AISC

The AISC Member Code Check report lists the results of the ASD and LRFD Code Check for an individual member..

In the output, standard nomenclature is used. The x- and y subscripts indicate the strong and weak axis, respectively. In many cases the term Minor and Major axis are used. Major axis refers to the strong axis of the member, and minor to the weak axis.

For columns and braces the member forces at both the top and bottom are shown. For beams, only the controlling member forces are shown, with the associated segment indicated.

The controlling load combination and the corresponding member forces and stresses (ASD) or capacities (LRFD) are shown for both shear and flexure/axial force conditions. The member is controlled by the greater of the Shear Check results and the Interaction Equation results.

The curvature of the member, either single or double, is listed for the Cm calculation when applicable.

In lieu of interaction equation results, slender members are indicated as such.
