W12x79 of A573 Grade 60 (Fy = 415 MPa) steel is used as a compression member. It is 6.6 m long, fixed at the top and bottom, and has additional support in the weak direction at mid-height. Properties of the section are as follows: A = 14,500 mm^2 Ix = 258.6 x 10^6 mm^4 Iy = 84.375 x 10^6 mm^4 Calculate the effective slenderness ratio with respect to strong axis buckling using theoretical value of k.
