W-Shape Subject to Combined Axial Compression and Flexure

Given: Select an ASTM A992 W-shape with a 10 in. nominal depth to carry nominal axial compression forces of 5 kips from dead load and 15 kips from live load. The unbraced length is 14 ft and the ends are pinned. The member also has the following nominal required moment strengths, not including second-order effects:

MxD = 15 kip-ft MyD = 2 kip-ft

MxL = 45 kip-ft MyL = 6 kip-ft

The member is not subject to sidesway.

Solution: Material Properties: ASTM A992 Fy = 50 ksi

Fu = 65 ksi

Calculate the required strength, not considering second-order effects
