The unbraced frame shown below has all members oriented for bending about strong axis. All the beams are W1835 and all the columns are W1279.
a=16ft
b=16ft
c=20ft
d=13ft
"pin connection"
Find:
Determine the effective length of column AB, assume Pu=900 kips and use b.(Hint: use b from AISC table 4-13)(10 points)
Determine the effective length of column CH, ignore b.(8 points)
Determine the effective length of column EF, ignore b.(8 points)
The unbraced frame shown below has all members
