Hi everyone, I use SAP2000 structural analysis program and I was looking for a section, I started with an "I" section girder. A 150x12 mm flange and 376x8mm web. According to this program, this sections is slender but I calculated that this section is compact. I am using the B4.1 table of the AISC specification. Am I wrong or is the program? Thanks for your comments
