Problem 2. Effective length of columns
A two-story plane frame structure is not braced (sway frame) as shown in Figure 1. All columns are 200 UC 59.5 and all beams are 410 UB 59.7. All members are bending about their strong axis. Use G=10 for pinned base and G=1.0 for fixed base.
Determine the effective length, k, of all columns using the French Equations.
