ETABS Composite Column Design Verification

The document summarizes an example problem from the AISC Steel Construction Manual testing the compression capacity of a composite column design in ETABS. The example analyzes a 14-foot long composite column made of an HSS section filled with concrete. ETABS results for required and available strength are compared to independent hand calculations, showing no difference. The computer file and hand calculations are included, and the conclusion is that ETABS results show acceptable comparison to the independent calculations.
