This document contains calculations to determine the effective lengths of columns and rafters for structural design. It provides dimensions, properties, and formulas used to calculate the effective length factors k for various joints along the x and y axes. The key results are an effective length factor of 7.1m for Column A along the x-axis, and 145.61m for Column B along the y-axis. For the rafters, the effective length is 14.986m along the x-axis and 32.12m along the y-axis.
