Calculated Parameters

The calculated parameters include the actual and allowable stresses for ASD 9th and capacities for AISC 360-16 (ASD and LRFD), AISC 360-10 (ASD and LRFD), AISC 360-05 (ASD and LRFD) and LRFD 3rd, and certain parameters used in the calculation of the allowable values. The nomenclature of the variables is that used in the AISC Specifications.

ASD 9th, LRFD 3rd: Beta1x and Beta1y refer to the B1 multiplier used in the approximate second order analysis procedure described in the LRFD Specifications (see Chapter C, Section C1). For LRFD, the controlling load combination is also shown.

AISC 360-16 (ASD and LRFD), AISC 360-10 (ASD and LRFD), 360-05 (ASD and LRFD): B1x and B1y refer to the B1 modifier used to account for the P-δ effect described in the specifications (for AISC 360-16 and AISC 360-10 see Appendix 8, Sect. 8.2.1; for AISC 360-05 see Sect. C2.1b). The controlling load combination is also shown.
