The steel column is fabricated by welding a 9-in. by 1/2-in. plate to a W12 x 50 section. The axial load P acts at the centroid C of the W-section. If the normal working stress is 18 ksi, find the maximum allowable value of P. If the plate were removed, would the allowable P be larger or smaller? P FIG. P8.20 P Weld - 9 in.- W12 x 50 1 in.
