Safety Factor for Allowable Compressive Stress

Go Safety Factor = 5/3+((3*((Effective Length Factor*Effective Column Length)/Radius of Gyration))/(8*Factor for Allowable Stress Design))-((((Effective Length Factor*Effective Column Length)/Radius of Gyration)^3)/(8*Factor for Allowable Stress Design^3))

Allowable Compressive Stress when Slenderness Ratio is Less than Cc

Go Allowable Compression Stress = ((1-((((Effective Length Factor*Effective Column Length)/Radius of Gyration)^2)/(2*Factor for Allowable Stress Design^2)))*Yield Stress of Steel)/Safety Factor

Allowable Compressive Stress when Slenderness Ratio is Greater than Cc

Go Allowable Compression Stress = (12*pi^2*Modulus of Elasticity of Steel)/(23*((Effective Length Factor*Effective Column Length)/Radius of Gyration)^2)

Slenderness Ratio Used for Separation

Go Factor for Allowable Stress Design = sqrt((2*(pi^2)*Modulus of Elasticity of Steel)/Yield Stress of Steel)

Factor for Unbraced Segment of any Cross-Section

Go Factor for Allowable Stress Design = 1986.66/sqrt(Yield Stress of Steel)

Effective Length Factor

Go Effective Length Factor = Effective Column Length/Actual Unbraced Length
