AWC 2012 NDS Manual For Wood Construction 3.7-1, Column Stability Factor. |
|
The following is for calculating the column stability factor for a wood column
square or round. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reference design value for compression (Fc - psi or kPa) |
|
|
Minimum Modulus of Elasticity (Emin - psi or kPa) |
|
|
Effective length of the column (le - in or cm) |
|
|
Dimension of the face of the column (d - in or cm) |
|
|
Load duration factor (Cd - for ASD only) |
|
|
Wet service factor (Cm) |
|
|
Temperature factor (Ct) |
|
|
Incising factor (Ci) |
|
|
Size factor (Cf) |
|
|
Buckling stiffness factor (CT) |
|
|
Time effect factor (TEF - for LRFD only) |
