D8.B.11 Tabulated Results of Steel Design

For code checking or member selection, the program produces the result in a tabulated fashion. The items in the output table are explained as follows:

MEMBER: the member number for which the design is performed
TABLE: the INDIAN steel section name which has been checked against the steel code or has been selected.
RESULT: prints whether the member has PASSED or FAILed. If the RESULT is FAIL, there will be an asterisk (*) mark in front of the member number.
CRITICAL COND: the section of the IS:800 code which governs the design.
RATIO: prints the ratio of the actual stresses to allowable stresses for the critical condition. Normally a value of 1.0 or less will mean the member has passed.
LOADING: provides the load case number which governs the design.
FX, MY, and MZ: provide the axial force, moment in local y-axis and moment in local z-axis respectively. Although STAAD does consider all the member forces and moments (except torsion) to perform design, only FX,MY and MZ are printed since they are the ones which are of interest, in most cases.
LOCATION: specifies the actual distance from the start of the member to the section where design forces govern.

Note: If the parameter TRACK is set to 1.0, the program will block out part of the table and will print allowable bending stresses in compression (FCY & FCZ) and tension (FTY & FTZ), allowable axial stress in compression (FA), and allowable shear stress (FV). When the parameter TRACK is set to 2.0 for all members parameter code values are as shown in the following example.
