Question: A proposed column, 6 m long, in a frame is required - it is restrained against buckling only at its ends. For the strength limit

A proposed column, 6m long, in a frame is required - it is restrained against buckling only at its ends. For the strength limit state, select the minimum mass I section (UC), Grade 300PLUS, from the OneSteel catalogue that will safely carry given concentric nominal axial compression load of 800KN. The end restraints at both ends of the column are as follows:
For the x-x axis, the column is a sway member with a rotation free-translation fixed base and a rotation fixed-translation free top.
For the y-y axis, the column is a braced me with a rotation fixed-translation fixed base and top as shown in the figure below.
Find: Determine the uniform bending design moment resistances when the flange is in either compression or tension.
A proposed column, 6 m long, in a frame is
