Dear johnbridge
I done a momemt frame design, 4 beams and 4 columns, sap2000 had calculate the effective length factor, but the results numbers was strange!
for columns:
Kmajor= 2.2
Kminor=2
Dear johnbridge
Up to your experience, wich are the few case that i must modify K
Another question about sway or not sway, do you mean if i realesed the frame(not sway), not released(sway)
Thank you
By exemple
If i have a column wich is fixed end in one side and free from the athor side
Did sap2000 will calculate K for this columna as K=2 or i must put it by steel design-overwrite
Thank you
Hello
I want to ask you, did sap2000 make the calculation of K by himself??
Or i must to set K manualy for evry frame( by design, overwrite, k major and k minor)
Thank you
