I am using RISA 3D to generate the member forces. From there we have a spreadsheet created to check the various sections based upon the ASCE 48. The main purpose of the question is that we are trying to determine how closely our results would match that of PLS-POLE and if we need to further...
Within the ASCE 48 there are provisions to check the local buckling against an allowable compressive stress based on w/t. There is also a section based on truss members, that per the definition is a member that is designed to only withstand axial forces, that takes into account the unbraced...
