There is no standard set of design steps but the following procedure may be suggested.

(b) Beam Effect (x-direction): Calculate the bending design strength = b Mnx for
the x-axis. Check both LB and LTB.
(c) Beam Effect (y -direction): Calculate the bending design strength = b Mny for
the y -axis. This analysis is similar to step (b) except that y -axis properties (Sy
and Zy ) are used. Consider only LB in the flange since there will be no LTB in
the y -axis.
(d) Moment Magnification (x-axis direction): Calculate Cmx for the x-axis
moments using:
M
Cmx = 0:6 , 0:4 M1 (H1-4)
2 x
Here, M1 and M2 are the end moments with the condition jM1 j jM2 j and
the sign of the value M1 =M2 is:
M1=M2)x > 0
( for reverse curvature
(M1 =M2 )x 0 for single curvature

(e) Moment Magnification (y -axis direction): Repeat step (d) for the y -axis using
the formulas:
M
Cmy = 0:6 , 0:4 M1 (H1-4)

The Euler buckling load, Pe1y , is calculated using the y -axis properties
regardless of which axis is weaker:
Pe1y = KEA Fy Ag

(f) Interaction:
If Pu =c Pn 0:2 then
Pu + 8 Mux + Muy = interaction ratio 1 (H1-1a)
c Pn 9 b Mnx b Mny
If Pu =c Pn < 0:2 then
Pu + Mux + Muy = interaction ratio 1 (H1-1a)
2c Pn b Mnx b Mny
(g) Redesign: If the interaction ratio falls in the range between 0.95 and 1.0, then
no redesign may be necessary. Otherwise, it is necessary to check a new
section using the general formula:
