    This document describes the steps to select an interior column for a multistory rigid frame subjected to an axial load of 400 kips dead load and 1100 kips live load. After trying several W shapes, the analysis determines that a W12x230 steel shape meets the strength and buckling requirements, with a reduced buckling coefficient, to resist the factored axial load of 2240 kips.

    The document describes the step-by-step process for designing an interior column subjected to axial load using column load tables. Factors such as effective length, bracing configuration, and strength are considered.

    The steps involve determining the effective length, selecting an initial shape based on required strength, checking the strong axis capacity, and iterating the shape selection and strength checks as needed.

    The effective length depends on the bracing configuration and is affected by the bracing stiffness and its location along the column. Here the effective length is directly proportional to the distance between bracings.

    Instructions

    Using the column load tables, design an interior column (use lightest W shape) for a multistory
    rigid frame. No bracing is provided in the plane of the frame. In the plane perpendicular to the
    frame, bracing is provided a top, bottom, and mid-height of columns, and simple flexible beam-
    to-column connections are used. The axial compressive load is 400 kips dead load and 1100kips
    live load, and bending moments are neglected. Use A572 Grade 50 Steel.

    Step 1. Factor Load

    note: only dead load and live load are provided, therefore only dead and live load combinations
    are considered.

    Pu = 1.4  PD = (1.4)  (400 kips ) = 560 kips


    or
    Pu = 1.2  PD + 1.6  PL = (1.2)  (400 kips ) + (1.6)  (1100 kips ) = 2240 kips  controls

    Step 2. Determine Effective Length in the Direction Perpendicular to the Plane of the Frame

    Ky = 1.0 (due to simple beam-column connections)

    L = 6 ft (distance between bracing)

    Ky L = 6 ft

    Step 3. Select Shape Based on Buckling Perpendicular to the Plane of the Frame

    From Table 4-1a with ϕcPn ≥ 2240 kips, Ky L = 6 ft, and Fy = 50 ksi
