W8x40 sections are used as columns in a braced frame with W16x26 beams at the top and the bottom of the columns. All columns are 12 ft long and all beams are 24 ft long and the strong axis of all members is in the same plane. Determine the effective length using the alignment chart for the strong axis and calculate the design compressive strength taking into consideration the potential for buckling about both axes. All steel is A992.
