Question
- You are requested to design a column for PD = 225 k and PL = 400 k, using A992 steel with KL =16ft. A W14 x 68 is available but may not provide sufficient capacity. If it does not, cover plates may be added to the section to increase the W14's capacity. Design the cover plates to be 12 inch wide and welded to the flanges of the section to enable the column to support the required load (see figure below). Determine the minimum plate thickness required, assuming the plates are available in 1/16th-in increments.
