AW310 × 74 wide-flange steel column with length L = 3.8 m is fixed at the base and free at the top (see figure). The load P acting on the column is intended to be centrally applied, but because of unavoidable discrepancies in construction, an eccentricity ratio of 0.25 is specified. Also, the following data are supplied: E = 200 GPa, y = 290 MPa, and P = 310 kN. What is the maximum compressive stress max in the column? What is the factor of safety n with respect to yielding of the steel?
