07 - Concrete - Column - Slenderness Flowchart - Equations - ACI 318-14

This flowchart outlines the steps for determining the effects of column slenderness in structural design. It first determines whether a 1st order or sidesway analysis is required, then whether slenderness effects can be neglected. If not neglected, it determines where to apply slenderness effects - at the column ends or along the column length. The applicable analysis methods include moment magnification, elastic 2nd order analysis, or inelastic 2nd order analysis. Key parameters such as effective stiffness, slenderness ratios, and magnification factors are also defined in the chart.
