An unbraced frame is shown below. Calculate the effective length factors for columns 1 through 4 using the appropriate alignment charts. Then calculate the maximum factored load that each column can carry. Remember to include stiffness reduction factors where applicable. The factored load on all columns is 300 kips. Use A36 steel. Assume that the weak axis of columns are continually braced such that out-of-plane (weak axis) buckling is prevented. 15' 15' K W14x48 8b W14x38 #1 20' W14x38 #2 ESX TM W14x38 #3 20¹ W14x38 #4 85XTM
