Transcribed Image Text:**Column Design Capacity Analysis**
*Objective:*
Determine the design capacity of a W10x22 column made from A36 steel under axial compression. Assess various lengths and end conditions to see how they influence capacity.
**Column Scenarios:**
1. **Case (a):**
- Length \( L = 8 \) ft
- End Condition: Pinned ends
2. **Case (b):**
- Length \( L = 8 \) ft
- End Condition: Fixed ends
3. **Case (c):**
- Length \( L = 16 \) ft
- End Condition: Pinned ends
4. **Case (d):**
- Length \( L = 16 \) ft
- End Condition: Fixed ends
5. **Case (e):**
- Length \( L = 16 \) ft
- End Condition: Pinned ends, with bracing at the midspan in the weak axis direction
*Notes:*
- Analyze each condition considering the differences between pinned and fixed ends, which affect the effective length factor and column capacity.
- Midspan bracing affects the buckling resistance in the weak axis, altering the effective length used in calculations.
