A column $(b_c$:$=18$ in $,h_c$:$=18$ in $)$ with a clear height of $L_{u.c}$:$=12ft$ frames into

beams with cross section of $b_b$:$=16$ in $h_b$:$=32$ in with clear span length of $L_{u.b}$:$=32ft$

The moment diagram for the column is shown below. Indicate if slenderness effects can be

neglected according to the provisions of ACI $318-19$ building code

a$)$ if the column is part of a moment resisting frame braced against lateral sidesway by a structural wall.

b$)$ If the column is part of a moment resisting frame not braced against lateral sidesway.

Use gross moment of inertia for all members.

All members use the same material properties.
