Important to note that ACI indicates Mu2 will be largest factored moment while Mu1 will be
Mu 1
the smallest. NSCP 2015 gives us lil. Explanation on how to use 34+12 and 0.6-0.4
Mu 2
Mu 1
by stating “where Ml /M2 is negative if the column is bent in single curvature, and
Mu 2
positive if bent in double curvature;” section ;406.6.4.5.3. Therefore the first table above is
just a raw data and to be finalized in each given table in every pages. Some of Mu2 value
from grasp has negative sign but according to ACI “M1 is the smaller factored end moment
in a compression member. It has a plus sign if the member is bent in single curvature (C
shaped) and a negative sign if the member is bent in double curvature (S shaped). M2 is the
larger factored end moment in a compression member, and it always has a plus sign. In this
equation, shall not be taken larger than 40, according to ACI Code 10.10.1”(RCD by
Marcormac p.325)(delete this paragraph)
