The rectangular steel frame shown is to support a footbridge in a chemical plant. The ends of the bridge are supported on rollers, so the bridge is permitted to sway (unbraced frame). All members are oriented with their webs in the plane of the frame (or such that bending will occur about the strong axis). All columns are assumed to be adequately braced in the weak direction. All beams are W16x50. Assume t = 1.0 (elastic behavior). Determine the design compressive strength of column FB (W8x48). Use the LRFD Method. 15 ft + 10' *fe W8x48 W16x50 25' © W12x58 30' W8x48 10'
