1.

Determine the buckling strength of column C1 shown below and check the inelastic column
buckling for a 250 MPa yield stress material. Use the sections and details shown in the table
below for the frame components. The frame is un braced in both directions (i.e., side sway is not
prevented).
2. Select the lightest W310 section using A36M Steel for a column to support axial compression
dead and live loads of 1200kN and 2000 kN respectively. The member, which is to be 6.0 m long
and to be pinned top and bottom, has lateral support (pinned) supplied in the weak direction at
mid depth as shown.
Solution:
3. Design a column of W460 wide flange section for the member (DE) of the frame
shown below. The frame is fully braced in the perpendicular plane (Ky = 1.00) while
the other plane is free to sway... Assume the axial load on the column is 1500 kN. Use
A572M gr. 345 steel materials.

Solution:

ASCM P (6-184)

G=
OK

4. Design Column AB of the frame shown below for a design load of 2000 kN. Assume that
the column is unbraced in major axis direction and braced in the minor axis direction.
Assume that the same column section is used for the stories above and below. Use
A572M gr. 345 Steel Materials.
