EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
Determine if the 14-ft.-long filled composite member illustrated below is
adequate for the indicated axial forces, shears, and moments. The composite
member consists of an ASTM A500 Grade C HSS with normal weight (145
lb/ft3) concrete fill having a specified compressive strength, f c′ = 5 ksi.
