Model
- Each shape built from its AISC-tabulated properties; lengths, bracing and Fy as in the example
Comparison
| Example | Strength | Book | Sutranet | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| E.1C W14×132 column | φPn (kip) | 892 | 893.2 | 0.13% |
| E.11 Pipe 10 Std column | φPn (kip) | 221 | 222.0 | 0.45% |
| F.1-1B W18×50, yielding | φMn (kip-ft) | 379 | 378.75 | none |
| F.1-2B W18×50, inelastic LTB | φMn (kip-ft) | 305 | 305.51 | 0.17% |
| F.6 HSS 3.5×3.5×1/8 | φMn (kip-ft) | 7.21 | 7.238 | 0.39% |
| F.9B Pipe 8 x-Strong | φMn (kip-ft) | 81.4 | 81.36 | none |
| F.11A L4×4×1/4 angle, LTB | φMn (kip-ft) | 2.91 | 2.904 | 0.21% |
| G.1B W24×62, strong-axis shear | φVn (kip) | 306 | 305.73 | none |
- The book prints three significant figures, so differences up to about 0.5% include its rounding.
Reproduce
This is a closed-form or table check with no project file; it runs in the solver test aisc_design_examples.rs (sutranet-analysis).
Automated test: aisc_design_examples.rs (sutranet-analysis), run on every change.
