Example I-2 Filled Composite Column in Axial Compression

Determine if a 14-ft long HSS 10 x 6x 3/8 ASTM grade B column filled with f`c = 5 ksi normal weight concrete can support a dead load of 56 kips and a live load of 168 kips in axial compression. The column is pinned at both ends and the concrete at the base bears directly on the base plate. At the top, the load is transferred to the concrete in direct bearing. PDL 56 kip PLL 168 kip K1 (pinned on both ends)

L 14 ft

Pu 1.2 PDL + 1.6 PLL = 336 kip The available strength in axial compression can be determined directly from the Manual KLy=14 ft as: cPn 353 kip axial_strength if cPn > Pu good else not good Supporting Calculations: The available strength of this filled composite section can be most easily determined by using Table 4-14 of the Manual. Alternatively, the available strength can be determined by direct application of the Specification requirements, as illustrated below.
