFD B5.1, A-G1, Ta -ble A-F1.1, LRFD SEIS MIC Ta ble I-8-1, HSS Ta ble 2.2-1). The def i ni tion of thesec tion prop er ties re quired in these ta bles is given in Figure V-1 and Table V-1.More over, spe cial con sid er ations are re quired re gard ing the lim its of width-thick -ness ra tios for Com pact sec tions in Seis mic zones and Noncompact sec tions withcom pres sive force as given in Table III-3. If the lim its for Slen der sec tions are notmet, the sec tion is clas si fied as Too Slen der. Stress check of Too Slen der sec tionsis be yond the scope of the pro gram.
In gen eral the de sign sec tions need not nec es sar ily be Com pact to sat isfyAISC-LRFD99 codes. How ever, for cer tain spe cial seis mic cases they have to beCom pact and have to sat isfy spe cial slen der ness re quire ments. See sub sec tion“Seis mic Re quire ments” later in this man ual. The sec tions which do sat isfy thesead di tional re quire ments are clas si fied and re ported as “SEIS MIC” in the pro gram.These spe cial re quire ments for clas si fy ing the sec tions as “SEIS MIC” in the pro -gram are given in Table III-3 (AISC SEIS MIC 8.2, Ta ble I-8-1). If these cri te ria are not sat is fied, when the code re quires them to be sat is fied, the user must mod ify thesec tion prop erty. In this case the pro gram gives an er ror mes sage in the out put file.
In clas si fy ing web slen der ness of I-shapes, Box, and Chan nel sec tions, it is as -sumed that there are no in ter me di ate stiff en ers. Dou ble an gles are con ser va tivelyas sumed to be sep a rated.
Calculation of Factored Forces
The fac tored mem ber loads that are cal cu lated for each load com bi na tion are Pu , M u33 , M u22 , Vu2 and Vu3 cor re spond ing to fac tored val ues of the ax ial load, the ma -jor mo ment, the mi nor mo ment, the ma jor di rec tion shear force and the mi nor di -rec tion shear force, re spec tively. These fac tored loads are cal cu lated at each of thepre vi ously de fined sta tions.
For load ing com bi na tions that cause com pres sion in the mem ber, the fac tored mo -ment M u (M u33 and M u22 in the cor re spond ing di rec tions) is mag ni fied to con sidersec ond or der ef fects. The mag ni fied mo ment in a par ticu lar di rec tion is given by:
M = B M + B Mu nt lt1 2 , where (LRFD C1-1, SAM 6)
B1 = Mo ment mag ni fi ca tion fac tor for non- sidesway mo ments,B2 = Mo ment mag ni fi ca tion fac tor for sidesway mo ments,M nt = Fac tored mo ments not caus ing sidesway, andM lt = Fac tored mo ments caus ing sidesway.

For sin gle an gle, the fac tored mo ments about the geo -met ric axes are trans formed to get the fac tored mo ments about the prin ci palaxes for com put ing M Ma b . The pro gram de faults Cm to 1.0 if the un bracedlength fac tor, l, of the mem ber is re de fined by ei ther the user or the pro gram,i.e., if the un braced length is not equal to the length of the mem ber. The usercan over write the value of Cm for any mem ber. Cm as sumes two val ues, Cm22
and Cm33 , as so ci ated with the ma jor and mi nor di rec tions.
The mag ni fi ca tion fac tor B1 , must be a pos i tive num ber. There fore Pu must be lessthan Pe1 . If Pu is found to be greater than or equal to Pe1 , a fail ure con di tion is de -clared.
The pro gram design as sumes the analy sis in cludes P-D ef fects, there fore B2 istaken as unity for bend ing in both di rec tions. It is suggested that the P-D analy sis bedone at the fac tored load level of 1.2 DL plus 1.05 LL (LRFD C2.2). See also White and Hajjar (1991).
For sin gle an gles, where the prin ci pal axes of bend ing are not co in ci dent with thegeo met ric axes (2-2 and 3-3), the pro gram con ser va tively uses the max i mum of

Special Seismic Provisions of Member Design
When us ing the AISC-LRFD99 op tion, the fol low ing Fram ing Sys tems are rec og -nized (AISC SEIS MIC 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15):
• Or di nary Mo ment Frame (OMF)
• In ter me di ate Mo ment Frame (IMF)
• Spe cial Mo ment Frame (SMF)
• Or di nary Con cen tri cally Braced Frame (OCBF)
• Spe cial Con cen tri cally Braced Frame (SCBF)
• Ec cen tri cally Braced Frame (EBF)
• Spe cial Truss Mo ment Frame (STMF)
By de fault the frame type is taken as Spe cial Mo ment-Re sist ing Frame (SMRF) inthe pro gram. How ever, the frame type can be over writ ten in the Pref er ence form tochange the de fault and in the Overwrites form on a mem ber by mem ber ba sis. If any mem ber is as signed with a frame type, the change of the frame type in the Pref er -ence will not mod ify the frame type of the in di vid ual mem ber for which it is as -signed. Cur rently the pro gram does not ap ply any spe cial re quire ment for STMF.
The spe cial seis mic re quire ments checked by the pro gram for mem ber de sign arede pend ent on the type of fram ing used and are de scribed be low for each type offram ing. Thus spe cial pro vi sions for build ings are only ap plied if the build ingframe is clas si fied as seis mic de sign cat e gory (SDC) D or E. (AISC SEIS MIC 1). No spe cial re quire ment is checked for frames with seis mic de sign cat e gory A, B, orC.

Shear Stresses
Sim i larly to the nor mal stresses, from the fac tored shear force val ues and the nom i -nal shear strength val ues at each sta tion for each of the load com bi na tions, shear ca -pac ity ra tios for ma jor and mi nor di rec tions are cal cu lated as fol lows:

where j v = 0.9 .
For Sin gle-an gle sec tions, the shear stress ra tio is cal cu lated for di rec tions alongthe geo met ric axis. For all other sec tions the shear stress is cal cu lated along theprin ci ple axes which co in cide with the geo met ric axes. For pipe and cir cu lar sec -tions, an SRSS (Square Root of Sum of Squares) com bi na tion of the two shearcom po nents, are first made be fore cal cu lat ing the shear ra tios.
Joint Design
When us ing AISC-LRFD99 de sign code, the struc tural joints are checked and/orde signed for the fol low ing:
• Check for the re quire ment of con ti nu ity plate and de ter mi na tion of its area
• Check for the re quire ment of doubler plate and de ter mi na tion of its thick ness
• Check for the ra tio of beam flex ural strength to col umn flex ural strength
• Re port ing the beam con nec tion shear
• Re port ing the brace con nec tion force
De sign of Con ti nu ity Plates
In a plan view of a beam/col umn con nec tion, a steel beam can frame into a col umnin the fol low ing ways:
• The steel beam frames in a di rec tion par al lel to the col umn ma jor di rec tion, i.e.the beam frames into the col umn flange.
• The steel beam frames in a di rec tion par al lel to the col umn mi nor di rec tion, i.e.the beam frames into the col umn web.
136 Joint Design
CSI Steel Design Manual
• The steel beam frames in a di rec tion that is at an an gle to both of the prin ci palaxes of the col umn, i.e. the beam frames par tially into the col umn web and par -tially into the col umn flange.
To achieve a proper beam/col umn mo ment con nec tion strength, con ti nu ity platessuch as shown in are usu ally placed on the col umn, in line with the top and bot tomflanges of the beam, to trans fer the com pres sion and ten sion flange forces of thebeam into the col umn.
For con nec tion con di tions de scribed in the last two steps above, the thick ness ofsuch plates is usu ally set equal to the flange thick ness of the cor re spond ing beam.How ever, for the con nec tion con di tion de scribed by the first step above, where thebeam frames into the flange of the col umn, such con ti nu ity plates are not al waysneeded. The re quire ment de pends upon the mag ni tude of the beam-flange forceand the prop er ties of the col umn. This is the con di tion that the pro gram in ves ti -gates. Col umns of I-sec tions only are in ves ti gated. The pro gram eval u ates the con -ti nu ity plate re quire ments for each of the beams that frame into the col umn flange(i.e. par al lel to the col umn ma jor di rec tion) and re ports the max i mum con ti nu ityplate area that is needed for each beam flange. The con ti nu ity plate re quire mentsare eval u ated for mo ment frames (OMF, IMF, SMF) only. No check is made forbraced frames (OCBC, SCBF, EBF).
The pro gram first eval u ates the need for con ti nu ity plates. Con ti nu ity plates will be re quired if any of the fol low ing four con di tions are not sat is fied:
• The col umn flange de sign strength in bend ing must be larger than the beamflange force, i.e.,

jR t F Pn fc yc bc= ³( . )( . ) .0 5 0 9 6 25 2 if at top story (LRFD K1-2)

