Question: ( 4 0 - points ) A 1 4 - ft long W 1 0 x 5 4 section is part of an unbraced frame

(40-points) A 14-ft long W10x54 section is part of an unbraced frame (i.e. sidesway allowed). A
first-order analysis has produced the following loads:
Pnt=70-k,Plt=28-k
Mntx=46ft-k,Mltx=18ft-k
Mnty=18-ft-k,Mlty=6ft-k
The following additional information is also available about the frame:
Cmx=Cmy=0.85;Pstory=1604-k; the ratio of PmfPstory=0.333; the story shear, H=33.4-k;
and the drift indices are (HL)x=0.002 and (HL)y=0.0034. Assume Kx=1.31 and Ky=
1.25.
Using LRFD, determine whether the W10x54 section is adequate for the given loads using the
Approximate Analysis method of Appendix 8. Be sure to calculate the moment and axial
amplification factors to consider both P- AND P- effects.
