Compression
Limit for nonslender section; r_c = 1.40 (E / Fy) = 33.716
The section is nonslender in compression
Flexure
Limit for compact flange; pf_f = 1.12 (E / Fy) = 26.973
Limit for noncompact flange; rf_f = 1.40 (E / Fy) = 33.716
Limit for compact web; pw_f = 2.42 (E / Fy) = 58.281
Limit for noncompact web; rw_f = 5.70 (E / Fy) = 137.274
The section is noncompact in flexure about the major axis
The section is noncompact in flexure about the minor axis
