A W8 x 67 column is made from ASTM A572 Gr. 42 steel and has a length of 26 ft. The column is only supported at its ends. Both ends are fixed. Determine the nominal compressive strength, Pn, for this column. Assume the shape is nonslender.

Can a W14 x 53 column with an effective length of 17 feet support a dead load of 180 kips and a live load of 100 kips? Use LRFD.

A W18 x 35 column is made from ASTM A36 steel and has a length of 34 ft. The column is only supported at its ends. Both ends are fixed. Determine the nominal compressive strength, Pn, for this column. Assume the shape is nonslender.

Determine the Euler bucking load for a HSS10 x 8 x 3/16 structural steel column that is 17 ft long.

Determine the Euler bucking stress for a structural steel column that has a length of 9 feet and a radius of gyration of 2.7 inches.

Determine the Euler bucking load for a HSS7 x 5 x 1/2 structural steel column that is 17 ft long.

Using the column load tables, select the lightest W14-shape with an effective length of 15 ft that will support an LRFD design load of 500 kips.

Select the lightest HP16 column with an effective length of 15 feet that can support a dead load of 230 kips and a live load of 690 kips. Assume Fy = 50 ksi. Use LRFD.
