PROBLEM 2. DETERMINE THE DESIGN STRENGTH OF AN ASTM A992 W14X132 THAT IS A PART OF A
BRACE FRAME. ASSUME THAT THE PHYSICAL LENGTH L=30FT, THE ENDS ARE PINNED
AND THE COLUMN IS BRACED AT THE ENDS ONLY FOR THE X-X AXIS AND IS BRACED
AT THE ENDS AND MID-HEIGHT FOR THE Y-Y AXIS. ALSO CHECK FOR LOCAL
BUCKLING FAILURE

SOLUTION:

I. CHECK FOR THE SLENDERNESS

UNSTIFFENED ELEMENTS

r = 5.70 = 5.7.0 = 137.27 = = 0.645 =19.53

< r, THEREFORE NO LOCAL BUCKLING FAILURE, Q=1.0

IV. DESIGN COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH

USE PN = 1525.62 KIPS
PN = 0.90(1525.62) = 1373.06 KIPS
