ANSI/AISC 360-10 Code check
The beam elements are checked according to the regulations given in
ANSI/AISC 360-00
Specifications for Structural Steel Buildings
2010, Second printing 2012.
The steel code check can be executed according to either ASD or LRFD provisions.
The cross section is classified according to Table B4.1a. for axial compression and Table B4.1b. for flexure.
The member is checked on following criteria:
- Tension : Chapter D
- Compression : Chapter E
- Flexural members :Chapter F
- Shear : Chapter G
- Combined forces :Chapter H
