Problem 4.
See the framing elevation below. At floor 3, a total of 120 kips is loaded into the column by the beams. At
floor 2, a total of 150kips is loaded into the column. At floor 3 beams frame into the column both
directions. At floor 2, beams frame into the column in the plane of the page but there is no beam framing
into the column into/out of the page. The column cross section is as shown in section A-A (hint: pay
attention to the orientation). Assume this column is pinned-pinned. The column is a W10x33.
a) What is rx and ry for the given section?
b) Calculate kLrx and kLry.
c) What is the critical buckling stress (with safety factor applied),FFcr for the column?
d) What is Pn?
e) Is the column sufficient for the applied loads? What is the DCR (Demand-Capacity Ratio)?
