A steel W14 × 131 section is used as a very short, axially-loaded column. The steel used in the column has an ultimate compressive strength of 76 ksi (kip/in2), a yield stress of
36 ksi, and an allowable stress of 21.6 ksi. The cross-sectional area of the WI4X 131 section is 38.8 in2.
(a) Determine the ultimate load the column can support.
(b) Determine the maximum load the column can support with only elastic deformation.
(c) Determine the maximum allowable load the column can support based on allowable stress design.
