AISC 360-10 manual

Information presented on this page is intended to demonstrate the section design convergence that can be achived with SkyCiv. All examples are taken from the Steel Structures Design Manual To AS 4100 (authors Brian Kirke, Iyad Hassan Al-Jamel). Current manual consists description of algorithm of manual calculations.

Design Case Manual SkyCiv
Nominal section capacity Φs, kN 4410.00 4410.00
Nominal member capacity Φc, kN 3706.61 3704.84

 

Example 7.3.6: Checking a Simply Supported Beam with Overhang (members subject to bending)

Design Case Manual SkyCiv
Nominal section moment capacity Φsz, kN-m: Segment (A-B) & Segment (D-E) 309.96 309.96
Nominal member moment capacity Φb, kN-m: Segment (A-B) & Segment (D-E) 248.46 246.90
