Question
A W21 x 57 of A992Gr50 steel column having length of 6 m and is fixed at both ends.
(Gr50 steel = 50 ksi = 345 MPa = Fy) is used to carry a load of 900 kN dead load and 400 kN live
load. Note: Use NSCP 2015
Properties of W21 x 57
A 10800 mm
d = 536 mm
bf = 167 mm
tr = 16.5 mm
tw 10.3 mm
Kdes
rx = 212 mm
Ry = 34.3 mm
= 29.2 mm
a. Calculate the critical slenderness ratio of the W section if the column is braced at midpoint of the weak
axis
b. Calculate the compressive capacity of built-up section using ASD and LRFD
c. Calculate the demand-capacity factor, Is the section adequate?
