tops), supporting two main edge beams and four roof beams. It is proposed that the columns have SG8 Figures 4 and 5 below show a storage structure realised with four cantilever columns (fixed bases and pinned
tops), supporting two main edge beams and four roof beams. It is proposed that the columns have SG8
sections that are 250mm100mm(net section dimensions of 24090mm). Wall girts span between the
columns in the longitudinal direction and across the back wall, as shown in Figure 4. Steel cross bracing is
also present in the longitudinal direction. Corrugated metal sheeting panels clad the three walls of the
building (but the cladding is not shown on the left wall in Figure 4 so that the wall girts can be clearly seen).

moment demand, Mx*=5kNm, on the front column, present calculations to show whether the
column is strong enough to satisfy this ULS load combination.
