Question: 1 . ( 1 5 pts ) A building column in the upper story is subject to the following loads ( all in compression )

1.(15 pts) A building column in the upper story is subject to the following loads (all in compression):
Dead load =115 kips
Floor live load =50 kips
Roof live load =25 kips
Snow =40 kips
a. If load and resistance factor design (LRFD) is used, determine the factored load (required
strength) to be used in the design of the column. Which AISC load combination controls? Hint:
Make sure showing calculation details for all 7 load combinations.
b. What is the required nominal strength of the column for a resistance factor of 0.90?
c. If allowable strength design (ASD) is used, determine the required load capacity (required
strength) to be used in the design of the column. Which AISC load combination controls? Hint:
Make sure showing calculation details for all 10 load combinations.
d. What is the required nominal strength of the column for a safety factor \Omega of
