Symbols

P_r = required axial strength determined using LRFD or ASD load combinations, kips (N)
P_c = available axial strength, kips (N)
M_r = required flexural strength, determined using LRFD or ASD load combinations, kip-in. (N-mm)
M_c = available flexural strength, kip- in. (N-mm)

• Design axial strength,

  Mathinline
  body $$ \normalsize P_c =\phi_c P_n $$

  (LRFD)

• Allowable axial strength

  Mathinline
  body $$ \normalsize P_c =P_n/ \Omega_c $$

  (ASD)

• Design flexural strength,

  Mathinline
  body $$ \normalsize M_c =\phi_b M_n $$

  (LRFD)

• Allowable flexural strength

  Mathinline
  body $$ \normalsize M_c =M_n/ \Omega_b $$
