Apply AISC LRFD procedure to design a welded compression member composed of double standard channels, placed back-to-back, using A36 steel. Length of the member is 8m and the maximum compressive factored force is 2.5R kN. The column is fixed at the bottom and pinned at the top with no sidesway. Distance between centroids of the channels is to be 200 mm. Also design flat lacing elements to connect the two channels, considering 15mm diameter rivets.

Apply AISC LRFD procedure to design a welded compression member composed of
double standard channels, placed back-to-back, using A36 steel. Length of the member
is 8m and the maximum compressive factored force is 2.5R kN. The column is fixed at
the bottom and pinned at the top with no sidesway. Distance between centroids of the
channels is to be 200 mm. Also design flat lacing elements to connect the two channels,
considering 15mm diameter rivets.
The beam shown in Figure must support two concentrated service live loads of 0.3R KN
each at the quarter point. The maximum live load deflection must not exceed 1/360
