WIDE FLANGE MEMBER UNDER COMBINED COMPRESSION & BIAXIAL BENDING
EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
A check of the column adequacy is checked for combined axial compression and flexural loads.
The column is 14 ft tall and loaded with an axial load, 1400
u
P = kips and bending,
ux uy
M ,M =
200k-ft and 70k-ft, respectively. It is assumed that there is reverse-curvature bending with equal
end moments about both axes and no loads along the member. The column demand/capacity
ratio is checked against the results of Example 6.2 in the 3
rd
Edition, LRFD Manual of Steel
Construction, pages 6-6 to 6-8.
