AISC 360-10 Example 002 PDF
EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
A demand capacity ratio is calculated for the built-up, ASTM A572 grade 50,
column shown below. An axial load of 70 kips (D) and 210 kips (L) is applied to
a simply supported column with a height of 15 ft.
RESULTS COMPARISON
Independent results are hand calculated and compared with the results from
Example E.2 AISC Design Examples, Volume 13.0 on the application of the 2005
AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-10).
Percent
Output Parameter SAP2000 Independent Difference
CONCLUSION
The results show an exact comparison with the independent results.
HAND CALCULATION
Properties:
Material: ASTM A572 Grade 50
E = 29,000 ksi, Fy = 50 ksi
Loadings:
Pu = 1.2(70.0) + 1.6(210) = 420 kips
Section Compactness:
Check for slender elements using Specification Section E7
