• 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…

    Hello, I have a model in which there is a beam divided in 3 parts because of intermediary steel members (32, 73, 78). As this beam is only restricted laterally and not vertically I gave length (Ly) in vertical direction as combined length of the beam…
