Column design properties

As well as the existing design properties of previous versions, the 2017.a version implements options to edit the following properties:

• Sway moment magnifier (s in ACI 318)
  This factor amplifies moments for wind and seismic nature loadcases in concrete columns.
  
• Reduction factor for reducible live loads
  Forces belonging to loadcases with “Reducible live load” nature are multiplied by this coefficient.
  
• Unbraced length for buckling due to bending
  
• Unbraced length for buckling due to torsion
  
• Effective length factor
  
• Non-sway moment magnifier (B1, ANSI/AISC 360-10)
  
• Non-sway moment magnifier (B2, ANSI/AISC 360-10)
  This factor amplifies moments for wind and seismic nature loadcases in steel columns.
