The W12 \(\times 45\) structural A-36 steel column supports an axial load of 80 kip in addition to an eccentric load of \(P=60\) kip. Determine if the column fails based on the AISC equations of Sec. 13.6 and Eq. 13-30. Assume that the column is fixed at its base, and at its top it is free to sway in the \(x-z\) plane while it is pinned in the \(y-z\) plane.
