Question

Answer 1

Answer #1

2) Dead load=75 kips

live load=75 kips

Design load on column=(1.2*75)+(1.6*75)=210 kips

effective length of column=12 ft

the most economical column would be the lightest column with capacity greater than 210 kips

The required section is W8x31 per Table 4-1 of AISC
