Given:
Calculate the available strength of a W14x90 with a strong axis unbraced length of 30.0 ft and weak axis and
torsional unbraced lengths of 15.0 ft. The material properties and loads are as given
W-shape column to carry an axial dead load of
140 kips and live load of 420 kips. The column is 30 ft long and is pinned top and
bottom in both axes. Limit the column size to a nominal 14-in. shape.
P
P = 140 kips
P = 420 kips
