Example: A column (compression member) in the upper story of a building is subjected to the following loads: Dead load (D=109 kips compression), floor live load (L=46 kips compression), roof live load (L,=19 kips compression), and snow (S=20 kips compression). a. Determine the controlling factored load for LRFD. b. If the resistance factor (Ø=0.9), what is the required nominal strength? Solution: (a) 1. Pu= 1.4D = 1.4 *109 = 152.6 kips. 2. Pu= 1.2D+ 1.6L + 0.5(L, or S or R) = 1.2*109+1.6*46+0.5*20 = 214.4 kips. 3. P₁ = 1.2D + 1.6(L, or S or R) + (0.5L or 0.8W) = 1.2*109+1.6*20+0.5*46 = 185.8 kips. 4. Pu= 1.2D + 1.6W +0.5 L + 0.5 (L, or S or R) = 1.2*109+0.5*46+0.5*20 = 163.8 kips. 5. Pu= 1.2D + 1.0E+0.5 L + 0.2S = 1.2*109+0.5*46+0.2*20 = 163.8 kips. 6. Pu= 0.9D (1.6W or 1.0E) = 0.9*109 = 98.1 kips. From above results, (Pu= 214.4 kips) is control to be used for design. (b) Ru≤ØRn 214.4 0.9*Rn [L=19 kips
