The strength reduction factor may also be modified.Ĥ.

This command now enables the user to change the load case factors used to compute Beta(d). The Unbraced Factors command is changed to Factors (under Slenderness). Any user-input bars are saved with the input data file.ģ. This command allows the user to customize the reinforcing bars that the program uses. A new command, Options/Rebar Database, is added. These factors are now input using the Slenderness/Factors command (see 3 below).Ģ. Also, the Dead and Live load factors used to compute Beta(d) for slender columns are now independent of the defined load combinations. All list boxes (Factored Loads, Service Loads, Axial Loads, and Irregular Reinforcement) caused a crash if the maximum number of items in a list box was entered and an attempt to combination to combination. If more than 15 factored loads are input using the Loads/Factored command, the computed capacities table lists garbled results after the 15th load and printing the results file causes a crash.ħ. A crash occured if a user attempts to input a load value that has more than 5 digits.Ħ. For biaxial runs, the interpolation method to obtain the interaction diagrams yielded incorrect results for columns with very large (or very small) width/depth ratio.ĥ.

Very small non-zero moment causes "Cannot Converge." error.Ĥ. Divide by zero error when trying to design a section that cannot be designed because of bar spacing restrictions.ģ. Trying to start IRRCOL after executing a DOS program or DOS session in Windows gave a "Cannot Transfer Data to IRRCOL" message and the user had to restart Windows to remedy the situation.Ģ.
