Thenominal axial compressive strength,
Pn=FeAf=(267.32)(21800)10-1=5828kN
The allowable axial compressive strength
Pr=P1i=58281.67=34906N
The required strength,
P1=B0+B0=350+2400=3250kN
Cheek if the member has adequate strength.
PsPr=32503490=0.931.0
If0.93-1.0 then, the member is satisfactary
A compression member A B ( HE 4 0 0 B ) is pinned
