Adjustments to Additional Moments
CE 5510 - 2004

Class Objectives
Explain the effect of second order moments on
axial force-moment interaction diagram
Identify a column as slender (or not) Slender
means that slenderness effects are to be
considered as per code of practice.
Determine the design moments for a slender
column.
