Tubular Section resistance factors with Piles


Product(s):SACS
Version(s):23
Area:PSI

Problem

I am performing a PSI analysis using ISO 19902 code. Where can I define the resistance factors for the piles?

Solution

The resistance factors for tubular or non-tubular sections can be defined in CODE IS or RFLRFD lines but that input is valid for modelled elements only and WILL NOT affect the pile UC calculation. PSI performs its own UC calculation. This can also be concluded from the fact that module name mentioned on the top-right side of the page where this table is printed is PSI.

At this moment, PSI does not support changing ISO resistance factors for pile UC calculation.
