Question
A column is built up from 4-300 mm x 16 mm
plates, welded to form a box section having a
width of 300 mm along the x-axis and a depth of
332 mm along the y-axis. Unbraced column
length with respect to the x-axis is 12 m.
With respect to the y-axis, the column is braced
at third points so that the unbraced length is 4 m.
Assume pinned-ends for both axis. Sidesway is
prevented. Steel yield stress: Fy = 248 MPa
Modulus of elasticity = 200 GPa
1. Compute the effective slenderness ratio with
respect to the x-axis.
2. Compute the effective slenderness ratio with
respect to y-axis.
3. Compute the axial load capacity (kN) of the
built up column.
