A 6.5m long column in an existing building is part of a braced frame in both xx and yy planes of the cross section. It is fixed at the base and pinned at the top about both axes. In addition, the column is laterally supported perpendicular to its weak axis at a height 3.5m from the base. The column is a W (given designated steel section below) with Fy=415MPa. a. Determine the design compressive strength of the column. b. Is the column adequate to carry an axial compressive load of 400kN?
