A beam is supported by a column 3 m tall with dimensions a x 1.5a as shown above. The column is fixed at the base and pinned to the beam. Assume a Young’s modulus of ? = 25 GPa and yield strength of ?? = 20 MPa for the column. a) Draw the SFD and BMD for the beam and determine the axial load acting on the column. b) What is the minimum value of “a” that would not result in buckling of the column? c) If the column was instead fixed to the beam, how would this change the minimum value of “a”?

Question
A beam is supported by a column 3 m tall with dimensions a x 1.5a as shown above. The column is fixed at the base and pinned to the beam. Assume a Young’s modulus of ? = 25 GPa and yield strength of ?? = 20 MPa for the column.
a) Draw the SFD and BMD for the beam and determine the axial load acting on the column.
b) What is the minimum value of “a” that would not result in buckling of the column?
c) If the column was instead fixed to the beam, how would this change the minimum value of “a”?

A beam is supported by a column 3 m tall with dimensions a x 1.5a as shown above. The column
is fixed at the base and pinned to the beam. Assume a Young's modulus of E = 25 GPa and yield
strength of σy = 20 MPa for the column.
a) Draw the SFD and BMD for the beam and determine the axial load acting on the column.
b) What is the minimum value of "a" that would not result in buckling of the column?
c) If the column was instead fixed to the beam, how would this change the minimum value of "a"?
