Compute Pu.
From Table 4.1-20. Use (KL)y
select member and get rx/ry
Use KyLy=KxLx/((rx/ry)) to get
new KyLy.
Check with the selected member.

Compute Pu.
Assume the effective slenderness
ratio KL/r. KL/r = 50 for KL
between 10 and 15 ft.
Find Fcr from the table 4.22 and
find Ag.
Select the elements for build-up
section based on the required Ag.
Compute Ix, Iy, rx, ry, (KL/r)y for
build-up section.
Check section E6-1. AISC 16.1-37
Check ka/ri<3/4 (KL/r)max, K=1
for KA. (KL/r)max is the
maximum KL/r of the whole
section.
Find the new Fcr. Check Pn>Pu.
Check width-thickness ratio
