... the following embellishes (and maybe better explains) the column capacity stuff we were covering in class today.
On the board I wrote our design check as being ... is f_c = P / A < = F_c' ...?
When we use a capacity table our design check is essentially the same thing - except the whole `equation' is multiplied by the member cross section area.
Thus, our check is ... is P (applied load) < = P (published allowable capacity).
As I pointed out in class, and below ... the published allowable capacities already incorporate the Column Stability factor.
