Given a $9ft$ long column, which is fully Fixed in both directions at the bottom and is free to side sway at the top $($like a utility or flag pole$).$

The column is $2$DF grade $1\mathrm{.}2$ GLULAM $($Appendix B $8)$ and has a rectangular

$\frac{51}{8}$ in $x\frac{71}{2}$ in section $($Appendix B$5)$ and is under ambient temperatures and dry conditions. The loading is DL & LL$,$ Occupancy conditions.

i$-$Use a tabular format and a step by step solution as in the text examples of Chapters $6$&$7.$

ii$-$Calculate the load carrying compression capacity, Pu$=($Phi$)$xPn of the column.

iii$-$ If the required vertical load, $Pu,$ that the column will carry is $35\%$ DL & $65\%LL,$ calculate the actual service load.$--$