De sign of Dou bler Plates
One as pect of the de sign of a steel fram ing sys tem is an eval u a tion of the shearforces that ex ist in the re gion of the beam col umn in ter sec tion known as the panelzone.
Shear stresses sel dom con trol the de sign of a beam or col umn mem ber. How ever,in a Mo ment-Re sist ing frame, the shear stress in the beam-col umn joint can be crit i -cal, es pe cially in fram ing sys tems when the col umn is sub jected to ma jor di rec tionbend ing and the joint shear forces are re sisted by the web of the col umn. In mi nordi rec tion bend ing, the joint shear is car ried by the col umn flanges, in which case the shear stresses are sel dom crit i cal, and this con di tion is there fore not in ves ti gated bythe pro gram.
Shear stresses in the panel zone, due to ma jor di rec tion bend ing in the col umn, mayre quire ad di tional plates to be welded onto the col umn web, de pend ing upon theload ing and the ge om e try of the steel beams that frame into the col umn, ei theralong the col umn ma jor di rec tion, or at an an gle so that the beams have com po nents along the col umn ma jor di rec tion. See Figure . The pro gram in ves ti gates such sit u -a tions and re ports the thick ness of any re quired doubler plates. Only col umns withI-shapes are in ves ti gated for doubler plate re quire ments. Also doubler plate re -quire ments are eval u ated for mo ment frames (OMF, IMF, SMF) only. No check ismade for braced frames(OCBF, SCBF, EBF).

Check/Design for AISC-LRFD93
This chap ter de scribes the de tails of the struc tural steel de sign and stress check al -go rithms that are used by the pro gram when the user se lects the AISC- LRFD93 de -sign code (AISC 1994). Vari ous no ta tions used in this chap ter are de scribed inTable V-1.
For re fer ring to per ti nent sec tions and equa tions of the origi nal LRFD code, aunique pre fix “LRFD” is as signed. However, all ref er ences to the “Speci fi ca tionsfor Load and Resistance Fac tored De sign of Single- Angle Mem bers” carry the pre -fix of “LRFD SAM”.
The de sign is based on user- specified load ing com bi na tions. But the pro gram pro -vides a set of de fault load com bi na tions that should sat isfy re quire ments for the de -sign of most build ing type struc tures.
In the evalua tion of the ax ial force/bi ax ial mo ment ca pac ity ra tios at a sta tion alongthe length of the mem ber, first the ac tual mem ber force/mo ment com po nents andthe cor re spond ing ca paci ties are cal cu lated for each load com bi na tion. Then the ca -pac ity ra tios are evalu ated at each sta tion un der the in flu ence of all load com bi na -tions us ing the cor re spond ing equa tions that are de fined in this chapter. The con -trol ling ca pac ity ra tio is then ob tained. A ca pac ity ra tio greater than 1.0 in di catesex ceed ing a limit state. Simi larly, a shear ca pac ity ra tio is also cal cu lated sepa -rately.

Design Loading Combinations
The de sign load com bi na tions are the vari ous com bi na tions of the load cases forwhich the struc ture needs to be checked. For the AISC- LRFD93 code, if a struc ture is sub jected to dead load (DL), live load (LL), wind load (WL), and earth quake in -duced load (EL), and con sid er ing that wind and earth quake forces are re versi ble,then the fol low ing load com bi na tions may have to be de fined (LRFD A4.1):
1.4 DL (LRFD A4-1)1.2 DL + 1.6 LL (LRFD A4-2)
0.9 DL ± 1.3 WL (LRFD A4-6)1.2 DL ± 1.3 WL (LRFD A4-4)1.2 DL + 0.5 LL ± 1.3 WL (LRFD A4-4)
0.9 DL ± 1.0 EL (LRFD A4-6)1.2 DL ± 1.0 EL (LRFD A4-4)1.2 DL + 0.5 LL ± 1.0 EL (LRFD A4-4)
These are also the de fault de sign load com bi na tions in the pro gram when ever theAISC- LRFD93 code is used. The user should use other ap pro pri ate load ing com bi -na tions if roof live load is sepa rately treated, if other types of loads are pres ent, or if pat tern live loads are to be con sid ered.
Live load re duc tion fac tors can be ap plied to the mem ber forces of the live load case on an element- by- element ba sis to re duce the con tri bu tion of the live load to thefac tored load ing.
When us ing the AISC- LRFD93 code, the pro gram design as sumes that a P-Danaly sis has been per formed so that mo ment mag ni fi ca tion fac tors for mo mentscaus ing sidesway can be taken as unity. It is recommended that the P-D analy sis bedone at the fac tored load level of 1.2 DL plus 0.5 LL (White and Hajjar 1991).

Calculation of Factored Forces
The fac tored mem ber loads that are cal cu lated for each load com bi na tion are Pu , M u33 , M u22 , Vu2 and Vu3 cor re spond ing to fac tored val ues of the ax ial load, the ma -jor mo ment, the mi nor mo ment, the ma jor di rec tion shear force and the mi nor di -rec tion shear force, re spec tively. These fac tored loads are cal cu lated at each of thepre vi ously de fined sta tions.
For load ing com bi na tions that cause com pres sion in the mem ber, the fac tored mo -ment M u (M u33 and M u22 in the cor re spond ing di rec tions) is mag ni fied to con sidersec ond or der ef fects. The mag ni fied mo ment in a par ticu lar di rec tion is given by:

M Ma b is the ra tio of the smaller to the larger mo ment at the ends of the mem -ber, M Ma b be ing posi tive for dou ble cur va ture bend ing and nega tive for sin -gle cur va ture bend ing. For tension mem bers Cm is as sumed as 1.0. For com -pres sion mem bers with trans verse load on the mem ber, Cm is as sumed as 1.0for mem bers with any un re strained end and as 0.85 for mem bers with two un re -strained ends. When M b is zero, Cm is taken as 1.0. The pro gram de faults Cm to 1.0 if the un braced length factor, l, of the mem ber is re de fined by ei ther theuser or the pro gram, i.e., if the un braced length is not equal to the length of themem ber. The user can over write the value of Cm for any mem ber. Cm assumestwo val ues, Cm22 and Cm33 , as so ci ated with the ma jor and mi nor di rec tions.
The mag ni fi ca tion fac tor B1 , must be a posi tive number. There fore Pu must be lessthan Pe . If Pu is found to be greater than or equal to Pe , a fail ure con di tion is de -clared.
The pro gram de sign as sumes the anal y sis in cludes P-D ef fects, there fore B2 istaken as unity for bend ing in both di rec tions. It is sug gested that the P-D anal y sis bedone at the fac tored load level of 1.2 DL plus 0.5 LL (LRFD C2.2). See also Whiteand Hajjar (1991).
For sin gle an gles, where the prin ci pal axes of bend ing are not co in ci dent with thegeo met ric axes (2-2 and 3-3), the pro gram con ser va tively uses the maxi mum of K l22 22 and K l33 33 for de ter min ing the ma jor and mi nor di rec tion Euler buck ling ca -pac ity.
If the pro gram as sump tions are not satisfactory for a par ticu lar struc tural model ormem ber, the user has a choice of ex plic itly speci fy ing the val ues of B1 and B2 forany mem ber.

