STRUCTURAL STEEL DESIGN ASSIGNMENT QUESTION -
Determine the factored axial load or the required axial strength PU of a column in an office building with a regular roof configuration. The service axial loads on the column are as follows:
PD = 200 Kips (dead load)
Pl = 300 kips (floor live load)
PS = 150 Kips (snow load)
PW = +/- 60 kips (wind load)
PE = +/- 40 kips (seismic load)
