Question: Assume the member ( Column B ) in Problem 1 5 . 4 is part of an unbraced frame, and that maximum moments M 2

Assume the member (Column B) in Problem 15.4 is part of an unbraced frame, and that maximum moments M2 of 28ft-kips dead load, 20ft-kips live load, and 85ft-kips wind load must be carried. The axial compressive loads are 30 kips dead load and 40kips live load. The total factored load Pt to all five columns in the story is 590 kips for ACI Formula (9-4). Investigate the adequacy of the 14-in. square exterior column (Column B). If found to be inadequate, redesign the member assuming the loadings are not affected by a change in member stiffness.
