Problems: from Onouye, Chapter 10. Note: Problems marked with a * have been altered with respect to the problem stated in the text.
Partial answers to check with: ASD: Areq’d ≥ 10.82 in^2 with Fa = 10.72,
Partial answers to check with: (CD = 1) F’ (^) c = 1021 psi, Pa = 72.4 k
Partial answers to check with: kL/rx = 50.2, kL/ry = 45, f (^) b = 19.6 ksi, interaction value: 1.
*Use A992 steel: Fy = 50 ksi, E = 30,000 ksi, Also select the column using LRFD design method and the column chart. γ D = 1.2, γ L = 1.6 (LRFD)
*The column has been changed to a W14 x 109. Use A992 steel (Fy = 50 ksi, F (^) b = 33 ksi, E = 30x10^3 ksi). And assume that the second-floor load is applied at an eccentricity (e) of 4 inches in the direction of the framing.

(beam-column analysis)
Fy = 50 ksi
46 k dead and 70 k live and a length K = 1. (steel column analysis – allowable stress )
