Details
Verify the Flexural Buckling strength of an I Section (W14x90) using the LRFD method
Steel Gr. ASTM A992, about X and Y axis with a member length of 30 ft with dead load 140 kips and Live Load 420 kips.
Validation
Strong axis unbraced length, Lx = 360 in
Torsional axis unbraced length Ly = 180 in
Ultimate load, Pu = 1.2(180 kips) + 1.6(420 kips) = 840 kips
Calculation for major axis (X axis)
From Table C-A-7.1 of ref. 1, K = 1.0 for a pinned-pinned condition.
, thus the flange is non-slender.
Slenderness ratio about X axis
Calculate the elastic critical buckling stress:
Calculate the flexural buckling stress:
Compressive strength for flexural buckling along X:
Ratio for flexural buckling strength = 0.906
Calculation for minor axis (Y axis)
, thus the flange is non-slender.
Slenderness ratio about Y axis
Calculate the elastic critical buckling stress:
Calculate the flexural buckling stress:
Compressive strength for flexural buckling along Y:
Ratio for flexural buckling strength = 0.838

***NOTE : AISC 360-16 Design Statement for STAAD.Pro.
*** AXIS CONVENTION ***:
========================
The capacity results and intermediate results in the report follow the notations
and axes labels as defined in the AISC 360-16 code.
The analysis results are reported in STAAD.Pro axis convention and the AISC 360:16
design results are reported in AISC 360-16 code axis convention.
AISC Spec. STAAD.Pro Description
------------ ----------- -------------
X Z Axis typically parallel to the sections principal major axis.
Y Y Axis typically parallel to the sections principal minor axis.
Z X Longitudinal axis perpendicular to the cross section.
SECTION FORCES AXIS MAPPING: -
AISC Spec. STAAD.Pro Description
------------ ----------- -------------
Pz FX Axial force.
Vy FY Shear force along minor axis.
Vx FZ Shear force along major axis.
Tz MX Torsional moment.
My MY Bending moment about minor axis.
Mx MZ Bending moment about major axis.
*** DESIGN MESSAGES ***:
=======================
1. Section classification reported is for the cross section and loadcase that
produced the worst case design ratio for flexure/compression Capacity results.
2. Results for any Capacity/Check that is not relevant for a section/loadcase
based on the code clause in AISC 360-16 will not be shown in the report.
3. Bending results are reported as being "about" the relevant axis (X/Y), while
the results for shear are reported as being for shear forces "along" the axis.
E.g : Mx indicates bending about the X axis, while Vx indicates shear along
the X axis.
*** ABBREVIATIONS ***:
