The compression member, 8 m long, pinned at both ends has additional support in the weak direction at a point 4.5 m from the bottom. The compression member supports a service DL= 575 KN and a service LL= 1000 KN. The overall depth of the section shall not exceed 450 mm. Use A36 steel with Fy= 250 MPa and Fu= 400 MPa. Use ASD. Solve the following: Can a W18 x 76 be used for this compression member? Select the lightest W shape for the compression member.
