AISC Allowable stress Increase

[stef.niemczyk]

Dear Artur,

I seem to be having a problem with the 33% Allowable Stress Increase per AISC 9th Edition. Ticking the option doesn't seem to change anything if we check the calculation note post calculation.

I have attached an excel sheet showing the calculaiton results for a same beam. the first one on the left is without secondary stresses and no stress increase. The second on the right is with secondary stresses and with stress increase.

In both cases, the allowable Fa and Fv are the same.

can you check on that and let me know if it's something that I'm not getting right or issue with code check?

thanks

Hi @stef.niemczyk

Could you attach the corresponding Robot model too?

Sure, See Attached. The structure in question is an Offshore Drilling Derrick and we verify the compliance to AISC 9th edition against a set of combination of given loads (Dead, Live and Wind).

The beam I was referring to in the excel file i sent earlier was Beam 266, so you can link to something.

Hope this helps.

best regards

Stephane

Hi @stef.niemczyk

I'm keeping it on my to do list it has to wait till I'm able to meet with the development team. I'm sorry for not being able to provide you with the answer yet but I will update this topic the moment I have any new information.

Hi @stef.niemczyk

The 33% of allowable stress increase applies to wind and seismic loads only

If for bar 266 which you focused on you select e.g. 3019 combination which include a wind load case you can see that there is a difference when you have this option switched off (left) on on (right):

  

When you design against a combination with neither wind nor seismic loads the results are the same (with no stress limit increased) for both sensations (e.g. for )
