    The document provides information for designing compression members made of W-shapes, angles, and hollow sections. It discusses determining the available strength and nominal compressive strength of compression members according to design codes. It also addresses effective member length, loading through the centroid, and properties useful for designing compression members with and without stiffeners.

    The tables give the available strength in axial compression for W-shapes, angles
    and hollow sections. The compression members are classified in accordance with
    Section 4 of DG27.They do not include values for the strength of slender equal leg
    angles or slender round HSS because they are outside the scope of DG27.
    The available strength of compression members, or / is determined
    according to Section 5 of DG27, using modified Spec. Eq E3-2 and modified Spec.
    E3-3 as appropriate.
    The nominal compressive strength, , was determined using the following
    resistance and safety factors:
    0.85  LRFD 1.76  ASD for round HSS
    0.90  LRFD 1.67  ASD for all other structural sections
    Reference should be made to Part 4 of the AISC Steel Construction Manual for
    information on the effective length and column slenderness.
    The available strengths in axial compression tabulated for W-shapes and
    rectangular HSS are given for the effective length with respect to the y-axis .
    However, the effective length with respect to the x-axis must also be
    investigated. To determine the available strength in axial compression, the table
    should be entered at the larger of and , where:

    members are listed at the bottom of each table.
    For W-shapes, variables , , and shown in Table 4-1 of the AISC Steel
    Construction Manual can be used to determine the strength of W-shapes without
    stiffeners to resist concentrated forces applied normal to the face(s) of the
    flange(s), based on the AISC Specification Section J.10 and Part 4 of the AISC Steel
    Construction Manual.
    The following resistance and safety factors were used:

    DESIGN
    OF COMPRESSION MEMBERS

    Available strengths in axial compression are given for single angles, loaded through
    the centroid of the cross section, based upon the effective length with respect to
    the z-axis, . Single angles may be assumed to be loaded through the centroid
    when the requirements of the AISC Specification Section E5 are met, as in these
    cases the eccentricity is accounted for and the slenderness is reduced by the
    restraining effects of the support at both ends of the member.
