two "k" values listed in3rd ed AISC manual?
(OP)
Gents, this is probably a dumb question but I don't understand why there are two "k" values listed in the steel tables for wide flanges in the 3rd AISC manual. One value is decimal and one is fractional, and they aren't equal. Can someone explain this? There must be a logical explanation. Which value should be used for detailing? Thanks

A confession. Up to very recently I have been using the green book (ASD 9th ed) (Sacre bleu!) so when this change waa first made I was not aware of it.
