(25 pts) Using LRFD determine the maximum service load Q (kips)( Q is a live load) at the mid-height of the beam-column shown that is part of a braced frame (BF) system. Assume the member is hinged with respect to bending in both x and y directions at top and bottom. Additionally, lateral support occurs in the weak direction at mid-height. Axial compression service dead load is 100 kips and the live load is 150 kips. The section is W12 x136 and A36 steel. Please determine C_b and use it to help your beam-column capacity.
