Question: Using LRFD method, determine the adequacy ( compute the DCR using the interaction equation ) of a 6 . 0 9 6 m long W

Using LRFD method, determine the adequacy (compute the DCR using the interaction equation) of a 6.096m long W360X162(W14X109) column in a building that is braced by shear walls or diagonal braces (i.e., a Braced Frame). The column is pinned at both ends and subjected to the following factored load case obtained from a first-order structural analysis:
Ttop column:
Pu=2313KN, Mux =284KN-m, Muy =135KN-m
Bottom column:
Mux =142KN-m, Muy =135kN-m
The moments act in the clockwise direction at the top of the column and in the counterclockwise direction at the bottom of the column, resulting in single curvature bending in the column for the given load case. Assume ASTM A992 Grade 50 steel. Use the AISC equations to determine the axial compression capacity of the column and use the actual Cm factor for the column that corresponds to the given load case.
Using LRFD method, determine the adequacy (
