Calculate Column Stability Factor for Wood Column

AWC 2012 NDS Manual For Wood Construction 3.7-1, Column Stability Factor.

Reference design value for compression (Fc)

Minimum Modulus of Elasticity (Emin)

Effective length of the column (le)

Dimension of the face of the column (d)

Load duration factor (Cd)

Wet service factor (Cm)

Temperature factor (Ct)

Incising factor (Ci)

Size factor (Cf)

Buckling stiffness factor (CT)

Time effect factor (TEF)

Result

Column Stability Factor, Cp(ASD)

Column Stability Factor, Cp(LRFD)