Calculation of Nominal Strengths
The nomi nal strengths in com pres sion, ten sion, bend ing, and shear are com putedfor Com pact, Non com pact, and Slen der sec tions ac cord ing to the fol low ing sub -sec tions. The nomi nal flex ural strengths for all shapes of sec tions are cal cu latedbased on their prin ci pal axes of bend ing. For the Rec tan gu lar, I, Box, Chan nel, Cir -cu lar, Pipe, T, and Double- angle sec tions, the prin ci pal axes co in cide with theirgeo met ric axes. For the An gle sec tions, the prin ci pal axes are de ter mined and allcom pu ta tions ex cept shear are based on that.
For Single- angle sec tions, the shear stresses are cal cu lated for di rec tions along thegeo met ric axes. For all other sec tions the shear stresses are cal cu lated along theirgeo met ric and prin ci ple axes.
The strength re duc tion fac tor, j , is taken as fol lows (LRFD A5.3):
j t = Re sis tance fac tor for ten sion, 0.9 (LRFD D1, H1, SAM 2, 6)j c = Re sis tance fac tor for com pres sion, 0.85 (LRFD E2, E3, H1)j c = Re sis tance fac tor for com pres sion in angles, 0.90 (LRFD SAM 4, 6)j b = Re sis tance fac tor for bend ing, 0.9 (LRFD F1, H1, A-F1, A-G2, SAM 5)j v = Re sis tance fac tor for shear, 0.9 (LRFD F2, A-F2, A-G3, SAM 3)
If the user speci fies nomi nal strengths for one or more ele ments in the“Overwrites” form, these val ues will over ride the above men tioned cal cu latedval ues for those ele ments as de fined in the fol low ing sub sec tions. The speci fiednomi nal strengths should be based on the prin ci pal axes of bending.
Compression Capacity
The nomi nal compression strength is the minimum value ob tained from flex uralbuck ling, tor sional buckling and flexural- torsional buck ling. The strengths are de -ter mined ac cord ing to the fol low ing sub sec tions.
For mem bers in com pres sion, if Kl r is greater than 200, a mes sage to that ef fect isprinted (LRFD B7, SAM 4). For sin gle an gles, the mini mum radius of gy ra tion, rz , is used in stead of r22 and r33 in com put ing Kl r .

Nominal Strength in Bending
The nominal bend ing strength de pends on the fol low ing cri te ria: the geo met ricshape of the cross- section, the axis of bend ing, the com pact ness of the sec tion, anda slen der ness pa rame ter for lateral- torsional buck ling. The nomi nal strengths for all shapes of sec tions are cal cu lated based on their prin ci pal axes of bend ing. For theRec tan gu lar, I, Box, Chan nel, Cir cu lar, Pipe, T, and Double- angle sec tions, theprin ci pal axes co in cide with their geo met ric axes. For the Sin gle An gle sec tions,the prin ci pal axes are de ter mined and all com pu ta tions re lated to flex ural strengthsare based on that. The nomi nal bend ing strength is the minimum value ob tained ac -cord ing to the limit states of yield ing, lateral- torsional buck ling, flange lo cal buck -ling, and web lo cal buck ling, as fol lows:

This chap ter de scribes the de tails of the struc tural steel de sign and stress check al -go rithms that are used by the pro gram when the user se lects the BS 5950-00 de signcode (BSI 2000). Vari ous no ta tions used in this chap ter are de scribed in TableVII-1.
The de sign is based on user- specified load ing com bi na tions. But the pro gram pro -vides a set of de fault load com bi na tions that should sat isfy re quire ments for the de -sign of most build ing type struc tures.
In the evalua tion of the ax ial force/bi ax ial mo ment ca pac ity ra tios at a sta tion alongthe length of the mem ber, first the ac tual mem ber force/mo ment com po nents andthe cor re spond ing ca paci ties are cal cu lated for each load com bi na tion.

Design Loading Combinations
The de sign load com bi na tions are the vari ous com bi na tions of the load cases forwhich the struc ture needs to be checked. Ac cord ing to the BS 5950-00 code, if astruc ture is sub jected to dead load (DL), live load (LL), wind load (WL), and earth -quake load (EL), and con sid er ing that wind and earth quake forces are re versi ble,then the fol low ing load com bi na tions may have to be con sid ered (BS 2.4):
1.4 DL1.4 DL + 1.6 LL (BS 2.4.1.1)
1.0 DL ± 1.4 WL 1.4 DL ± 1.4 WL 1.2 DL + 1.2 LL ± 1.2 WL (BS 2.4.1.1)
1.0 DL ± 1.4 EL 1.4 DL ± 1.4 EL 1.2 DL + 1.2 LL ± 1.2 EL
These are also the de fault de sign load com bi na tions when ever BS 5950-00 Code isused. The user should use other ap pro pri ate load ing com bi na tions if roof live loadis sepa rately treated, other types of loads are pres ent, or if pat tern live loads are tobe con sid ered.
Live load re duc tion fac tors can be ap plied to the mem ber forces of the live load case on an element- by- element ba sis to re duce the con tri bu tion of the live load to thefac tored load ing.
In ad di tion to the above load com bi na tions, the code re quires that all build ingsshould be ca pa ble of re sist ing a no tional de sign hori zon tal load ap plied at eachfloor or roof level. The no tional load should be equal to the maxi mum of 0.01 timesthe fac tored dead load and 0.005 times the fac tored dead plus live loads (BS 2.4.2.3and 2.3.2.4). The no tional forces should be as sumed to act in any one di rec tion at atime and should be taken as act ing si mul ta ne ously with the fac tored dead plus ver ti -cal im posed live loads. They should not be com bined with any other hori zon tal load cases (BS 5.1.2.4). It is rec om mended that the user should de fine ad di tional loadcases for con sid er ing the no tional load in the pro gram and de fine the ap pro pri atede sign com bi na tions.
When us ing the BS 5950-00 code, the pro gram de sign as sumes that a P-D analy sishas al ready been per formed, so that mo ment mag ni fi ca tion fac tors for the mo mentscausing side- sway can be taken as unity. It is suggested that the P-D analy sis be

Calculation of Capacity Ratios
In the calculation of the ax ial force/bi ax ial mo ment ca pac ity ra tios, first, for eachsta tion along the length of the mem ber, for each load com bi na tion, the ac tual mem -ber force/mo ment com po nents are cal cu lated. Then the cor re spond ing ca paci tiesare calculated. Then, the ca pac ity ra tios are calculated at each sta tion for eachmem ber un der the in flu ence of each of the de sign load com bi na tions. The con trol -ling com pres sion and/or ten sion ca pac ity ra tio is then ob tained, along with the as -so ci ated sta tion and load com bi na tion.

The user can over write the value of m for any mem -ber by spec i fy ing it. The mo ment M 2 and M 4 are the val ues at the quar ter points and the mo ment M 3 is the value at mid-length. If M 2 , M 3 and M 4 all lie on the same side of the axis, their val ues are taken as pos i tive. If they lie both sides of the axis, theside lead ing to the larger value is taken as the pos i tive side. The val ues M max and M 24 are al ways taken as pos i tive.

Design Loading Combinations
The de sign load com bi na tions are the vari ous com bi na tions of the load cases forwhich the struc ture needs to be checked. Ac cord ing to the BS 5950 code, if a struc -ture is sub jected to dead load (DL), live load (LL), wind load (WL), and earth quakeload (EL), and con sid er ing that wind and earth quake forces are re versi ble, then thefol low ing load com bi na tions may have to be con sid ered (BS 2.4):
1.4 DL1.4 DL + 1.6 LL (BS 2.4.1.1)
1.0 DL ± 1.4 WL 1.4 DL ± 1.4 WL 1.2 DL + 1.2 LL ± 1.2 WL (BS 2.4.1.1)
1.0 DL ± 1.4 EL 1.4 DL ± 1.4 EL 1.2 DL + 1.2 LL ± 1.2 EL
These are also the de fault de sign load com bi na tions when ever BS 5950 Code isused. The user should use other ap pro pri ate load ing com bi na tions if roof live loadis sepa rately treated, other types of loads are pres ent, or if pat tern live loads are tobe con sid ered.
Live load re duc tion fac tors can be ap plied to the mem ber forces of the live load case on an element- by- element ba sis to re duce the con tri bu tion of the live load to thefac tored load ing.
In ad di tion to the above load com bi na tions, the code re quires that all build ingsshould be ca pa ble of re sist ing a no tional de sign hori zon tal load ap plied at eachfloor or roof level. The no tional load should be equal to the maxi mum of 0.01 timesthe fac tored dead load and 0.005 times the fac tored dead plus live loads (BS2.4.2.3). The no tional forces should be as sumed to act in any one di rec tion at a timeand should be taken as act ing si mul ta ne ously with the fac tored dead plus ver ti calim posed live loads. They should not be com bined with any other hori zon tal loadcases (BS 5.1.2.3). It is rec om mended that the user should de fine ad di tional loadcases for con sid er ing the no tional load in the pro gram and de fine the ap pro pri atede sign com bi na tions.

By de fault, the pro gram takes the de sign strength, r y , to be 1.0 times the mini mum yield strengthof steel, Ys , as speci fied by the user. In in put ting val ues of the yield strength, theuser should en sure that the thick ness and the ul ti mate strength limi ta tions given inthe code are sat is fied (BS 3.1.1).

