Question: Question 1 ( 2 0 marks ) Universal column S 2 7 5 sections, simply connected through their centroids, are used for the truss top

Question 1(20 marks)
Universal column S275 sections, simply connected through their centroids, are used for the truss top chord shown in Figure Q1, with the sections orientated as shown in the Section a-a of Figure Q1. The maximum compression force in the top chord as a result of the factored design loading is 2200kN. Check the suitability of a 254254 UKC132 member in compression for this top chord, performing all necessary checks (with the exception of deflection and torsional flexural buckling, which is not required for a UKC connected through its centroid). Note that out of plane lateral support is provided only at loading and support nodes. See end of paper for equations to assist in design.
