The document appears to show calculations for the strength of a beam and column using the Direct Strength Method (DSM) as well as checks on the beam-column interaction.

Calculations are being made to determine the nominal flexural and axial strengths of the beam and column based on lateral-torsional buckling, local buckling, and distortional buckling resistances according to DSM sections 1.2.1 and 1.2.2.

Design checks are being made to verify that the beam and column meet the prequalified limits of DSM sections 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2. Allowable design strengths are also calculated.