This chap ter de scribes the de tails of the struc tural steel de sign and stress check al -go rithms that are used by the pro gram when the user se lects the CAN/CSA- S16.1-94 de sign code (CISC 1995). Vari ous no ta tions used in this chap ter are de -scribed in Table IX-1.
The de sign is based on user- specified load ing com bi na tions. But the pro gram pro -vides a set of de fault load com bi na tions that should sat isfy re quire ments for the de -sign of most build ing type struc tures.
In the evalua tion of the ax ial force/bi ax ial mo ment ca pac ity ra tios at a sta tion alongthe length of the mem ber, first the ac tual mem ber force/mo ment com po nents andthe cor re spond ing ca paci ties are cal cu lated for each load com bi na tion.

Design Loading Combinations
The de sign load com bi na tions are the vari ous com bi na tions of the load cases forwhich the struc ture needs to be checked. For the CAN/CSA- S16.1-94 code, if astruc ture is sub jected to dead load (DL), live load (LL), wind load (WL), and earth -quake in duced load (EL), and con sid er ing that wind and earth quake forces are re -versi ble, then the fol low ing load com bi na tions may have to be de fined (CISC 7.2):
1.25 DL1.25 DL + 1.50 LL (CISC 7.2.2)
1.25 DL ± 1.50 WL 0.85 DL ± 1.50 WL 1.25 DL + 0.7 (1.50 LL ± 1.50 WL) (CISC 7.2.2)
1.00 DL ± 1.00 EL 1.00 DL + 0.50 LL ± 1.00 EL (CISC 7.2.6)
These are also the de fault de sign load com bi na tions when ever the CISC Code isused. In gen er at ing the above de fault load ing com bi na tions, the im por tance fac toris taken as 1.
The user should use other ap pro pri ate load ing com bi na tions if roof live load issepa rately treated, other types of loads are pres ent, or if pat tern live loads are to becon sid ered.
Live load re duc tion fac tors can be ap plied to the mem ber forces of the live load case on an element- by- element ba sis to re duce the con tri bu tion of the live load to thefac tored load ing.
When us ing the CISC code, the pro gram de sign as sumes that a P-D analy sis hasbeen per formed so that mo ment mag ni fi ca tion fac tors for mo ments caus ingsidesway can be taken as unity. It is suggested that the P-D analy sis be done at thefac tored load level of 1.25 DL plus 1.05 LL. See also White and Hajjar (1991).
For the grav ity load case only, the code (CISC 8.6.2) re quires that notional lat eralloads be ap plied at each story, equal to 0.005 times the fac tored grav ity loads act ing at each story. If ex tra load cases are used for such analy sis, they should be in cludedin the load ing com bi na tions with due con sid era tion to the fact that the no tionallateral forces can be posi tive or nega tive.

Classification of Sections
For the de ter mi na tion of the nomi nal strengths for ax ial com pres sion and flex ure,the sec tions are clas si fied as ei ther Class 1 (Plas tic), Class 2 (Com pact), Class 3(Noncompact), or Class 4 (Slender). The pro gram clas sifies the in di vid ual sec tionsac cord ing to Table IX-2 (CISC 11.2). Ac cord ing to this ta ble, a sec tion is clas si fied as ei ther Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 as ap pli ca ble.
If a sec tion fails to sat isfy the lim its for Class 3 sections, the sec tion is clas si fied asClass 4. Cur rently the pro gram does not check stresses for Class 4 sections.
Calculation of Factored Forces
The fac tored mem ber forces for each load com bi na tion are cal cu lated at each of thepre vi ously de fined sta tions. These mem ber forces are Tf or C f , M f 33 , M f 22 , Vf 2
and Vf 3 cor re spond ing to fac tored val ues of the ten sile or com pres sive ax ial load,the ma jor mo ment, the mi nor mo ment, the ma jor di rec tion shear, and the mi nor di -rec tion shear, re spec tively.
Be cause the pro gram de sign as sumes that the analy sis in cludes P-D ef fects, anymag ni fi ca tion of sidesway mo ments due to the sec ond or der ef fects are al ready in -cluded, there fore U 2 for both di rec tions of bend ing is taken as unity. It is suggestedthat the P-D analy sis be done at the fac tored load level of 1.25 DL plus 1.05 LL. Seealso White and Hajjar (1991).
How ever, the user can over write the val ues of U 2 for both ma jor and mi nor di rec -tion bend ing. In this case M f in a par ticu lar di rec tion is taken as:
M M U Mf fg ft= + 2 , where (CISC 8.6.1)
U 2 = Mo ment mag ni fi ca tion fac tor for sidesway mo ments,M fg = Fac tored mo ments not caus ing trans la tion, andM ft = Fac tored mo ments caus ing sidesway.

Calculation of Factored Strengths
The factored strengths in com pres sion, ten sion, bend ing, and shear are com puted
for Class 1, 2, and 3 sec tions in the pro gram. The strength re duc tion fac tor, j , istaken as 0.9 (CISC 13.1).
For Class 4 (Slen der) sec tions and any sin gly sym met ric and un sym met ric sec tionsre quir ing con sid era tion of lo cal buck ling, flexural- torsional and tor sional buck -ling, or web buck ling, re duced nomi nal strengths may be ap pli ca ble. The user mustsepa rately in ves ti gate this re duc tion if such ele ments are used.
If the user speci fies nomi nal strengths for one or more ele ments in the“Overwrites", these val ues will over ride all the above men tioned cal cu lated val -ues for those ele ments as de fined in the fol low ing sub sec tions.
Compression Strength
The fac tored ax ial com pres sive strength value, C r , for Class 1, 2, or 3 sec tions de -pends on a fac tor, l, which even tu ally de pends on the slen der ness ra tio, Kl r,which is the larger of ( )K l r33 33 33 and ( )K l r22 22 22 , and is de fined as

For sin gle an gles rZ is used in place of r r33 22and . For mem bers in com pres sion, if Kl r is greater than 200, a mes sage is printed (CISC 10.2.1).
Then the fac tored ax ial strength is eval u ated as fol lows (CISC 13.3.1):

n is an ex po nent and it takes three pos si ble val ues to match the strengths re lated to three SSRC curves. The de fault n is 1.34 which is as signed to W-shapesrolled in Can ada, fab ri cated boxes and I shapes, and cold-formed non-stress re -lieved (Class C) hol low struc tural sec tions (HSS) (CISC 13.3.1, CISC C13.3,Man ual Page 4-12, Man ual Ta ble 6-2). The WWF sec tions pro duced in Can ada from plate with flame-cut edges and hot-formed or cold-re lieved (Class H)HSS are as signed to a fa vor able value of n = 2.24 (CISC 13.3.1, CISC C13.3,Man ual Page 4-12). For heavy sec tions, a smaller value of n (n = 0.98) is con -sid ered ap pro pri ate (CISC C13.3). The pro gram as sumes the value of n as fol -lows:

Tension Strength
The fac tored ax ial ten sile strength value, Tr , is taken as j A Fg y (CISC 13.2.(a).(I)). For mem bers in ten sion, if l r is greater than 300, a mes sage is printed ac cord ingly(CISC 10.2.2).
T A Fr g y= j (CISC 13.2)
Bending Strengths
The fac tored bend ing strength in the ma jor and mi nor di rec tions is based on thegeo met ric shape of the sec tion, the sec tion clas si fi ca tion for com pact ness, and theun braced length of the mem ber. The bend ing strengths are evalu ated ac cord ing toCISC as fol lows (CISC 13.5 and 13.6):
For lat er ally sup ported mem bers, the mo ment ca paci ties are con sid ered to be as fol -lows:
For Class 1 and 2, M ZFr y= j , and (CISC 13.5)
For Class 3, M SFr y= j . (CISC 13.5)
Spe cial con sid era tions are re quired for lat er ally un sup ported mem bers. The pro ce -dure for the de ter mi na tion of mo ment ca paci ties for lat er ally un sup ported mem bers (CISC 13.6) is de scribed in the fol low ing sub sec tions.
If the ca pac i ties (M r22 and M r33 ) are over writ ten by the user, they are used in the in -ter ac tion ra tio cal cu la tion when strengths are re quired for ac tual un braced lengths. None of these over writ ten ca pac i ties are used for strengths in lat er ally sup portedcase.

