Steel Column Design Results
Steel column design results and failure conditions for steel columns are displayed in the Steel Columns dialog. The PMM ratios are shown in the Steel Columns dialog. In the Details tab, material and section properties, internal force values, axial compressive strength, bending moment strength in strong and weak axis, design variables and lateral stiffness coefficients (K coefficient, L factor, etc.) and PMM ratio are displayed.
Location of Steel Columns Dialog
After the analysis is done, you can access it by clicking the Column command under the Steel Design heading in the ribbon menu Analysis and Design tab.
Steel Columns
Specifications |
---|
ID It is the name of the steel column in the plan. |
Section It is the section used in a steel column. |
Materiel It is the material used in steel column. |
PMM Ratio It is the ratio of requirement to section capacity (PMM Ratio = Need/Capacity). |
Combo. It is the load combination that produces the most unfavorable PMM ratio. |
Maj-Shr-Ratio It is the ratio of the shear force in the major direction of the section to the capacity in the major direction. |
Combo It is the load combination that produces the most unfavorable stress ratio in the major direction. |
Min-Shr-Ratio It is the ratio of the shear force in the minor direction of the section to the capacity in the minor direction. |
Combo It is the load combination that produces the most negative stress ratio in the minor direction. |
Check It is an information box whose sign changes according to the presence or absence of negativity in the section. |
Details Design details are shown in detail. |
Previous The cursor moves to the previous line. |
Next The cursor goes to the next line. |
OK It saves the changes made and closes the dialog. |
Cancel Closes the dialog without saving the changes made. |
Summary Information The summary information about the line where the cursor is located is given in the name of the dialog in Layer, pose format. For example BASE STORY, SC001 |
Using the Shift key In this tab, you can select more than one row with the Shift key, enter a value by double-clicking any cell whose value is open to change, and make that value apply to all selected rows. |
Using the Ctrl key Ctrl key selects the lines in between one by one. |
