I think I am getting confused between steel approximate second order analysis and concrete. Codes: AISC360 and ACI318
In Steel:
"Braced Frame or Nonsway":
Required Axial Strength, Pr=Pns
Required Moment Strength, Mr=B1*Mns
"sway or moment frame":
Required Axial Strength, Pr=Pns+B2Ps
Required Moment Strength, Mr=B1*Mns+B2*Ms
In Concrete:
"Braced Frame or Nonsway" and columns are slender:
Required Axial Strength, Pr=Pns
Required Moment Strength, Mr=dns*Mns (Section 10.10.6)
"sway or moment frame":
Required Axial Strength, Pr=Pns+Ps
Required Moment Strength, Mr=Mns+ds*Ms (Section 10.10.7)
Is this correct?
Differences:
1. Axial load in concrete is not magnified in concrete.
2. For a sway frame, steel design uses nonsway magnifier B1 and sway magnifier B2. Concrete uses only a nonsway magnifier for nonsway and only a sway magnifier for sway.
Thanks!
