When designing a bolted brace connection, I'm not able to follow some of the internal calculations for the controlling limit state of "Axial-flexure interaction of tab and gusset plates"
This is the configuration
This is the limit state I can't follow specifically the K and L factor derivation - can you please explain/show how these are calculated?
If you change the extension on the below file back to .rcnx it is a model with this connection in it.

Thanks.
