A W12 x 65 of A572 Grade 60 steel (Fy = 414 MPa, Fu = 520 MPa)l is used as a compression member. It is 7.9m long, pinned at each end, and has additional support in the weak direction at a point 3.7m from the top. a. Check the slenderness of the section. Which elements are slender? b. What is the capacity of this compression member? c. Can this member resist a service dead load of 800kN and a service live load of 1400 kN?
