modification factor for steel member
modification factor for steel member
(OP)
hi everybody
i want to ask about the modification factor for steel beams and columns when i used etabs program or what else
as per lrfd 99 and where i can get it in the code?
for example for concrete column as per aci 318-99
we make torsion factor 0.2 and moment of inertia direct 3 and 2 is 0.7
but for steel member i have not idea
any suggestion?

when you design RC you design sections as cracked section according to ultimate limit state design so moment of inertias of all the RC members are lesser in the reality than that in the computer model which gives lower values of deflections and relatively wrong distribution of straining actions to members
but in structural steel no cracking occurs and the sections works in it's full inertia
