Dashed Lines in Moment charts
Dashed Lines in Moment charts
(OP)
Im looking at the AISC Design capacity tables for structural steel Vol 1 (Australia).
Some curves in the effective length vs Design member moment capacity charts are dashed and some are full lines. Yet there is no legend anywhere that shows their meaning.
Can anyone tell me what they mean ?

"When the plotted curve is solid, the W-shape for that curve is the lightest cross-section for a given combination of available flexural strength and unbraced length. When the plotted curve is dashed, a lighter W-shape than that for the plotted curve exists."
