ASD 1989 vs 2005 Slender Compression Elements
(OP)
Anyone have any advice on the nightmarish task of determining allowable stresses per the 1989 AISC Code (Green Book) Appendix B.
This appears to be a iterative proceed of monumental proportions.
The Black book seems a bit simpler as it says you can use "Fy" in lieu of "f".
Can this same simplification can be made for the Green Book?

In practice, I have sometimes assumed that f is equal 0.6*Fy. I thought that I had originally gotten that assumption from the commentary. But, am having trouble finding it.
I may have gotten from the SSRC guide, or (more likely) I may have just decided to use 0.6*Fy because that represents an upper bound on that stress value. The commentary does say that this assumption can be unnecessarily conservative.

There is no commentary on App. B is there?

I can't tell from reading the commentary if it is permissible to use 0.6FY for "f"....do you know if it is?
