Sizer outputs a table indicating the KD factors used for each load combination. For columns, it does so in each direction of loading. If the permanent load factor is used for any load combination, it outputs another table for that load combination giving the factor for each combination of span and design criterion, along with the corresponding D/Ps value.
The KD factor table for beams is shown below, followed by a sample table for an individual load combination.