This chap ter de scribes the de tails of the struc tural steel de sign and stress check al -go rithms that are used by the pro gram when the user se lects the Eurocode 3 de signcode (CEN 1992). The pro gram in ves ti gates the lim it ing states of strength and sta -bil ity but does not ad dress the serv ice abil ity limit states. Vari ous no ta tions used inthis chap ter are de scribed in Table X-1.
The de sign is based on user- specified load ing com bi na tions. But the pro gram pro -vides a set of de fault load com bi na tions that should sat isfy re quire ments for the de -sign of most build ing type struc tures.
In the evalua tion of the ax ial force/bi ax ial mo ment ca pac ity ra tios at a sta tion alongthe length of the mem ber, first the ac tual mem ber force/mo ment com po nents andthe cor re spond ing ca paci ties are cal cu lated for each load com bi na tion. Then the ca -pac ity ra tios are evalu ated at each sta tion un der the in flu ence of all load com bi na -tions us ing the cor re spond ing equa tions that are de fined in this sec tion. The con -trol ling ca pac ity ra tio is then ob tained. A ca pac ity ra tio greater than 1.0 in di catesex ceed ing a limit state. Simi larly, a shear ca pac ity ra tio is cal cu lated sepa rately.
Eng lish as well as SI and MKS met ric units can be used for in put. But the code isbased on Newton- Millimeter- Second units. For sim plic ity, all equa tions and de -scrip tions pre sented in this chap ter cor re spond to Newton- Millimeter- Secondunits un less oth er wise noted.

Design Loading Combinations
The de sign load ing com bi na tions de fine the vari ous fac tored com bi na tions of theload cases for which the struc ture is to be checked. The de sign load ing com bi na -tions are ob tained by mul ti ply ing the char ac ter is tic loads with ap pro pri ate par tialfac tors of safety. If a struc ture is sub jected to dead load (DL) and live load (LL)only, the de sign will need only one load ing com bi na tion, namely 1.35 DL + 1.5 LL.
How ever, in ad di tion to the dead load and live load, if the struc ture is sub jected towind (WL) or earth quake in duced forces (EL), and con sid er ing that wind andearth quake forces are sub ject to re ver sals, the fol low ing load com bi na tions mayhave to be con sid ered (EC3 2.3.3):
1.35 DL1.35 DL + 1.50 LL (EC3 2.3.3)
1.35 DL ± 1.50 WL 1.00 DL ± 1.50 WL 1.35 DL + 1.35 LL ± 1.35 WL (EC3 2.3.3)
1.00 DL ± 1.00 EL 1.00 DL + 1.5*0.3 LL ± 1.0 EL (EC3 2.3.3)
In fact, these are the de fault load com bi na tions which can be used or over writ ten bythe user to pro duce other criti cal de sign con di tions. These de fault load ing com bi na -tions are pro duced for per sis tent and tran sient de sign situa tions (EC3 2.3.2.2) bycom bin ing forces due to dead, live, wind, and earth quake loads for ul ti mate limitstates. See also sec tion 9.4 of Eurocode 1 (CEN 1994) and Ta ble 1, 3, and 4 and sec -tion 4 of United King dom Na tional Ap pli ca tion Docu ment (NAD).
The de fault load com bi na tions will usu ally suf fice for most build ing de sign. Theuser should use other ap pro pri ate load ing com bi na tions if roof live load is sepa -rately treated, other types of loads are pres ent, or if pat tern live loads are to be con -sid ered.
Live load re duc tion fac tors can be ap plied to the mem ber forces of the live load case on an element- by- element ba sis to re duce the con tri bu tion of the live load to thefac tored load ing.
In ad di tion to the loads de scribed ear lier, equiva lent lat eral load cases for geo met -ric im per fec tion should be con sid ered by the user. This equiva lent load is simi lar tothe no tional load of the Brit ish code, and de pends on the number of sto ries andnumber of col umns in any floor (EC3 5.2.4.3). Ad di tional load com bi na tions arealso needed for these load cases.

When us ing Eurocode 3, the pro gram de sign as sumes that a P-D analy sis has beenper formed so that mo ment mag ni fi ca tion fac tors for mo ments caus ing sideswaycan be taken as unity. It is sug gested that the P-D analy sis should be done at the fac -tored load level corresponding to 1.35 dead load plus 1.35 live load. See also Whiteand Hajjar (1991).
Classification of Sections
The de sign strength of a cross- section sub ject to com pres sion due to mo mentand/or ax ial load de pends on its clas si fi ca tion as Class 1 (Plas tic), Class 2 (Com -pact), Class 3 (Semi- compact), or Class 4 (Slen der). Ac cord ing to Eurocode 3, theclas si fi ca tion of sec tions de pends on the clas si fi ca tion of flange and web ele ments.The clas si fi ca tion also de pends on whether the com pres sion ele ments are in purecom pres sion, pure bend ing, or un der the in flu ence of com bined ax ial force andbend ing (EC3 5.3.2).
The pro gram con ser va tively clas si fies the com pres sion el e ments ac cord ing toTable X-2 and Table X-3. Table X-2 is used when the sec tion is un der the in flu enceof ax ial com pres sion force only or com bined ax ial com pres sion force and bend ing.Table X-3 is used when the sec tion is in pure bend ing or un der the in flu ence ofcom bined ax ial ten sile force and bend ing. The sec tion di men sions used in the ta -bles are given in Figure X-1. If the sec tion di men sions sat isfy the lim its shown inthe ta bles, the sec tion is clas si fied as Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 as ap pli ca ble. Across-sec tion is clas si fied by re port ing the high est (least fa vor able) class of its com -pres sion el e ments.
If a sec tion fails to sat isfy the lim its for Class 3 sec tions, the sec tion is clas si fiedas Class 4. Cur rently the pro gram does not check stresses for Class 4 sections.
One of the ma jor fac tors in de ter min ing the lim it ing width- thickness ra tio is e. This pa rame ter is used to re flect the in flu ence of yield stress on the sec tion clas si fi ca tion.

The in ter nal de sign loads which are cal cu lated for each load com bi na tion are N t Sd.
or N c Sd. , M Sd33. , M Sd22. , V Sd2. and V Sd3. cor re spond ing to de sign val ues of the ten sile or com pres sive ax ial load, the ma jor mo ment, the mi nor mo ment, the ma jor di rec -tion shear and the mi nor di rec tion shear re spec tively. These de sign loads are cal cu -lated at each of the pre vi ously de fined sta tions of each frame ele ment.
The de sign mo ments and forces need to be cor rected for sec ond or der ef fects. Thiscor rec tion is dif fer ent for the so called “sway” and “non sway” com po nents of themo ments. The code re quires that the ad di tional sway mo ments in tro duced by thehori zon tal de flec tion of the top of a story rela tive to the bot tom must be taken intoac count in the elas tic analy sis of the frame in one of the fol low ing ways (EC35.2.6.2):
• Di rectly ¾ by car ry ing out the global frame anal y sis us ing P-D anal y sis. Mem -ber de sign can be car ried out us ing in-plane buck ling lengths for nonswaymode.
• In di rectly ¾ by mod i fy ing the re sults of a lin ear elas tic anal y sis us ing an ap -prox i mate method which makes al low ance for the sec ond or der ef fects. There
are two al ter na tive ways to do this ¾ “am pli fied sway mo ment method” or“sway mode in-plane buck ling method”.
Calculation of Factored Forces 243
Chapter X Check/Design for EUROCODE 3-92
The ad van tage of the di rect sec ond or der elas tic analy sis is that this method avoidsun cer tainty in ap proxi mat ing the buck ling length and also avoids split ting up mo -ments into their “sway” and “non sway” com po nents.
The pro gram de sign as sumes that P-D ef fects are in cluded in the anal y sis.There fore any mag ni fi ca tion of sidesway mo ments due to sec ond or der ef fectsis al ready ac counted for, I. e. y s in the fol low ing equa tion is taken as 1.0. It is
sug gested that the P-D anal y sis be done at the fac tored load level of 1.35 DL plus1.35 LL. See also White and Hajjar (1991). How ever, the user can over write theval ues of y s for both ma jor and mi nor di rec tion bend ing in which case M Sd in apar tic u lar di rec tion is taken as:
M = M + MSd g.Sd s s.Sdy , where (EC3 5.2.6.2)
M g Sd. = De sign mo ments not caus ing trans la tion, andM s Sd. = De sign mo ments caus ing sidesway.
Mo ment mag ni fi ca tion for non- sidesway mo ments is in cluded in the over all buck -ling in ter ac tion equa tions.
Sway mo ments are pro duced in a frame by the ac tion of any load which re sults insway dis place ments. The hori zon tal loads can be ex pected al ways to pro duce swaymo ments. How ever, they are also pro duced by ver ti cal loads if ei ther the load or the frame are un sym met ri cal. In the case of a sym met ri cal frame with sym met ri cal ver -ti cal loads, the sway mo ments are sim ply the in ter nal mo ments in the frames due tothe hori zon tal loads (EC3 5.2.6.2).
Calculation of Section Resistances
The nomi nal strengths in com pres sion, ten sion, bend ing, and shear are com putedfor Class 1, 2, and 3 sec tions ac cord ing to the fol low ing sub sec tions. The ma te rialpar tial safety fac tors used by the pro gram are:
g M 0 = 1.1 , and (EC3 5.1.1)g M 1 = 1.1 . (EC3 5.1.1)
For Class 4 (Slen der) sec tions and any sin gly symmetric and un sym met ric sec tionsre quir ing spe cial treat ment, such as the con sid era tion of lo cal buck ling, flexural- torsional and tor sional buck ling, or web buck ling, re duced sec tion ca paci ties maybe ap pli ca ble.

