    This document summarizes the verification of a structural analysis software (ETABS 2013) against hand calculations for an example involving a built-up wide flange member under compression. The example checks for section compactness, calculates warping constants and member capacity with slenderness reduction. The software results exactly match the independent hand calculations, verifying the technical features tested.

    The example is verifying the results of a structural analysis software by comparing the output to an independent hand calculation for the capacity of a built-up steel column under compression.

    The example is calculating the demand capacity ratio for a built-up wide flange column subjected to axial loads.

    The hand calculation involves checking for section compactness, determining the member capacity by calculating the elastic buckling stress, applying section reduction factors, and computing the nominal member strength.

    BUILT UP WIDE FLANGE MEMBER UNDER COMPRESSION
    EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
    A demand capacity ratio is calculated for the built-up, ASTM A572 grade 50,
    column shown below. An axial load of 70 kips (D) and 210 kips (L) is applied to
    a simply supported column with a height of 15 ft.
