SAP2000 buckling Pcr

[sap2070]

Hello friends,
Do not forget to divide buckling members to divide into more then 2 parts (4 is good) to get the actual Pcr.
and i expect you have already choosen the load case as "buckling" from drop-down menu

Any comments?

I will be glad if you have any documents about calculation of mill buildings which carry overhead cranes.

Best regards,

That's right, column should be broken at least at one intermediate joint in order to account for their buckling.
