Question

4-The A992 steel column can be considered pinned at its top and bottom and braced against its weak axis at the mid- height.

Determine the maximum allowable force P that the column can support without buckling.

Will buckling occur before the material yields?

Apply a F.S. 2 against buckling. Take A-7.4 (10 m.1 88.5 (10) m'and ly- 18.6 (10") m. 6 m 6 m

Answer 1

I was not able to find the complete version of the question asked(which included diagram) hence I will answer question similar to yours.

Q) The A992 steel column can be considered pinned at its top and bottom and braced against its weak axis at the mid-height.

Part A Determine the maximum allowable force P that the column can support without buckling. Apply a F.S. = 2 against buckling. Take A = 7.4 (10?3)m2 , Ix = 87.3 (10?6)m4 , and Iy = 18.5 (10?6)m4 .

Answer:

Allowable force P = 507.19 kN
