A built-up section consisting of W 350 x 90 with two 12 – mm plates welded to form a box section as shown in figure. The section is used as a column 10 meters long. The column is fixed at both ends, and braced at mid height about the weak axis (Y-axis). Use Fy = 248 MPa. Properties of W350x90: bf=250mm tf=16.4mm

Question
A built-up section consisting of W 350 x 90 with two 12 – mm plates welded to form a box section as shown in figure. The section is used as a column 10 meters long. The column is fixed at both ends, and braced at mid height about the weak axis (Y-axis). Use Fy = 248 MPa.
Properties of W350x90:
bf=250mm
tf=16.4mm
d=350mm
tw=9.5mm
Ix=226x10^6 mm^4
Iy=44.54x10^6 mm^4
A=11,550 mm^2
a. Determine the effective slenderness ratio of the column with respect to lateral buckling about the x-axis.
b. Determine the effective slenderness ratio of the column with respect to lateral buckling about the y-axis.
c. Determine the axial load capacity of the column in kN.
