KLL = 2

Tributary Area Influence Area

 The total area
supported by
all the
members
supported by
the member in
question.
 Determine KLL
for the girder
that spans
from A1 to B2.

Influence Area

KLL = 2
 Tributary
Area = 1/3 of
Total Area

Influence Area
= the Total Area

KLL = 3
 AT must be
determined by
analytical means:

AT = 130 sqft
 The Influence
Area is the whole
system:
KLL AT= 520 sqft
 KLL = 4.00
