Use E =2910^6 psi. A column of 22-ft effective length is made by welding two 90.5-in. plates to a W835 as shown. Determine
a) The magnitude of the area of the built-up column cross-section is _____in^2.
b) The magnitude of the area moment of inertia of the column about the centroidal x-axis is _____in^4.(6 sig figs)
c) The magnitude of the area moment of inertia of the column about the centroidal y-axis is _____in^4.(6 sig figs)
d) The magnitude of the critical axial compressive force for the column based upon buckling about the centroidal x-axis is _____lb.(6 sig figs)
e) The magnitude of the critical axial compressive force for the column based upon buckling about the centroidal y-axis is _____lb.(6 sig figs)
f) The magnitude of the critical axial compressive force for the column based upon buckling is _____lb.(6 sig figs)
g) The magnitude of the allowable axial compressive force for the column based upon buckling is _____lb.(6 sig figs)
h) For this problem ONLY, assume the column is braced such that buckling will not occur about the weak-axis of the Built-Up member.(The column remains a "built-up column", composed of 3 pieces.)
The magnitude of the allowable axial compressive force for the column based upon buckling is _____lb.(6 sig figs)
i) When the column is loaded to the allowable axial compressive force, the magnitude of the compressive normal stress is _____ksi.
j) If the column were made from A36 steel, the yield strength of the material is _____ksi.
k) Assume:
the column is made from A36 steel
the column is loaded to the allowable axial compressive force
The magnitude of the ratio of the compressive normal stress to the yield strength is _____.
l) If the column has "fixed-fixed" end conditions, the actual length of the column is _____ft.
m) If the column has "fixed-pinned" end conditions, the actual length of the column is _____ft.
n) If the column has "pinned-pinned" end conditions, the actual length of the column is _____ft.
o) If the column has "fixed-free" end conditions, the actual length of the column is _____ft.
