KBC 2009 Example 002

The document summarizes an analysis performed with SAP2000 to verify the software's capability to analyze a built-up wide flange member under compression. The analysis checked for section compactness, calculated the warping constant, and determined the member's compression capacity considering slenderness reduction. The SAP2000 results matched the independent hand calculations exactly. The analysis demonstrated the software's accuracy for this type of structural member and loading case.

Q s = 1.0

Since the web is slender,


Take f as F cr with Q = 1.0

therefore compute A eff with reduced effective web width.