This chap ter de scribes the de tails of the struc tural steel de sign and stress check al -go rithms that are used by the pro gram when the user se lects the UBC-ASD97 de -sign code. The UBC-ASD97 de sign code in the pro gram im ple ments the In ter na -tional Con fer ence of Build ing Of fi cials’ 1997 Uni form Build ing Code: Vol ume 2:Struc tural En gi neering De sign Pro vi sions, Chap ter 22, Di vi sion III, “De sign Stan -
dard for Spec i fi ca tion for Struc tural Steel Build ings ¾ Al low able Stress De signand Plas tic De sign” (ICBO 1997).
Chap ter 22, Di vi sion III, of UBC adopted the Amer i can In sti tute of Steel Con struc -tion’s Spec i fi ca tion for Struc tural Steel Build ings: Al low able Stress De sign andPlas tic De sign, June 1, 1989 with Commentary (AISC 1989a), which has been im -ple mented in the AISC-ASD89 code in the pro gram. The pro gram im ple men ta tionof AISC-ASD89 is de scribed in Chap ter “De sign/Check for AISC-ASD89” of thisman ual. The cur rent chap ter fre quently re fers to Chap ter . It is sug gested that theuser read Chap ter be fore con tin u ing to read this chap ter.
For re fer ring to per ti nent sec tions and equa tions of the UBC code, a unique pre fix“UBC” is as signed. For re fer ring to per ti nent sec tions and equa tions of theAISC-ASD code, a unique pre fix “ASD” is as signed. How ever, all ref er ences to the “Spec i fi ca tions for Al low able Stress De sign of Sin gle-An gle Mem bers” (AISC1989b) carry the pre fix of “ASD SAM”.
257
Var i ous no ta tions used in this chap ter are de scribed in Table III-1.
When us ing the UBC-ASD97 op tion, the fol low ing Framing Sys tems are rec og -nized (UBC 1627, 2213):
• Or di nary Mo ment Frame (OMF)
• Spe cial Mo ment-Resisting Frame (SMRF)
• Con cen trically Braced Frame (CBF)
• Ec cen trically Braced Frame (EBF)
• Spe cial Con cen trically Braced Frame (SCBF)
By de fault the frame type is taken as Spe cial Mo ment-Re sisting Frame (SMRF) inthe pro gram. How ever, the frame type can be over writ ten in the Pref er ence form tochange the de fault and in the Over writes form on a mem ber by mem ber ba sis. If any mem ber is as signed with a frame type, the change of the frame type in the Pref er -ence will not mod ify the frame type of the in di vid ual mem ber for which it is as -signed.
When us ing the UBC-ASD97 op tion, a frame is as signed to one of the fol low ingfive Seis mic Zones (UBC 2213, 2214):
• Zone 0
• Zone 1
• Zone 2
• Zone 3
• Zone 4
By de fault the Seis mic Zone is taken as Zone 4 in the pro gram. How ever, the frame type can be over writ ten in the Pref er ence form to change the de fault.
The de sign is based on user-spec i fied load ing com bi na tions. But the pro gram pro -vides a set of de fault load com bi na tions that should sat isfy re quire ments for the de -sign of most build ing type struc tures.
Eng lish as well as SI and MKS met ric units can be used for in put. But the code isbased on Kip-Inch-Sec ond units. For sim plic ity, all equa tions and de scrip tions pre -sented in this chap ter cor re spond to Kip-Inch-Sec ond units un less oth er wisenoted.

Design Loading Combinations
The de sign load com bi na tions are the var i ous com bi na tions of the load cases forwhich the struc tural mem bers and joints needs to be de signed or checked. For theUBC-ASD97 code, if a struc ture is sub jected to dead load (DL), live load (LL),wind load (WL), and earth quake in duced load (EL), and con sid er ing that wind andearth quake forces are re vers ible, then the fol low ing load com bi na tions may have to be de fined (UBC 1612.3):
DL (UBC 1612.3.1 12-7)DL + LL (UBC 1612.3.1 12-8)
DL ± WL (UBC 1612.3.1 12-9)DL + 0.75 LL ± 0.75 WL (UBC 1612.3.1 12-11)

These are also the de fault de sign load com bi na tions in the pro gram when ever theUBC-ASD89 code is used. The user should use other ap pro pri ate load ing com bi na -tions if roof live load is sep a rately treated, if other types of loads are pres ent, or ifpat tern live loads are to be con sid ered.
When de sign ing for com bi na tions in volv ing earth quake and wind loads, al low ablestresses are NOT in creased by a fac tor of 4/3 of the reg u lar al low able value (UBC1612.3.1, 2209.3).
Live load re duc tion fac tors can be ap plied to the mem ber forces of the live load case on an el e ment-by-el e ment ba sis to re duce the con tri bu tion of the live load to thefac tored load ing.
It is noted here that when ever spe cial seis mic load ing com bi na tions are re quiredby the code for spe cial cir cum stances, the pro gram au to mat i cally gen er ates thoseload com bi na tions in ter nally. The fol low ing ad di tional seis mic load com bi na tionsare fre quently checked for spe cific types of mem bers and spe cial cir cum stances.

The guide line for se lect ing a rea -son able value can be found in UBC 1630.3.1 and UBC Ta ble 16-N. There are othersim i lar spe cial load ing com bi na tions which are de scribed lat ter in this chap ter.
These above spe cial seis mic loading com bi na tions are in ter nal to the pro gram. Theuser does NOT need to cre ate ad di tional load com bi na tions for these load com bi na -tions. The spe cial cir cum stances for which these load com bi na tions are ad di tion -ally checked are de scribed later in this chap ter as ap pro pri ate. The spe cial load ingcom bi na tion fac tors are ap plied di rectly to the ETABS load cases. It is as sumedthat any re quired scal ing (such as may be re quired to scale re sponse spec tra re sults)has al ready been ap plied to the ETABS load cases.
Member Design

Calculation of Stresses
The ax ial, flex ural, and shear stresses at each of the pre vi ously de fined sta tions foreach load com bi na tion in UBC-ASD97 are cal cu lated in the same way as de scribed in sec tion “Cal cu la tion of Stresses” of Chap ter with out any ex cep tion (UBC 2208,ASD A-B5.2d). For nonslender sec tions, the stresses are based on the grosscross-sec tional ar eas (ASD A-B5.2c), for slen der sec tions the stresses are based onef fec tive sec tion prop er ties (ASD A-B5.2c), and for Sin gle-an gle sec tions thestresses are based on the prin ci pal prop er ties of the sec tions (ASD SAM 6.1.5).
The flex ural stresses are cal cu lated based on the prop er ties about the prin ci pal axes. For I, Box, Chan nel, T, Dou ble-an gle, Pipe, Cir cu lar and Rect an gu lar sec tions, theprin ci pal axes co in cide with the geo met ric axes. For Sin gle-an gle sec tions, the de -sign con sid ers the prin ci pal prop er ties. For gen eral sec tions it is as sumed that allsec tion prop er ties are given in terms of the prin ci pal di rec tions.
The shear stresses for Sin gle-an gle sec tions are cal cu lated for di rec tions along thegeo met ric axes. For all other sec tions the shear stresses are cal cu lated along thegeo met ric/prin ci ple axes.
Calculation of Allowable Stresses
The al low able stresses in com pres sion, ten sion, bend ing, and shear for Com pact,Noncompact, and Slen der sec tions ac cord ing to the UBC-ASD97 are cal cu lated inthe same way as de scribed in sec tion “Cal cu la tion of Al low able Stresses” of Chap -ter with out any ex cep tion (UBC 2208, ASD A-B5.2d). The al low able stresses forSeis mic sec tions are cal cu lated in the same way as for Com pact sec tions.
The al low able flex ural stresses for all shapes of sec tions are cal cu lated based ontheir prin ci pal axes of bend ing. For the I, Box, Chan nel, Cir cu lar, Pipe, T, Dou -ble-an gle and Rect an gu lar sec tions, the prin ci pal axes co in cide with their geo met -ric axes. For the An gle sec tions, the prin ci pal axes are de ter mined and all com pu ta -tions re lated to flex ural stresses are based on that.

