a) Determine the available strength in axial compression for the W14x74 highlighted in the frame below. Consider buckling in the plane of the frame, which corresponds to the weak axis of the columns. All beams are acting in strong axis bending. Use A992 Gr.50 steel.b) Comment on what would change in the calculation process if the available strength in axial compression needs to be determined for buckling about the strong axis of the column (in the out-of-plane direction)? Is additional information required? (Do not include the solution for strong axis buckling)
