EXAMPLE E.2
Given:
Verify that a built-up, ASTM A572 Grade 50 column with PL1 in. 8 in. flanges and a PL4 in. 15 in. web is
sufficient to carry a dead load of 70 kips and live load of 210 kips in axial compression. The column length is 15
ft and the ends are pinned in both axes.
Solution:
From AISC Manual Table 2-5, the material properties are as follows:
Built-Up Column
ASTM A572 Grade 50
Fy = 50 ksi
Fu = 65 ksi
The geometric properties are as follows:
Built-Up Column
d = 17.0 in.
bf = 8.00 in.
tf = 1.00 in.
h = 15.0 in.
tw = 4 in.
From Chapter 2 of ASCE/SEI 7, the required compressive strength is:
LRFD
Pu = 1.2(70 kips) + 1.6(210 kips)
= 420 kips
ASD
Pa = 70 kips + 210 kips
= 280 kips

From AISC Specification Commentary Table C-A-7.1, for a pinned-pinned condition, K = 1.0.
Because the unbraced length is the same for both axes, the y-y axis will govern by inspection.
