AISC LRFD-93 Example 001 PDF

The document describes a verification test of the SAP2000 software by comparing its results to hand calculations for a bending example involving a W18x40 beam under a uniform load. The beam is analyzed for three unsupported lengths and the software outputs are compared to independent calculations, showing good agreement within 1%. Key outputs like member capacity and moment magnification factors match the hand calculations, verifying the software is performing bending analysis correctly.

Non-Uniform Moment Magnification Factor:


For the lateral-torsional buckling limit state, the non-uniform moment magnification
factor is calculated using the following equation:
12.5M max
Cb = Rm ≤ 3.0 Eqn. 1
2.5M max + 3M A + 4 M B + 3M C
where MA = first quarter-span moment, MB = mid-span moment, MC = second quarter-
span moment.
The required moments for Eqn. 1 can be calculated as a percentage of the maximum
mid-span moment. Since the loading is uniform and the resulting moment is symmetric:
