For Sidesway Uninhibited (sway frames), the theoretical formula for $G_A=0, G_B=0.5$ involves solving the transcendental equation: $\fracG_A G_B (\pi/K)^2 - 366(G_A + G_B) = \frac\pi/K\tan(\pi/K)$. This is complex. Using the alignment chart visual inspection (standard solution): With $G_A=0$ and $G_B=0.5$, the $K$ value typically falls around 1.3 . (Compare: If both ends were pinned, $K=1.0$; if both fixed, $K=0.7$ for non-sway, but sway changes everything). Structural Stability Chen Solution Manual
