The design of a pinned-end A36 structural steel column required that the length be 2.2 m and the allowable load be 65 kN, with a factor of safety of 2.0 against buckling.

a. Determine an appropriate equal-leg angle section of rolled steel that will satisfy the design requirements (see Appendix. C, Table C.3).


b. Determine whether or not the yield stress of the steel is exceeded. That is, will the column fail by yielding before it can fail by buckling?
