Clean Columns V3.1 was developed to return the lightest column section which can be used without stiffeners and/or doubler plates to develop a specified percentage of a selected beam's plastic moment capacity, based on the criteria in AISC Design Guide Series #13. The design of the column for axial load capacity is not considered.
1) Verify the Following Assumptions: The effects of composite floor construction are not included in analysis Wind or low seismic applications (Structure is designed to meet the requirements in the LRFD Specification with no special seismic detailing) dm = d - tf (used to convert the beam moment into flange forces) Panel-zones remain nominally in the elastic range N = beam flange thickness (w = 0, ie. no reinforcing fillet weld included) Welded flange or flange plate connections only. May be overly conservative for end-plate moment connections 2) Provide the Following Parameters: Fyc = 50 ksi Column Specified Minimum Yield Strength Fyb = Vus = Puc = Pub = Mu = 50 ksi 45 kips 1200 kips Beam Specified Minimum Yield Strength Factored Column Story Shear Factored Column Axial Load
