D1.B.2.2 Design Parameters
The following table contains a list of parameters and their default values.
| Parameter Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CB | 1.0 | Cb value used for computing allowable bending stress per Chapter F of the AISC specifications. |
| CMZ | 0.85 | Cm value in local z-axis. Used in the interaction equations in Chapter H of the AISC specifications. |
| EOPEN | 1.5e + b |
Distance from the ecenter of the last hole to the end of the member. 1.5e + b is the minimum allowable value. Any value greater than or equal to this minimum will be used by the program. See Figure 2.13 for the definition of e and b. |
| FYLD | 36 ksi | Yield stress of steel. |
| RATIO | 1.0 | Permissible maximum ratio of actual load to section capacity. Any input value will be used to change the right hand side of the governing interaction equations in Chapter H and elsewhere in the AISC specifications. |
| SOPEN | 1.5e + b |
Distance from the start of the member to the center of the first hole. 1.5e + b is the minimum allowable value. Any value greater than or equal to this minimum will be used by the program. See Figure 2.13 for the definition of e and b. |
| TRACK | 0 |
Used to control the level of description of design output. 0 = Detailed output suppressed 1 = Detail output included |
| UNL | Member Length | Unsupported length of compression flange for calculating allowable bending stress. |
