I am running STAAD.Pro. In the TRACK 2 output for the AISC ASD code, I find some terms that I am not familiar with. Can you tell me what those are?
The terms reported in the TRACK 2 output for AISC ASD are :
AX = Cross section Area
AY : Area used in computing shear stresses along local Y axis
AZ : Area used in computing shear stresses along local Z axis
SY : Elastic Section modulus about local Y axis
SZ : Elastic Section modulus about local Z axis
RY : Radius of gyration about local Y axis
RZ : Radius of gyration about local Z axis
FA : Allowable axial stress. If failure condition involves axial tension, this is the allowable axial tensile stress. If failure condition involves axial compression, this is the allowable axial compressive stress.
fa : Actual axial stress.
FCZ : Allowable bending compressive stress about local Z axis.
FTZ : Allowable bending tensile stress about local Z axis.
FCY : Allowable bending compressive stress about local Y axis
FTY : Allowable bending tensile stress about local Y axis.
fbz : Actual bending stress about local Z axis, used in the design condition
fby : Actual bending stress about local Y axis, used in the design condition.
FV : Allowable shear stress.
Fey : Euler stress for buckling about local Y axis.
Fez : Euler stress for buckling about local Z axis.
DFF : Permissible limit for checking length to deflection ratio.
dff : Actual length to deflection ratio.
