Product Description
The K factor calculations for a two-story rigid steel frame structure according to the specifications in the AISC Steel Construction Manual 360-10. This calculation package determines the effective length factors for column buckling analysis in the major and minor building directions.
The frame consists of:
- IPE400 lower columns
- HE200A upper columns
- HE300A right beam
- IPE300 left beam
Columns are assumed fixed at the base.
K factor calculations performed:
- Summation of beam stiffness per AISC C-C2-1
- Summation of column stiffness per AISC C-C2-1
- Calculation of GA ratio per AISC C-C2-1
- Determination of K factors per AISC table C-C2-1
The provided calculations follow the specifications of the AISC Steel Construction Manual for determining K factors. This complete analysis provides K factors needed for column buckling checks and is ready to use for your steel building project
