Question 4: Select an appropriate W310 section of ASTM A992 steel (F, = 345 MPa) as the beam-column in an unbraced frame subjected to the factored loads, including biaxial bending moments, as shown in Fig. 4. The beam-column is laterally braced at the two ends only. (Hint: I would start with W310x118 and then decide if this is an appropriate choice or a heavier/lighter section is necessary depending on the outcome of checking interaction equations.)
