totally agree, analysis results shown were only to verify that buckling is no goning to cause problems, Initial imperfection i cannot estimate at the moment, depends highly on section procured and fabricator engaged, that was reason i was worried about structural buckling limits for...

i know that buckling factor <1 means that member will buckle before the designed load,
the snap shot attached below is for Self weight. (Plz See the Pic...
