Question

A column us built-up from 4-300 mm x 16 mm plates, welded to form a box section having a width of 300 mm along the x-axis and a depth of 332 mm along the y-axis. The unbraced length with respect to the x-axis is 10 m. With respect to the y-axis, the column is braced at midheight so that the unbraced length is 5 m. Assume pinned-ends for both axes. Sidesway is prevented. 

 

Yield Strength: Fy = 248 MPa Modulus of Elasticity: E = 200 GPa 

 

a.) Compute the effective slenderness ratio with respect to the x-axis.

b.) Compute the effective slenderness ratio with respect to the y-axis.

c.)Compute the axial load capacity (kN) of the built-up column.
