Beam-column example 3 Rolled Universal Column in Simple Construction Problem

A 254 x254 x 73 UKC is to be assessed for use as an internal column in a simple ,frame (i.e. designed on the assumptions of simple construction). The column length is 5.0 m and the steel grade is S275. Connection eccentricity causes a design major axis bending moment M,,rO o,f 9.4kNm and a design minor axis bending moment M..,bdof 2.3 kNm. The design axial load in the column Nbdis 125.3 k N Check the adequacy o,f this section to carry the applied loads.
The simplified interaction expression f r o m columns in simple construction is as follows:
