AISC 360-16 Compression Example

The document describes a verification test of the SAP2000 software by comparing its results for a built-up wide flange column under compression to independent hand calculations. The SAP2000 model analyzes the compactness of the section, calculates warping constants and member capacity with slenderness reduction. It is found to match the independent hand calculations exactly, validating the computer model.
