Column ABC (W12x58) is part of a braced frame and made from A992 steel. It is fixed at the bottom (at Point A). Assume all other beam-to-column connections are pinned. Take: L1=15ft and L2=9ft. Use Table C-A-7.1(from manual) for effective length factors (K), when necessary.
A) Draw the possible deflected shapes for Column ABC with respect to strong and weak axes.
B) Determine the LRFD design strength of this column [in kips] using:
B1) the AISC's equations.
B2) the tables provided in the Manual.
