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.

A W18 x 35 column is made from ASTM A572 Gr. 42 steel and has a length of 33 ft. The column is only supported at its ends. One end is fixed and the other is pinned. Determine the allowable strength, Pn/Ωc, for this column. Assume the shape is nonslender.
