    Net Section Factor

    NSF refers to the net section factor used in steel design codes to calculate the ratio of net cross-sectional area to gross area for tension member design, with a default value of 1.0. SLF is the shear lag factor used to determine effective net area by multiplying the net area by this factor, with values listed in the AISC code. NSF is used to calculate net area from gross area, and SLF is then used to calculate effective net area from net area to determine tensile strength for tension rupture in the net section.

    NSF is the Net Section Factor as used in most of the Steel Design Codes of STAAD.

    It is defined
    as the Ratio of Net cross section area / Gross section area for tension member design. The
    default value is 1.0. With specific reference to AISC Unified Code, you may refer the section
    D.3.2.
    SLF is the Shear Lag Factor, as used in Section D.3.3 of AISC Unified Code. This factor is used
    to determine the Effective Net Area by multiplying this factor with Net Area of the Section. Please
    refer Table D3.1 of the code for listing of the prescribed SLF values. In STAAD, the default value
    is 1.0, for SLF parameter. The Effective Net Area is used to determine the Tensile Strength for
    Tensile rupture in the Net Section, as per eqn. D.2.2.
    In nut shell, the Gross Area (Ag) is multiplied by NSF to get the Net Area (An) of the section.
    The Net Area (An) is again multiplied SLF to get the Effective Net Area (Ae) of the Section.
