I was going through the staad output. In that while using WT sections, I came to know that axial tension rupture capacity is not multiplied with LRFD or ASD factors. Why is it so? For W sections its showing correct but for WT its not. abc.std

I was running a design for a WT vertical brace and found what I believe to be a mistake in the calculation of the shear lag factor, U, for tensile rupture. I have (7) rows of bolts connecting the WT flange to the gusset. From AISC Table D3.1 I would expect…
