The A992 steel column can be considered pinned at its top and bottom and braced against its weak axis at the mid-height. Determine the maximum allowable force P that the column can support without buckling. Apply a F.S. = 2 against buckling. Take A = 7.4(10−3) m2, Ix = 87.3C 10−6) m4, and Iy = 18.8(10−6) m4.
