The document describes analyzing the adequacy of a steel beam-column section under various loading conditions. Key details include:
- The section is a W360x179 steel column with steel plates welded to the flanges, subjected to 1200 kN axial compression and 500 kN-m bending moments at each end.
- Checks are performed for local buckling, effective section properties, axial capacity, bending moment capacities, and interaction effects between axial and bending loads.
- The analysis finds the section satisfies all check criteria, with interaction factors below the limit of 1.0. Therefore, the cross-section is deemed adequate for the given loads.

An 12m long W360x179 steel column has a PL19x350 attached to each flange through a continuous longitudinal weld throughout its length (this increases the moments of inertia and other properties). The member is part of an unbraced frame. It has an axial compressive load of 1200 kN. It also carries a 500 kN-m moment at each end about the strong axis of the member. Both the end moments are in the same direction. Assume that it is supported against lateral buckling at mid-point only (movement in weak-axis direction is prevented at mid-height). Check the adequacy of the c/s. Even if the cross-section fails a particular check, continue and carryout all the remaining checks necessary. By what percentage does the cross-section under-perform (or over-perform)? If you need to, the torsion constant can be calculated by adding btp3/3 to the original value of J for each extra plate with thickness tp. Warping constant can be found as d2b3(t+tp)/24.
