1.5 Short and Braced Column:

For short braced columns of nominal eccentricity and not subjected to significant moments:
N = 0.4fcuAc + 0.75Ascfy le =  lo
For short braced columns supporting an approximately symmetrical arrangement of beams :
N = 0.35fcuAc + 0.67fyAsc
For columns resisting pure axial forces:
Nuz = 0.45fcuAc + 0.87fyAsc
