• Why IS Code 800-2007 LSD fails Ratio INFINITY, while AISC 360-10 ASD passed Beam with Ratio 0.44? Taper beam

    1) Design check by IS Code 800-2007 LSD fails gives result of Bending Ratio = “INFINITY”, which passes with AISC 360-10 ASD Ratio 0.44! Also IS 800 code output does not give any ratio in both major, minor axis! 2) Is this 12 mm Flange thickness is critical…
  • Is UNB/UNT/UNL linked to effective length factors Ky and Kz in STAADPRO?

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could provide some clarity on the use of UNL (UNB/UNT) in the case of cantilever members. What I know so far is that Ky and Kz would have some typical factor of 2 or 2.1 for cantilever members, and this impacts the…