The al low able shear stress is cal cu lated along the geo met ric axes for all sec tions.For I, Box, Chan nel, T, Dou ble an gle, Pipe, Cir cu lar and Rect an gu lar sec tions, theprin ci pal axes co in cide with their geo met ric axes. For Sin gle-an gle sec tions, prin -ci pal axes do not co in cide with the geo met ric axes.
All lim i ta tions and warn ings re lated to al low able stress cal cu la tion inAISC-ASD89 also apply in this code.
If the user spec i fies non zero al low able stresses for one or more el e ments in theprogram “Al low able Stress Overwrites” form, these val ues will over ride the above men tioned cal cu lated val ues for those el e ments . The spec i fied al low able stressesshould be based on the prin ci pal axes of bend ing.
Calculation of Stress Ratios
The stress ra tios in UBC-ASD97 are cal cu lated in the same way as de scribed insec tion “Cal cu la tion of Stress Ra tios” of Chap ter with some mod i fi ca tions as de -scribed be low.
In the cal cu la tion of the ax ial and bend ing stress ra tios, first, for each sta tion alongthe length of the mem ber, the ac tual stresses are cal cu lated for each load com bi na -tion. Then the cor re spond ing al low able stresses are cal cu lated. Then, the stress ra -tios are cal cu lated at each sta tion for each mem ber un der the in flu ence of each ofthe de sign load com bi na tions. The con trol ling stress ra tio is then ob tained, alongwith the as so ci ated sta tion and load com bi na tion. A stress ra tio greater than 1.0 in -di cates an over stress. Sim i larly, a shear ca pac ity ra tio is also cal cu lated sep a rately.
Dur ing the de sign, the ef fect of the pres ence of bolts or welds is not con sid ered.
Ax ial and Bend ing Stresses
With the com puted al low able ax ial and bend ing stress val ues and the fac tored ax ialand bend ing mem ber stresses at each sta tion, an in ter ac tion stress ra tio is pro ducedfor each of the load com bi na tions as fol lows (ASD H1, H2, SAM 6):

De sign of Con ti nu ity Plates
In a plan view of a beam/col umn con nec tion, a steel beam can frame into a col umnin the fol low ing ways:
• The steel beam frames in a di rec tion par al lel to the col umn ma jor di rec tion, i.e.the beam frames into the col umn flange.
• The steel beam frames in a di rec tion par al lel to the col umn mi nor di rec tion, i.e.the beam frames into the col umn web.
• The steel beam frames in a di rec tion that is at an an gle to both of the prin ci palaxes of the col umn, i.e. the beam frames par tially into the col umn web and par -tially into the col umn flange.
To achieve a beam/col umn mo ment con nec tion, con ti nu ity plates such as shown in are usu ally placed on the col umn, in line with the top and bot tom flanges of thebeam, to trans fer the com pres sion and ten sion flange forces of the beam into thecol umn.
For con nec tion con di tions de scribed in the last two steps above, the thick ness ofsuch plates is usu ally set equal to the flange thick ness of the cor re spond ing beam.How ever, for the con nec tion con di tion de scribed by the first step above, where thebeam frames into the flange of the col umn, such con ti nu ity plates are not al waysneeded. The re quire ment de pends upon the mag ni tude of the beam-flange forceand the prop er ties of the col umn. This is the con di tion that the pro gram in ves ti -gates. Col umns of I-sec tions only are in ves ti gated. The pro gram eval u ates the con -ti nu ity plate re quire ments for each of the beams that frame into the col umn flange(i.e. par al lel to the col umn ma jor di rec tion) and re ports the max i mum con ti nu ityplate area that is needed for each beam flange. The con ti nu ity plate re quire mentsare eval u ated for mo ment frames only. No check is made for braced frames.

De sign of Dou bler Plates
One as pect of the de sign of a steel fram ing sys tem is an eval u a tion of the shearforces that ex ist in the re gion of the beam col umn in ter sec tion known as the panelzone.
Shear stresses sel dom con trol the de sign of a beam or col umn mem ber. How ever,in a Mo ment-Re sisting frame, the shear stress in the beam-col umn joint can be crit i -cal, es pe cially in fram ing sys tems when the col umn is sub jected to ma jor di rec tionbend ing and the joint shear forces are re sisted by the web of the col umn. In mi nordi rec tion bend ing, the joint shear is car ried by the col umn flanges, in which case the shear stresses are sel dom crit i cal, and this con di tion is there fore not in ves ti gated bythe pro gram.
Shear stresses in the panel zone, due to ma jor di rec tion bend ing in the col umn, mayre quire ad di tional plates to be welded onto the col umn web, de pend ing upon theload ing and the ge om e try of the steel beams that frame into the col umn, ei theralong the col umn ma jor di rec tion, or at an an gle so that the beams have com po nents along the col umn ma jor di rec tion.

For re fer ring to per ti nent sec tions and equa tions of theUBC-LRFD code, a unique pre fix “LRFD” is as signed. How ever, all ref er ences tothe “Spec i fi ca tions for Load and Re sis tance Fac tored De sign of Sin gle-An gleMem bers” (AISC 1994) carry the pre fix of “LRFD SAM”.

• Spe cial Mo ment-Re sisting Frame (SMRF)
• Con cen trically Braced Frame (CBF)
• Ec cen trically Braced Frame (EBF)
• Spe cial Con cen trically Braced Frame (SCBF)
By de fault the frame type is taken as Spe cial Mo ment-Re sisting Frame (SMRF) inthe pro gram. How ever, the frame type can be over writ ten in the Pref er ence form tochange the de fault and in the Over writes form on a mem ber by mem ber ba sis. If any mem ber is as signed with a frame type, the change of the frame type in the Pref er -ence will not mod ify the frame type of the in di vid ual mem ber for which it is as -signed.
When us ing the UBC-LRFD97 op tion, a frame is as signed to one of the fol low ingfive Seis mic Zones (UBC 2210):
• Zone 0
• Zone 1
• Zone 2
• Zone 3
• Zone 4
By de fault the Seis mic Zone is taken as Zone 4 in the pro gram. How ever, the frame type can be over writ ten in the Pref er ence form to change the de fault.
The de sign is based on user-spec i fied load ing com bi na tions. But the pro gram pro -vides a set of de fault load com bi na tions that should sat isfy re quire ments for the de -sign of most build ing type struc tures.
Eng lish as well as SI and MKS met ric units can be used for in put. But the code isbased on Kip-Inch-Sec ond units. For sim plic ity, all equa tions and de scrip tions pre -sented in this chap ter cor re spond to Kip-Inch-Sec ond units un less oth er wisenoted.

The sec tions which do sat -isfy these ad di tional re quire ments are clas si fied and re ported as “SEIS MIC” in thepro gram. These spe cial re quire ments for clas si fy ing the sec tions as “SEIS MIC” inthe pro gram (“Com pact” in UBC) are given in Table XII-1 (UBC 2210.8,2210.10c, 2211.4.8.4.b, 2211.9.2.d, 2210.10g, 2211.4.10.6.e). If these cri te ria arenot sat is fied, when the code re quires them to be sat is fied, the user must mod ify thesec tion prop erty. In this case the pro gram gives a warn ing mes sage in the out putfile.
Calculation of Factored Forces
The fac tored mem ber loads that are cal cu lated for each load com bi na tion are Pu , M u33 , M u22 , Vu2 and Vu3 cor re spond ing to fac tored val ues of the ax ial load, the ma -jor mo ment, the mi nor mo ment, the ma jor di rec tion shear force and the mi nor di -rec tion shear force, re spec tively. These fac tored loads are cal cu lated at each of thepre vi ously de fined sta tions for each load com bi na tion. They are cal cu lated in thesame way as de scribed in sec tion “Cal cu la tion of Fac tored Forces” of Chap ter with out any ex cep tion (UBC 2204.1 2205.2, 2205.3, 2206, 2210).
The bend ing mo ments are ob tained along the prin ci pal di rec tions. For I, Box,Chan nel, T, Dou ble-an gle, Pipe, Cir cu lar and Rect an gu lar sec tions, the prin ci palaxes co in cide with the geo met ric axes. For the An gle sec tions, the prin ci pal axesare de ter mined and all com pu ta tions re lated to bend ing moment are based on that.For gen eral sec tions it is as sumed that all sec tion prop er ties are given in terms of the prin ci pal di rec tions and con se quently no ef fort is made to de ter mine the prin ci paldi rec tions.
The shear forces for Sin gle-an gle sec tions are obtained for di rec tions along the geo -met ric axes. For all other sec tions the shear stresses are cal cu lated along the geo -met ric/prin ci ple axes.
For load ing com bi na tions that cause com pres sion in the mem ber, the fac tored mo -ment M u (M u33 and M u22 in the cor re spond ing di rec tions) is mag ni fied to con sidersec ond or der ef fects. The mag ni fied mo ment in a par tic u lar di rec tion is given by:
M = B M + B Mu nt lt1 2 , (LRFD C1-1, SAM 6)
where M nt , M lt , B1 and B2 are de fined in Chap ter . B1 and B2 are mo ment mag ni fi -ca tion fac tors. B1 is cal cu lated in the same way as in Chap ter . Sim i larly toAISC-LRFD93, the pro gram de sign as sumes the anal y sis in cludes P-D ef fects inthis code too, there fore B2 is taken as unity for bend ing in both di rec tions.

