Compute the ASD elastic critical buckling strength, Pe1, for the W14x74 made from ASTM A992 steel with L = 12 ft, P = 240 kip, M = 260 kip-ft, and Kx = Ky = 1.0. Bending is about the x axis. The member is part of a braced frame, and the given service loads are 50% dead load and 50% live load. The frame analysis was performed consistent with the effective length method, so the flexural rigidity was unreduced.

Compute the ASD moment amplification factor B1 for the W10x88 made from ASTM A992 steel with L = 13 ft, P = 260 kip, M = 280 kip-ft, and Kx = Ky = 1.0. Bending is about the x axis. The member is part of a braced frame, and the given service loads are 30% dead load and 70% live load. The frame analysis was performed consistent with the effective length method, so the flexural rigidity was unreduced.
