Question: Specify the diameter of a round column 1 . 5 m long that is to carry a maximum load estimated to be 4 4 k

Specify the diameter of a round column 1.5m long that is to carry a maximum load estimated
to be 44kN(see Figure below). Use a design factor nd=4. The column material selected has a
minimum yield strength of 500MPa and Young's modulus is 207GPa. (10 points)
(a) Calculate the diameter of the column and select a standardized diameter (5 points)
(b) Calculate the actual slenderness ratio and critical slenderness ratio to judge if this column
is a Euler column or not. (5 points)
