A W 150x24 (A=3060 mm², I₂ = 13.4x106 mm4, I = 1.83x106 mm²) steel column is 8 m long and is fixed at its ends as shown. Its load-carrying capacity is increased by bracing it about the y-y (weak) axis using struts that are assumed to be pin-connected to its mid-height. Determine the load it can support so that the column does not buckle nor the material exceed the yield stress. Take E = 200 GPa and ₂ = 250 MPa P
