Select the lightest double angle compression member to carry 110 kips dead load and 130 kips live load. The effective length KL = 20 ft. Assume the backs of the angles are separated by a f-in. gusset plate. Indicate the orientation of the angle legs (i.e., short or long legs back-to- back). If angles are selected for all three steels, indicate the economical choice if relative costs are A36 (1.0), Fv = 50 (1.07), and Fv = 60 (1.10). Use (a) A36 steel; (b) Fv = 50 ksi; (c) Fy = 60 ksi. %3|
