Description
STIFF
Member
length
Spacing in the longitudinal direction of shear
stiffeners for reinforced web elements. It is input in
the current units of length. See section AISI C3.2
TRACK
0
This parameter is used to control the level of detail
in which the design output is reported in the output
file. The allowable values are:
0 - Prints only the member number, section name,
ratio, and PASS/FAIL status.
1 - Prints the design summary in addition to that
printed by TRACK 1
2 - Prints member and material properties in addition
to that printed by TRACK 2.
TSA
1
Specifies whether bearing and intermediate
transverse stiffeners are present. If true, the program
uses the more liberal set of interaction equations in
AISI C3.3.2.
Values:
0 – Beams with un-reinforced webs
1 – Beams with transverse web stiffeners
