Question: A W 1 2 5 3 column ( Boxed in Orange ) with floor - to - floor height of 1 8 ' - 0

A W1253 column (Boxed in Orange) with floor-to-floor height of 18'-0'' was selected by the structural engineer to carry 5 floors of the following loading (ignore the roof). Loading: blue = Corridor above first floor LL, green = research similar to operating room lab LL, yellow = office with partition added LL. DL in all three areas consists of s.w.=62 psf, MEPFP allowance, suspended ceiling with acoustical fiberboard tiles, and a flooring of 14" Linoleum tiles. Calculate:
Pn, given the column sits on a pier that has weak rotational resistance both directions.
Pn, given the column sits on a pier where the baseplate in the y-direction behaves like a moment connection but in the x -direction is it shear only.
Pn, given the column sits on a pier where the baseplate behaves like a moment connection in both directions.
Note: column fixity at the top in both directions will al
