A 12m steel column with a W 250X73 cross section is braced at mid-height and has a proportional limit of 235 MPa. The document provides properties of the column and asks to: 1) Determine the slenderness ratio with respect to the x and y axes. 2) Determine the Euler's critical buckling stress. 3) Determine the allowable axial compressive load using a factor of safety of 2.5.
