Question: ( 4 0 points ) Determine the LRFD design strength c P n and the ASD allowable strength P n c for a W 1
points Determine the LRFD design strength and the ASD allowable strength for a W
ASTM A column with with a fixed support at top and pinned support at bottom. Make sure you
include units in all your final answers.
a First determine whether the section is "slender" or "nonslender" by calculations.
b Calculate the LRFDASD strengths using the equations of AISC Section E
c Using the critical stress values in Table of the AISC Manual, determine the LRFDASD strengths and
compare with part b
d Repeat the problem using Table of the AISC Manual and compare with parts b and c
e If supports are added to brace the column in the weak axis only at ft and ft from the bottom support,
determine the new LRFDASD strengths using the critical stress values in Table Repeat the problem using
Table of the AISC Manual. Discuss how the added braces affected the column strength.
