Limitations

With the exception of the AISC 360-16 and AISC 360-10 steel design code, the AISC 341-05 code check will always use the AISC 360-05 steel design code to perform any member design capacity calculations, irrespective of the selected code in the Steel Standard Provision mode. That is, if AISC LRFD 3rd is selected in Standard mode but AISC 341-05 LRFD is the selected code in Seismic Mode code, then all member capacities will be calculated using AISC 360-05 LRFD, not AISC LRFD 3rd. Conversely, when AISC 360-10 or AISC 360-16 LRFD is selected in the Standard mode but AISC 341-05 LRFD is selected in Seismic Mode code, then all member capacities will be calculated using AISC 360-10 or AISC 360-16 LRFD respectively.

A few individual checks are not performed. When a check is necessary and is not performed by the program it will be indicated in the output.

It is recommended that P-Delta be performed in lieu of using B2 when performing an AISC 341 design check.
