FAQ

What is the Computed Force?
Computed Force delivered by the flange of a moment connection plate multiplied by 5/3 (dead and live loads only) and 4/3 (live and dead loads in conjunction with wind & earthquake forces). Computed Force is usually measured using the Kilonewton for Force. Note that the value of Computed Force is always positive.
Can the Computed Force be negative?
No, the Computed Force, measured in Force cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Computed Force?
Computed Force is usually measured using the Kilonewton[kN] for Force. Newton[kN], Exanewton[kN], Meganewton[kN] are the few other units in which Computed Force can be measured.
