Another column calc

[Don P]

I've put together an explanation or a calc based on the newer column math in the '05 NDS, not really sure which. Tried a different approach, kind of walking through it. This is for a simple, axially loaded column, no side bending load. Let me know if this is an improvement or a ... deprovement  ???. I'll be in and out over the next few days, but figured I'd post it before I lost it.

I've set the example to a 6x6 at 8' long and it passes, creep the length up to 120" and notice what happens to the stability of the column.
