NCEES SE Practice Exam mistakes?
(OP)
I found this post so and it didn't answer my question so I probably need some clarification on this one. http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=383898. This is in regard to problem #120. I was curious as to why the author did not apply AISC eq (4-1) to solve for an equivalent (KL)y_eq. This would govern the design and it would follow a similar example from "AISC Design Examples 2014" ex. E.4B
TIA.
TIA.

To your concern about KLy_eq vs KLy....see page 4-4 it states "to determine the available strength in axial compression, the table should be entered as the larger of KLy and KLy_eq
KLy = 15'(1.0) = 15'
KLy_eq = 15'(2.0)/(3.07) = 9.77'
Therefore KLy would be the governing value you enter table 4-22 with.
Looked at this quickly so hopefully this is correct and what you were looking for.
