&lt;p&gt;The effective lengths for segmented members are supposed to represent the effective slenderness of the segment based upon the overall buckling capacity of the member. The buckling load needs to be calculated numerically for segmented members since the section properties (especially ry and rz) vary over the length of the member. SACS calculates the buckling load for the overall member and then calculates the effective slenderness for the segment using this equation:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
