Lateral reactions for columns were using terminology and some calculations that had been transferred directly from beams, without considering the different circumstances for columns. This has been corrected as follows:
The section was titled “Maximum Reactions” but refers only to Lateral Reactions. As this might mislead you into thinking that this section is about axial reactions as well, it has been renamed Lateral Reactions.. Note that the diagram has all reactions in it and is appropriately titled “Reactions”.
It was not apparent what load combination the reactions are from. This has been added to the table, to make it consistent with the beam output. It is done separately for L-R and R->L reactions if they both exist.
Negative (right to left) values were not being included in the “unfactored” portion of the output. This was true for unfactored uplift reactions for beams as well, and has been corrected for both.
The self-weight for columns had the same eccentricity as for other loads. It should not have any eccentricity. This created a small horizontal reaction, typically a few pounds at most, but has been removed nonetheless.
