Question: The 1 5 1 5 in . column shown below must extend from footing level to the second floor of a braced frame structure with

The 1515 in. column shown below must extend from footing level to the second floor of a braced
frame structure with an unsupported length of 20.5ft. Exterior exposure requires 2in. clear cover for the
outermost steel. Analysis indicates that the critical loading corresponds with the following service loads:
(a) from dead loads, P=180 kips, M0=30ft-kips, Mht=15ft-kips; (b) from live loads, P=110 kips,
Mses=60ft-kips, Mhss=30ft-kips, with the column bent in double curvature as shown. The effective
length factor k determined using Fig. 10.13 a is 0.90. Material strengths are fc'=4000 and
fy=60000. Using the ACI moment magnifier method, determine whether the column is adequate to
resist these loads. (20pt)
