For the frame shown in Figure 3, beams are oriented to bend about their strong axis. Structural analysis gives the following loads in column A: 220 kip dead load (DL) and 350 kip live load (LL). Similarly, for column B the following loads are given: 260 kip DL and 530 kip LL. Use A572 Gr. 65 steel for all members. Assume K, is equal to 1. Bays are 24 ft. long and stories are 14 ft. tall. All Beams are W24x146 and all columns are W14x82. a. Determine the effective length factor (Kx) for column A and column B bending about the strong (x) axis. b. Compute the design axial strength, $cPn, for column A and column B. Determine if the columns are adequate. Column B Column A
