Slender column ABC is supported at A and C and is subjected to axial load P. Lateral support is provided at mid-height if but only in the plane of the figure; lateral support perpendicular to the plane of the figure is provided only at ends A and C. The column is a steel W shape with modulus of elasticity E = 200 GPa and proportional limit pl= 400 MPa. The total length of the column L = 9 m. If the al low-able load is 150 kN and the factor of safety is 2.5, determine the lightest W 200 section that can be used for the column. (See Table F-l(b), Appendix F).
A steel column ( E = 30 X 103 ksi) that is fixed at the base and free at the top is constructed of a W8 x 35 wide-flange member (sec figure). The column is 9.0 ft long. The force P acting at the top of the column has an eccentricity e = 1.25 in. If P = 40 kips, what is the maximum compressive stress in the column?

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?

A steel bar has a square cross section of width b = 2.0 in. (sec figure). The bar has pinned supports at the ends and is 3.0 ft long. The axial forces acting at the end of the bar have a resultant P = 20 kips located at distance e = 0,75 in, from the center of the cross section. Also, the modulus of elasticity of the steel is 29,000 ksi. Determine the maximum compressive stress max, in the bar.
