The initial compressive force of a steel column can be determined by using the Euler's Critical Load Formula. The x-axis has an unbraced length of L meters which is fixed at the top and bottom supports to prevent sidesway. The y-axis has an unbraced length of L/2 meters due to the bracing at mid-height. The properties of the column are the following A=8,338mm2 , Ix=177,283,158mm4 , Iy=23,354,047mm4 ,Fy=345MPa. Calculate the minimum length, L of the column in millimeters without exceeding the proportionality limit, fs=300MPa. Express your answer in 2 decimal places.
