W-Shape Combined Axial + Biaxial Bending Check

1 · Input data

Every parameter below is required. Selecting a W-shape reads its section properties straight out of the AISC Shapes Database; the other parameters are entered by hand. Take the three required strengths from the same load combination and the same member station, and use the same design basis for demand and capacity. Press Solve the combined check when the card is complete: if anything is missing or malformed the page opens a pop-up naming each parameter and computes nothing.

Filter shapes

W-shape

F_y — specified minimum yield stress (ksi)

E — modulus of elasticity (ksi)

G — shear modulus of elasticity (ksi)

K — effective length factor

L — unbraced length of the member (ft)

C_b — moment-gradient factor (1.0 for uniform moment)

L_b — unbraced length of the compression flange (ft)

Design basis

Required axial compression P_r (kips)

Required major-axis moment M_rx (kip-ft)

Required minor-axis moment M_ry (kip-ft)

No solution yet — complete every input in the card above and press Solve the combined check. This card stays empty until a solution is computed, and it is emptied again the moment any input changes, so a displayed solution always belongs to the inputs on screen.
