Question 15
A w12x79 of A573 Grade 60 (Fy = 415 MPa) steel is used as a compression member. It is 6.9 m long, fixed at the top and bottom, and has additional
support in the weak direction at mid-height. Properties of the section are as follows:
A = 14,500 mm^2
Ix = 258.6 x 10^6 mm^4
I, = 84.375 x 10^6 mm^4
Calculate the effective slenderness ratio with respect to strong axis buckling using theoretical value of k.
