 Slenderness Effects
-
CSICOL can perform magnified-moment calculations based on ACI-318-02.
CSICOL also includes options to input detailed loads for slenderness
calculations or to input design actions directly.
CSICOL accepts input for
the detailed computation of the Moment Magnification Factor in accordance
with ACI-318.
-
Various checks are available to determine sway or non-sway conditions.
CSICOL checks whether
a column under a specific load combination is Sway or Non-Sway, using
various code specified methods.
-
CSICOL automatically determines the Effective Length Factor for braced
and unbraced situations for a variety of framing and support conditions.
Column framing conditions
are used to determine effective length factors for computing slenderness
effects.
-
Determination of Effective Length Factor is based on relative stiffness
of bracing elements or support conditions.
Several cases of end framing
condition are considered for computing effective length factor for frames.
