    The document summarizes four examples of calculating the required section properties and design compressive strength of steel columns. In the first example, it is determined that a W14x68 section meets the compressive strength requirement of 332 kips for a column subjected to various loads. In the second example, a W10x49 section is selected as the lightest section meeting a compressive requirement of 332 kips. In the third example, a W8x48 section is selected as the lightest section for a column with a 16 foot unsupported length and a compressive requirement of 332 kips. The fourth example calculates the design compressive strength of a fixed-hinge W14x68 column to be 722.4 kips

    Example 1: Determine whether the column section W 14 X 68 A992 (Fy = 50 ksi) will

    be adequate. The column must resist the following loads:

    PD = 50 kips
    PL = 170 kips
    PW = 110 kips

    Use A992 steel


    (Fy=50 ksi)

    20 ft

    SOLUTION:

    LRFD Load combinations:

    1.4 PD = 1.4 x 50 = 70 kips


    1.2 PD + 1.6 PL = 1.2 x 50 + 1.6 x 170 = 332 kips. (CONTROLS)
    1.2 PD + 0.5 PL + 1.6 PW = 1.2x 50 + 0.5x170 + 1.6x110 = 321 kips.
    0.9 PD + 1.6 PW = 0.9x50 + 1.6x110 = 221 kips.

    The column must carry, Pu = 332 kips.

    OR

    Use AISC TABLE 4-1 (Page 4-14)

    KL with respect to least radius of gyration = 1.0(20) = 20 ft

    For W14X68 with KL=20, design compressive strength = 448 kips >332 kips
    Therefore, W14X68 is adequate.

    ------------

    OR

    (KL/r) = (1.0)(20 x 12)/2.46 = 97.56 < 4.71√(E/Fy) = 4.71√(29000/50) = 113.46 yes

    Fe = π2 E / (KL/r)2 …………………………(AISC Eq. E3-4)
