    Solution
    The equations and AISC guidelines for solving this and other columns and compression
    member problems can be found in the Manual starting on page 16.1-27.

    2. Section E2 of the Specifications section gives the equations to find the design compressive
    strength.
    Ag = gross area of member, square inches
    Fy = specified minimum yield stress, ksi
    E = modulus of elasticity, ksi
    K = eective length factor
    l = laterally unbraced length of member, in.

    Summary

    3. Next find the design compressive strength by first finding the value for c .

    c =

    Problem

    = 0.519
    4. Since this is less than 1.5 the equation:

    A W12 X 72 is used as a column. It is 10 feet long and the steel strength is 50 ksi. Find the
    maximum compressive load it can hold.

    The first section of the Manual will give the properties for the W12 X 72 column. Ag , Ix , and Iy
    are found on page 1-20 and 1-21.
    W12 X 72
    1 = 10 ft
    Fy = 50 ksi
    Ag = 21.2
    Ix = 597
    Iy = 195
    take K = 1

    Fcr = 0.658c Fy
    can be used for Fcr (/contents/[email protected]:1) and the
    column is considered short and stocky.
    5. Therefore,

    r E

    Fcr = 44.7 ksi

    Answer
    Now we can use the equation

    Pn

    = Fcr Ag
    = 802

    where

    Solution

    = 0.85

    = 0.85
    So 802 k is the maximum load the column can sustain.
