A W section of A36 steel (F= 250 MPa and Fu= 400 MPa) to serve as a column 9.15 m long to carry an axial compressive service load of 220 KN dead load and 490 KN live load in a braced structure. The member is assumed pinned at top and bottom and in addition has weak direction support at mid-height. Use LRFD.
