Question

To reinforce a column in an existing structure, two channels are welded to the W 12 x 50 column section as shown in the figure. Effective length of column with respect to each axis is 4.8 m.

Kx = Ky = 1.0

 

Properties of W12 x 50

A = 9484 mm2

rx = 131.57 mm

ry = 49.78 mm

Ix = 164 x 106 mm4

Iy = 23 x 106 mm4

Fy = 345 MPa

d = 309.63 mm

 

Properties of C6 x 13

A = 2471 mm2

Ix = 7.24 x 106 mm4

Iy = 0.44 x 106 mm4

bf = 54.79 mm

x = 13.06 mm (centroid from the outer side of the web)

 

a. Determine the critical slenderness ratio.

b. Determine the design strength of the column section. (kN in LRFD)
