Calculated Parameters

Note the format of the calculated parameters is divided into two sections: Section Capacity and Member Capacity.

SettingDescription
Load Case: This is the Load Case, which resulted in the worst combination of axial in combination with bending. See the Technical Notes (Chapter 3) for a description of the load cases.
Section Capacity: The section capacity includes the actual and allowable stresses for AS4100 and certain parameters used in the checking section capacity at the section. The nomenclature of the variables is that used in the AS4100 Specifications.

The results of the interaction equations are shown for each of the Nominal Section Capacity, Uniaxial Bending and Biaxial bending.

Member Capacity: The member capacity includes the actual and allowable stresses for AS4100 and certain parameters used in the checking member capacity at the section. The nomenclature of the variables is that used in the AS4100 Specifications.

δb or δs used to account for the p-δ effect described in Chapter 4.4 of the specifications.

The results of the interaction equations are shown for each of the Nominal Section Capacity, In-plane Capacity, Out-of-plane Capacity and Biaxial bending.
