RE: Adjustment Factors Cd for timber column

Gordon,

 

Yeah, we found those but for example the 1.25 applies only to the Lr not to the combination.  We gave up, I used one of my spreadsheet models (used to do everything on those!), and did a hand check.

 

Ps: on another front, when we changed the loads input to "Tributary Area" - the allowable bending stress increased?  Can't figure that one out!

 

Thanks,
Paul Guthrie

Paul,

There  is a column for Cd factors on the load combination tab in both the wood beam and column modules.

My question is regarding EnerCalc: "For wood beam design we are unable to locate the input location for C_D, load duration factor
