McEngr- I'd like to help track down the reason for the difference you've found between design examples. Can you provide a reference to the SEAOC design example that is checking second order effects and the similar AISC example that is not?Shouldn't the AISC manual be checking all members for second order magnification effects? Seaoc is doing this and I believe this is an oversight by the authors of the manual. Can someone confirm?
