EXAMPLE: X
Determine the allowable compressive load carrying capacity
of the column shown in Fig. It consists of W10x45 section X
Y
having A992 (Fy = 50 ksi) steel. There are hinge support at
top and bottom that allows rotation in any direction. Also the P P
column has weak direction support (braced) at mid-height so
that lateral deflection is prevented in x direction. Use ASD
approach.

SOLUTION:
For W10x45 section, from AISC Manual Chart we have
13'
A = 13.3 in2, rx=4.32 in., ry=2.01 in.
x o strong axis
y o weak axis
Column length, L = (13x2)x12 = 312 in. 13'
Z
Z
Possibility of buckling in both x and y directions to be checked.
X Y
Buckling in y direction causes bending about x axis or strong
axis. For strong axis buckling, the buckling shape is like a half P P
sine wave over full column length. Thus for strong (or x axis) Weak-axis Strong-axis
axis buckling, Kx = 1.0 buckling buckling

Buckling in x direction causes bending about y axis or weak axis. For weak
axis buckling, the buckling shape is like a full sine wave over full column
length. Thus for weak (or y axis) axis buckling, Ky = 0.5
?KyL/ry = 0.5u312/2.01 = 77.61
?Feyy = S2E/(KyL/ry)2 = 3.142u29000/(77.61)2 = 47.47 ksi.

= [0.658(50/47.47)]50= 32.17 ksi

Nominal strength for y axis buckling Pny = Fcr Ag = 32.17u13.3 = 427.9 kip

?Pn = smaller of Pnx and Pny = 427.9 kip

? Allowable strength P = Pn/: = 427.9/1.67 = 256.2 kip

EXAMPLE 6.10.1 in ASD:
Select the lightest W section of A992 (Fy = 50 ksi) steel to serve as a pinned-end
main member column 16 ft long to carry an axial compression load of 115 kips
dead load and 125 kips live load in a braced structure, as shown in Fig. Use ASD
approach.

SOLUTION:
P= 115+125= 240 kip, L = 16' = 192"

Both ends hinged, therefore K = 1.0

Nominal strength Pn = Fcr Ag

Assume KL/r = 90, ? r = KL/90 = 192/90 = 2.133 in.
Fe = S2E/(KL/r)
/( / )2 = 3.142u29000/(90)2 = 35.33 ksi.

But Pn = Fcr Ag
? Ag = Pn/Fcr = 400.8/27.63 = 14.5 in2.
Now go to W section charts of AISC Manual and find a
section having r t 2.133 and Ag t 14.5.
From AISC Manual Chart on Pages 1-24 and 1-25,
Select W12x53 with A=15.6 in2 and r = 2.48 in
TRIAL-2
Assume KL/r = 80, ? r = KL/80 = 192/80 = 2.4 in. From AISC Manual Chart on
Fe = S2E/(KL/r)2 = 3.142u29000/(80)2 = 44.72 ksi. Pages 1-24 and 1-25,
Select W10x49 with A=14.4
