Does anyone know in ETABS column design how column unbraced length is calculated? Does it automatically take the slab thickness into consideration? Looks like the program does not consider the slab thickness but rather, simply take it as floor height?

It does take the slab thickness into consideration for calculating unbraced length of columns(as far as I know).
How did you deduced that its not considering floor thickness in to consideration?
