Question 3: A W14 x 61 A572 Grade 50 steel, 16 feet long, is to be investigated for use as a column in an unbraced frame. The axial and end moments (for gravity and wind service loading) are shown below. Assume Kx=0.85 for braced case and Kx=1.2 for unbraced case and Ks=1.0. All bending is about the strong axis. Determine whether this member is in compliance with the AISC specifications.
a) GRAVITY
Pp=100kips
PL=150kips
m=20k*ft.
12 b) WIND
Note - Loads are unfactored and the column is unbraced.
m=20k-ft.
