Consider two axially loaded columns of grade 50 steel (σyp = 50 ksi ~ 345 MPa) with section W10 x 112. One of the columns is 12 ft (~ 3.6 m) long and the other is 40 ft (~12.0m). Both columns are braced at their pinned ends. a) Using the AISC ASD formulas, determine the allowable loads of these columns. b) Using the AISC LRFD method, determine the nominal axial resistances of the columns (factored loads) Pn = ϕC A σCR, where A is the cross-sectional area for each column.
