By Which method,RCDC calculate K factor of column ? For Sway or Non -sway frame alignment chart or else ?
Its applicable to all design codes?
You can get the validation from-
https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki/47981/indian-code---is-456--2000-is-13920-2016
In RCDC, while the column is in sway condition, k is usually shown as 5 . But If i check k manually with the help of an alignment chart of sway frame, then I find less than 5 .
Can you please share the validation link of Sway condition?
