Question

A W 12 a x 72 is used as a column to carry an axial load P. The column has a fixed . oport at the bottom and hinged at the top. The column has an unsupported height of 6m. Using A 36 steel with Fy = 248 MPa. Es = 200000 MPa. 

 

Properties of W 12 x 72

A = 13677A0 mm2 d

= 311.15 mm

bf= 305.82 mm

tf = 17.04 nun

tw = 10.92 mm

Ix = 248.5 x 106 mm4

Iy = 81.17 x 106 mm4

rx = 134.87 mm

ry = 77.22 rnm 

 

a) Compute the recommended value of the slenderness ratio.

b) Compute the allowable compressive stress.

c) Compute the allowable axial load P.
