Question: Determine the largest compressive load ( P a l l o w a b l e ) that can be supported by a 6 6

Determine the largest compressive load (Pallowable) that can be supported by a 66 column post which is 10 feet tall. A duration factor of 1.15 will be used. The column post is unbraced and made of Hem-Fir No.2 and exists under normal moisture, temperature, and other conditions (most modifiers =1.0 but consider stability factor). Assume the column to have an effective length factor of 1.0 and use ASD principles. Use the following:
Area =30.25 in ?2
Width = Depth =5.5 in
Emin=400,000
Modulus of Elasticity (E)=1,100,000
Fc=575
Determine the largest compressive load ( P a l l
