The cross section of a column built up of two steel I-beams (S 150 × 25.7 sections) is shown in the figure. The beams arc connected by spacer bars, or lacing, to ensure that they act together as a single column. (The lacing is represented by dashed lines in the figure.) The column is assumed to have pinned ends and may buckle in any direction. Assuming E = 200 GPa and L = 8.5 m, calculate the critical load PCIfor the column.

Calculate the critical load PCTfor a W 8 × 35 steel column (see figure) having a length L = 24 ft and E = 30 × 106 psi under the following conditions: The column buckles by bending about its strong axis (axis 1-1). the column buckles by bending about its weak axis (axis 2-2). In both cases, assume that the column has pinned ends.
