Is Table 4-22 in the AISC Steel Construction Manual applicable for members with slender elements? I ask because I did a RISA analysis of a WT7x15(compact web and slender flange) and it didn't match the allowable compression value I got using Table 4-22. Also, if this is in fact not applicable to members with slender elements, is there anywhere in the code that actually states this because I can't find it anywhere.

I don't know if it's stated anywhere, but yes, values from Table 4-22 would need to be adjusted per AISC E7 for members with slender elements.
