What is Load-Reduction Factor for Column Equivalence about?

This document determines a load-reduction factor to make a column fixed at the bottom and pinned at the top equivalent to a pin-pin column. It is shown that a factor of 0.563 achieves this equivalence by reducing the wind load by 1/3 and increasing the resulting pin-pin moment by 1.6. This produces a wind load that is 5.2% lower for a pin-pin column compared to a fixed-pinned column with a factor of 0.56. While the strength is reduced by 10% using a strength reduction factor of 0.9, the use of a load factor
