Question

solve the problem

A steel column that is fixed at the base and free at the top is constructed of a W 8 x 35 wide-flange
member (see figure). The column is 10 ft long. The force acting at the top of the column has an
eccentricity e-1.15 in. Analyse the column to determine the
(a) the maximum compressive stress in the column?
(b) Allowable load, if the yield stress is 35 ksi and the required factor of safety with respect to
yielding is 2.5?
