Question: ( 3 0 - points ) A W 1 2 x 1 5 2 ( A 9 9 2 steel ) beam - column member

(30-points) A W12x152(A992 steel) beam-column member in a
braced frame (i.e. no sidesway) is subject to service loads shown
in the figure. Cb may be assumed to be 1.0, and bending is about
the strong axis. It is laterally braced only at the supports, and Lx=
Ly=18-ft. Check if the chosen section is adequate by: i) calculate
the axial force (Pu) and moment () acting on the member
without the second order effect, ii) identify the available strength
in the member, iii) calculate the moment and axial amplification
factors to consider P- effects from Appendix 8, and iv) check the
interaction equation. If the section is inadequate, note how.
