For Minor-Axis: (As per Section 8.2.1.2)

Critical Ratio for Shear = 1000/354283 = 0.003 < 0.6

Check for Section Strength to the combined effects of loading (As per Section 9.3.1)
Axial strength = Nd = 1219545.455 N

Mndz(1) = 8.24E+07 N.mm > Mdz
Thus, Mndz = 75074791 N.mm
Since the section is a Channel-section, as per table 17, Clause 9.3.1.1
α1' = 5.58E-02 < 1
Thus, α1 = 1 and α2 = 2
