AISC/LRFD Specification Table C-C2.1 K Values For Columns

This document contains information from the 1999 spring semester course 1.51 Design of Steel Structures at MIT, including a table from the AISC/LRFD specification with theoretical and recommended design K values for steel columns under different buckling conditions. The table provides K values accounting for the buckled shape of the column and whether its ends have fixed or free rotation and translation.
