CFVR8616 - AISC ASD14: Compression Flexural Torsional Buckling Checking
Compression Flexural Torsional Buckling Checking according to AISC LRFD14 for a pinned-end column.
A pinned-end steel column is subjected to an axial compression force of 20 kips.
The column has a length of 20 ft. The cross section is a WT 7x15.
The column is made of A572Gr50 steel which has a fy of 50 ksi.
The aim of the example is to obtain the compression flexural torsional buckling criterion according to AISC LRFD14
