A long slender structural aluminum (E = 70 GPa) flanged shape is used as a 7-m long column. The column is supported in the x-direction at base A and pinned at ends A and C against translation in the y and z direction. Lateral support is provided to the column to that the deflection (buckling) in the x-z plane is restrained at mid-height B; however, the column is free to deflect in the x-y plane at B (see Fig). Determine the maximum P the column can support if a factor of safety of 2.5 is required.
