Por the design of members subject to eccentric conipression or combined axial compression and flexure, see Part 6. AVAILABLE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH ‘The available strength of compression members, §P, or P,/@, which must equal or exceed the required strength, P, or P,, respectively, is determined according to AISC Specification Chapter E. LOCAL BUCKLING Determining the Width-to-Thickness Ratios of the Cross Section ‘Steel compression members are classified on the basis of the width-to-thickness ratios of the various elements of the cross section. The widti-lo-thickness ratio is caleulated for each ele- ment of the cross section per AISC Specification Section B4. Determining the Slenderness of the Cross Section ‘When the width-to-thickness ratios of all compression elements are less than or equal to A,, the cross section is nonslender, and Q, the reduction factor for slender compression ele- ments (elastic local buckling effects), equals 1.0. When the width-to-thickness ratio of a compression clement is greater than A,, the cross section is a slender-element cross section and Q must be included in the calculation of the available compressive strength. Q is deter- mined pet AISC Specification Section E7, and A, is determined per AISC Specification Section B4 and Table B4.1a. EFFECTIVE LENGTH AND COLUMN SLENDERNESS, Columns are designed for their slendemess, KL/r, per AISC Specification Section E2. The effective length, KL, is equal to the effective length factor, K. multiplied by L, the physical length between braced points (see AISC Specification Appendix 6). When a stability analysis is performed using the direct analysis method per AISC Specification Chapter C When a stability analysis is performed using the first-order analysis method in AISC Specification Appendix Section 7.3, K= 1. When a stability analysis is performed using the effective length method in AISC Specification Appendix Section 7.2, the following applies: K= 1 for columns braved at each end and whose flexural stiffnesses are not consid- eied to contribute to lateral stability and resistance to lateral loads. K= | forall columns when the ratio of maximum second-order drift to first-order drift in alt stories is less than 1.1.

Guidance on the proper determination of the value of K is given in AISC Specification Commentary to Appendix Section 7.2. As indicated in the User Note in AISC Specification Section E2, compression member slendemess, KL should preferably be limited to a maximum of 200. Note that this recom- mendation does not apply to members that are primarily tension members, but subject to incidental compression under other load combinations. Additional information is available in the SSRC Guide to Stability Design Criteria for Meial Structures (Ziemian, 2010).

Equal-Leg Double Angles in Axial Compression ‘Available strengths in axial compression, including the limit state of flexural-torsional buck- Ting. are given for equal-leg double angles with Fy = 36 ksi (ASTM A36), assuming "s-i. separation between the angles, These values can be used conservatively when a larger sep- aration is provided.

However, for buckling about the y-axis, the effects of shear deformations of the intermediate connectors must be considered. ‘The tabulated values for (KE), have been adjusted for the shear deformations in uecordance with AISC Specification Equations E6-2a and E6-2b, which is applicable to welded and pretensioned bolted intermediate shear connectors. The number of intermediate connec- tors. n, is given in the table and the line of demarcation between the required connector values is dashed. Intermediate connectors are selected such that the available compression buckling strength about the y-axis is equal to or greater than 90% of that for compression buckling of the two angles as a unit, If fewer connectors or snug-tightened bolted interme- diate connectors are used, the available strength must be reculeulated per ATSC Specification Section E6. Per AISC Specification Section 6.2. the slendemess of the indi- vidual components of the built-up member based upon the distance between intermediate connectors, a, must not exceed three-quarters of the controlling slenderness of the overall built-up compression member. ‘Other properties useful in the design of double-angle compression members ate listed at the bottom of Table 4-8.

Concentrically Loaded Single Angles in Axial Compression Available strengths in axial compression are given for single angles, loaded through the een {roid of the cross section, with F, = 36 ksi (ASTM A36) based upon the effective length with respect to the z-axis, (KL). Single angles may be assumed to be loaded through the centroid when the requirements of AISC Specification Section ES are met, as in these cases the ‘eccentricity is accounted for and the slenderness is reduced by the restraining effects of the support at both ends of the member. Table 4-12. Eccentrically Loaded Single Angles in Axial Compression Available strengths in axial compression are given for eccentrically loaded single angles with F, = 36 ksi (ASTM A36). ‘The Jong leg of the angle is assumed to be attached to a gusset plate with a thickness of 1 St. The tabulated values assume load placed at the mid-width of the long leg of the angle al a distance of 0.75¢ from the face of this leg.

AISC Specification Section 12.2b stipulates that the available compressive strength of a filled composite member need not be less than that spec- ified for a bare steel member. In these tables, available strengths contralied by the bare steel acting alone are identified. Additionally, there is no longitudinal reinforcement provided, because there is no requirement for minimum reinforcement in the AISC Specification. The use of filled shapes without longitudinal reinforcement is a common industry practice. Table 4-14.

Stiffness Reduction Factor Tp ‘When an analysis is performed using the effective length method in AISC Specification Appendix Section 7.2, that procedure requires determination of the effective Jength factor, K.A.common method of determining X is through the use of alignment charts provided in the AISC Specification Commentary. When column buckling occurs in the inelastic range, the alignment charts usually give conservative results, For more accurate solutions, inelastic K-factors ean be determined from the alignment chart by using 7p times the elastic modulus of the colurans in the equa- tion for G. The stiffness reduction factor, tp. is the ratio of the tangent modulus, £7 , to the elastic modulus, E. Values are tabulated for steels with Fy = 35 ksi, 36 ksi, 42 ksi, 46 ksi and 50 ksi.
