General design parameters:

Assumptions:
(1) The general conditions of clause 3.8.1 are applicable.
(2) The specified design axial loads include
the self-weight of the column.
(3) The design axial loads are taken constant
over the height of the column.

case

Design approach:
The column is designed using the following procedure:
(1) The column design charts are constructed.
(2) The design axis and design ultimate moment are determined .
(3) The design axial force and moment capacity is checked on
the relevant design chart.
(4) The procedure is repeated for each load case.
(5) The critical load case is identified as the case yielding the lowest
safety factor about the design axis
Through inspection:
Load case 2 (Revised) is critical.

Check column slenderness:

End fixity and bracing for bending about the Design axis:
At the top end: Condition 2 (partially fixed).
At the bottom end: Condition 3 (pinned).
The column is braced.

Initial moments:
The initial end moments about the X-X axis:
M1 = Smaller initial end moment = 0.0 kNm
M2 = Larger initial end moment = 600.0 kNm
The initial moment near mid-height of the column :
Mi = 0.4M1 + 0.6M2 0.4M2 = 360.0 kNm

The initial end moments about the Y-Y axis:

M1 = Smaller initial end moment = 0.0 kNm
M2 = Larger initial end moment = 0.0 kNm
The initial moment near mid-height of the column :
Mi = 0.4M1 + 0.6M2 0.4M2 = 0.0 kNm

Design of column section for ULS:

The column is checked for applied moment about the design axis.
Through inspection: the critical section lies at the top end of the column.
The design axis for the critical load case 2 lies at an angle of 0.00 to the X-axis
The safety factor for the critical load case 2 is 1.08
