WIDE FLANGE MEMBER UNDER BENDING EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION The frame object bending strengths are tested in this example. A continuous column is subjected to factored moment Mx = 1000 kN-m. This example was tested using the NZS 3404-1997 steel frame design code. The design capacities are compared with independent hand calculated results. GEOMETRY, PROPERTIES AND LOADING
