Note that if the maximum values of the interaction factors given in Table 19.1 were to he used, the member would have failed. This is mainly due to the k,,,,factor, which has a maximum value of I.SC,,,, but for low axial loads and low major axis non-dimensional column slenderness, the value of k,,,,approaches I.OC,,,,,, as may he seen in Figure 19.12(a).