When us ing the UBC-LRFD97 code, the pro gram de sign as sumes that a P-D anal y -sis has been per formed so that mo ment mag ni fi ca tion fac tors for mo ments caus ingsidesway can be taken as unity. It is rec om mended that the P-D anal y sis be done atthe fac tored load level of 1.2 DL plus 0.5 LL (White and Hajjar 1991).
The same con di tions and lim i ta tions as AISC-LRFD93 ap ply.
Calculation of Nominal Strengths
The nom i nal strengths in com pres sion, ten sion, bend ing, and shear for Seis mic,Com pact, Noncompact, and Slen der sec tions ac cord ing to the UBC-LRFD97 arecal cu lated in the same way as de scribed in sec tion “Cal cu la tion of Nom i nalStrengths” of Chap ter with out any ex cep tion (UBC 2204.1 2205.2, 2205.3, 2206,2210.2, 2210.3). The nom i nal strengths for Seis mic sec tions are cal cu lated in thesame way as for Com pact sec tions.
The nom i nal flex ural strengths for all shapes of sec tions in clud ing Sin gle-an glesec tions are cal cu lated based on their prin ci pal axes of bend ing. For the I, Box,Chan nel, Cir cu lar, Pipe, T, Dou ble-an gle and Rect an gu lar sec tions, the prin ci palaxes co in cide with their geo met ric axes. For the An gle sec tions, the prin ci pal axesare de ter mined and all com pu ta tions re lated to flex ural strengths are based on that.
The nom i nal shear strengths are cal cu lated along the geo met ric axes for all sec -tions. For I, Box, Chan nel, T, Dou ble an gle, Pipe, Cir cu lar and Rect an gu lar sec -tions, the prin ci pal axes co in cide with their geo met ric axes. For Sin gle-an gle sec -tions, prin ci pal axes do not co in cide with the geo met ric axes.
If the user spec i fies non zero fac tored strengths for one or more el e ments in the“Ca pac ity Over writes” form, these val ues will over ride the above men tioned cal -cu lated val ues for those el e ments. The spec i fied fac tored strengths should bebased on the prin ci pal axes of bend ing.
The strength re duc tion fac tor, j , is taken as fol lows (LRFD A5.3):
j t = Re sis tance fac tor for ten sion, 0.9 (LRFD D1, H1, SAM 2, 6)j c = Re sis tance fac tor for com pres sion, 0.85 (LRFD E2, E3, H1)j c = Re sis tance fac tor for com pres sion in an gles, 0.90 (LRFD SAM 4, 6)j b = Re sis tance fac tor for bend ing, 0.9 (LRFD F1, H1, A-F1, A-G2, SAM 5)j v = Re sis tance fac tor for shear, 0.9 (LRFD F2, A-F2, A-G3, SAM 3)

In the cal cu la tion of the ax ial force/bi axial mo ment ca pac ity ra tios, first, for eachsta tion along the length of the mem ber, the ac tual mem ber force/mo ment com po -nents are cal cu lated for each load com bi na tion. Then the cor re spond ing ca pac i tiesare cal cu lated. Then, the ca pac ity ra tios are cal cu lated at each sta tion for eachmem ber un der the in flu ence of each of the de sign load com bi na tions. The con trol -ling ca pac ity ra tio is then ob tained, along with the as so ci ated sta tion and load com -bi na tion. A ca pac ity ra tio greater than 1.0 in di cates ex ceed ing a limit state.

De sign of Con ti nu ity Plates
In a plan view of a beam/col umn con nec tion, a steel beam can frame into a col umnin the fol low ing ways:
• The steel beam frames in a di rec tion par al lel to the col umn ma jor di rec tion, i.e.the beam frames into the col umn flange.
• The steel beam frames in a di rec tion par al lel to the col umn mi nor di rec tion, i.e.the beam frames into the col umn web.
• The steel beam frames in a di rec tion that is at an an gle to both of the prin ci palaxes of the col umn, i.e. the beam frames par tially into the col umn web and par -tially into the col umn flange.
To achieve a beam/col umn mo ment con nec tion, con ti nu ity plates such as shown in are usu ally placed on the col umn, in line with the top and bot tom flanges of thebeam, to trans fer the com pres sion and ten sion flange forces of the beam into thecol umn.
For con nec tion con di tions de scribed in the last two steps above, the thick ness ofsuch plates is usu ally set equal to the flange thick ness of the cor re spond ing beam.How ever, for the con nec tion con di tion de scribed by the first step above, where thebeam frames into the flange of the col umn, such con ti nu ity plates are not al waysneeded. The re quire ment de pends upon the mag ni tude of the beam-flange forceand the prop er ties of the col umn. This is the con di tion that the pro gram in ves ti -gates. Col umns of I-sec tions only are in ves ti gated. The pro gram eval u ates the con -ti nu ity plate re quire ments for each of the beams that frame into the col umn flange(i.e. par al lel to the col umn ma jor di rec tion) and re ports the max i mum con ti nu ityplate area that is needed for each beam flange.

De sign of Dou bler Plates
One as pect of the de sign of a steel fram ing sys tem is an eval u a tion of the shearforces that ex ist in the re gion of the beam col umn in ter sec tion known as the panelzone.
Shear stresses sel dom con trol the de sign of a beam or col umn mem ber. How ever,in a Mo ment-Re sisting frame, the shear stress in the beam-col umn joint can be crit i -cal, es pe cially in fram ing sys tems when the col umn is sub jected to ma jor di rec tionbend ing and the joint shear forces are re sisted by the web of the col umn. In mi nordi rec tion bend ing, the joint shear is car ried by the col umn flanges, in which case the shear stresses are sel dom crit i cal, and this con di tion is there fore not in ves ti gated bythe pro gram.
Shear stresses in the panel zone, due to ma jor di rec tion bend ing in the col umn, mayre quire ad di tional plates to be welded onto the col umn web, de pend ing upon theload ing and the ge om e try of the steel beams that frame into the col umn, ei theralong the col umn ma jor di rec tion, or at an an gle so that the beams have com po nents along the col umn ma jor di rec tion.

Evalua tion of Beam Con nec tion Shears
For each steel beam in the struc ture the pro gram will re port the max i mum ma jorshears at each end of the beam for the de sign of the beam shear con nec tions. Thebeam con nec tion shears re ported are the max ima of the fac tored shears ob tainedfrom the load ing com bi na tions.
For spe cial seis mic de sign, the beam con nec tion shears are not taken less than thefol low ing spe cial val ues for dif fer ent types of fram ing. The re quire ments checkedare based on UBC Sec tion 2211.4.2.1 for frames in Seis mic Zones 0 and 1 and Zone 2 with Im por tance fac tor equal to 1 (UBC 2210.2, UBC 2211.4.2.1), on UBC Sec -tion 2211.4.2.2 for frames in Seis mic Zone 2 with Im por tance fac tor greater than 1(UBC 2210.2, UBC 2211.4.2.2), and on UBC Sec tion 2211.4.2.3 for frames inSeis mic Zones 3 and 4 (UBC 2210.2, UBC 2211.4.2.3). No spe cial re quire ment ischecked for frames in Seis mic Zones 0 and 1 and in Seis mic Zone 2 with Im por -tance fac tor equal to 1 (UBC 2210.2, UBC 2211.4.2.1).
