Web-Tapered Cantilever Frame Design Based on AISC-ASD 9th, Appendix F

DESIGN CRITERIA
1. IN ORDER TO QUALIFY UNDER THIS DESIGN,
THE FLANGES SHALL BE OF EQUAL AND
CONSTANT AREA. (APP. F7.1.b, page 5-102)
2. DIAPHRAGM IS NOT BRACING MEMBER, SINCE L IS
DIFFERENT WITH l in F1.3, page 5-47.
3. TOP END FORCES, P & M, SHOULD INCLUDE
IMPACT FACTOR, 1.25, IF THEY ARE FROM MOVABLE
COVER. (A4.2, page 5-29)
