A W12 x 50 column is made from ASTM A572 Gr. 60 steel and has a length of 32 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 HSS9 x 5 x 1/4 structural steel column that is 18 ft long.

A W10 x 77 column is made from ASTM A36 steel and has a length of 19 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 W18 x 35 column is made from ASTM A572 Gr. 60 steel and has a length of 29 ft. The column is only supported at its ends. One end is fixed and the other is pinned. Determine the elastic buckling stress, Fe, for this column.

A W10 x 77 column is made from ASTM A572 Gr. 60 steel and has a length of 26 ft. The column is only supported at its ends. Both ends are fixed. Determine the allowable strength, Pn/Ωc, for this column. Assume the shape is nonslender.
