A W12x79 of A573 Grade 60 (Fy = 415 MPa) steel is used as a compression member. It is 7 m long, pinned at the top fixed at bottom, and has additional support in the weak direction 3 m from the top. Properties of the section are as follows: A = 14,500 mm^2 Ix = 258.6 x 10^6 mm^4 Iy = 84.375 x 10^6 mm^4

A W12x79 of A573 Grade 60 (Fy = 415 MPa) steel is used as a compression member. It is 7 m long, pinned at the top fixed at bottom, and has additional support in the weak direction 3 m from the top. Properties of the section are as follows:
A = 14,500 mm^2
Ix = 258.6 x 10^6 mm^4
Iy = 84.375 x 10^6 mm^4
