Axially Loaded Compression Members Guide

The document provides a study guide for students to learn about axially loaded compression members over the course of a week. It includes 4 learning tasks - reading materials, attending a zoom meeting, completing a learning activity, and taking a quiz. The learning activity involves calculating the safe axial load for different column end conditions and analyzing/designing a W12 x 79 structural member under compression with given parameters. The intended learning outcomes are to apply provisions to determine column safety under axial loads and analyze/design compression members.

Learning Task 3

Go to our LMS and Answer Learning Activity No.3


Learning Activity No.3

 The W section is reinforced at top and bottom


flanges by a 250 mm wide by 16 mm thick plate is
used as a column with a length of 5.0 m. Determine
the safe axial load the column can carry using AISC
specifications with Fy = 345 MPa when:

a) Column ends are fixed


b) One end of the column is fixed; the hinged
c) Both ends are hinged

 A W12 x 79 is used as a column section with an unbraced length of 4.1m. Assume Kx = Ky


=1.0. Use Fy = 245 MPa, fc' = 28 MPa. The column is interfaced to a concrete pedestal. E =
200000 MPa.

Properties of W12 x 70
A = 14968 mm2 Sx = 1753 x 103 mm3
d = 314.45 mm Sy = 587 x 103 mm3
bf = 306.83 mm rx = 135.64 mm
tf = 18.69 mm ry = 77.47 mm
tx = 11.94 mm

a) Compute the max. Capacity of the column section.


b) Design the size of the column base plate.
c) Design the thickness of the base plate.
