Problem Description
In the joint capacity checks for SMF concrete columns, the program uses the moment capacity associated with the lowest axial force from all load combinations. This can be unconservative, however. For cases where the factored axial force is always large, the largest factored axial load will yield the lowest nominal moment capacity.
Solution
We are working on a fix for this issue.
