Please show complete solution
An ASTM A36 W10 x 45 structural steel
wide-flange section is used as an axially
loaded column. The proportional limit is 34
ksi and the modulus of elasticity is 30(10)³
ksi.
(a) Find the allowable axial compressive
load using the Euler formula and a
factor of safety of 2.0 The length of the
column is 26 ft. The column is fixed at
the bottom and pinned at the top.
(b) Find the allowable axial compressive for
the same column if the end conditions
are fixed / fixed (fixed at each end).
(c) Determine the minimum length of the
column at which the Euler formula will
still be valid if the column is fixed at the
bottom and pinned at the top.
