Unstiffened-elements are supported along both edges parallel to the direction of load.

Is a W-shape with the following details considered slender according to AISC 360 Table B4.1a?bf/2tf = 15h/tw = 26Fy = 54 ksi

A W12 x 50 column is made from ASTM A36 steel and has a length of 35 ft. The column is only supported at its ends. One end is fixed and the other is pinned. Determine the critical stress, Fcr, for this column, which is also called nominal stress, Fn, in AISC 360-22.

A W10x17 beam made from A992 steel would be classified as _______.

Select the lightest HP16 column with an effective length of 15 feet that can support a dead load of 190 kips and a live load of 570 kips. Assume Fy = 50 ksi. Use ASD.

A W14 x 90 column is made from ASTM A572 Gr. 60 steel and has a length of 39 ft. The column is only supported at its ends. One end is fixed and the other is pinned. Determine the design strength, φcPn, for this column. Assume the shape is nonslender.

A W14 x 90 column is made from ASTM A572 Gr. 60 steel and has a length of 30 ft. The column is only supported at its ends. Both ends are pinned. Determine the nominal compressive strength, Pn, for this column. Assume the shape is nonslender.

A W10 x 77 column is made from ASTM A572 Gr. 42 steel and has a length of 40 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.

From a practical standpoint, if a flexural member to be analyzed can be found in the column load tables, then these tables should be used.

Determine the Euler bucking load for a HSS10 x 8 x 3/16 structural steel column that is 13 ft long.
