    This document provides corrections to a previous paper on simple equations for effective length factors. The corrections include: 1) An equation on page 111 was corrected, changing the denominator from 3G4 to 3G4 + 2.0. 2) A table on page 112 was corrected, updating values in the comparison of two equations for Jn braced frames. 3) No other changes were needed beyond correcting these two errors in the prior published paper.
