This document contains calculations for the strength of a beam and column using the Direct Strength Method (DSM) approach. For the beam, the nominal flexural strength is calculated to be 59.71 kip-in, controlled by distortional buckling. For the column, the nominal axial strength is calculated to be 54.4 kip, controlled by local-global buckling. A beam-column interaction check is then performed and satisfies the requirement of being less than 1.
