Dear All,
Kindly, I asked about the Scale factor obtained from SAP buckling analysis for Simple supported Column (attached) , I found it totally different from value determined from Sec. E3 AISC 2010.
Can anyone explain why?
Thanks alot
Kindly,
I wonder if the SAP Buckling analysis gives value of Pcr as determine from E3 in AISC 2010. I tried to make an example for simple beam and applied axial load 1 Kip and i found the Scale Factor obtained from SAP file is bigger than the value of Pcr dermined from AISC 2010 SEC.E3
