**Problem 30**

An A992 W21×111 is used as a column in a building to support a dead load of 120 kips and a live load of 300 kips. The column effective length is 22 ft for the y-axis and 33 ft for the x-axis. Determine whether the column will support the load by (a) LRFD and (b) ASD.

**Explanation:**

- **A992 W21×111**: This refers to a structural steel wide-flange shape. The numbers denote its nominal size and weight.
- **Dead Load**: Constant, permanent load; 120 kips in this problem.
- **Live Load**: Temporary or changing load; 300 kips here.
- **Effective Lengths**: 
  - 22 ft for the y-axis
  - 33 ft for the x-axis

**Objective**: Analyze if the column can support the specified loads using:
- **Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)**
- **Allowable Stress Design (ASD)**
