Question: The column shown below at the ground level is 9 0 0 0 m m long and carries a factored axial load of 3 0

The column shown below at the ground level is 9000mm long and carries a factored axial load of 3000kN. The girders (W530x101) spans 8000mm and (W530x123) spans 10000mm respectively, and are rigidly connected to the column flanges at both ends (moment connection, continuous at the far end). The column can be considered as fixed at the base (foundation) and adequately braced in the weak direction (no weak axis buckling of the column). Design the column using a W-shape and Grade 350W steel of the lightest section permissible. Assume the same column is extended beyond the first floor. The column above the first floor is 7000mm long (first to second floor). Calculate the factored compression resistance of the selected section to verify that it meets the requirement.
The column shown below at the ground level is 9 0
