Question:
Does RFEM check the applicability limits of AISI Table B4.1-1?
Answer:
The safety factor, Ω or resistance factor, Φ used in chapter E through H are only appropriate for sections that comply with the limitations in Table B4.1-1. For all other sections that exceed any of the limits, higher safety factors, Ω or lower resistance factors, Φ are applied according to section A1.2(C). In RFEM, this limitation is checked by default. The user has the option to deactivate this check in the Strength Configuration.
