Slenderness Effects for Columns in Non-Sway Frame - Moment Magnification Method (CSA A23.3-19)
Evaluate slenderness effect for columns in a non-sway frame multistory reinforced concrete building (Q is computed to be much less than 0.05) by designing a two-story high column in the middle of an atrium opening at the second-floor level. The design forces obtained from a first-order analysis are provided in the design data section below. The story height is 4.3 m. it is assumed that the column only resists gravity loads. Compare the calculated results with exact values from spColumn engineering software program from StructurePoint.
