Example 2
Using the LRFD column tables with their
given yield strengths:
a. Select the lightest W section available for
the loads, steel, and KL of Example 1.
Use Fy = 50 ksi.
b. Select the lightest satisfactory standard
(S), extra strong (XS), and double extra
strong (XXS) pipe columns described in
part (a) of this example. Use Fy = 35 ksi.

Example 2 (contd)
c. Select the lightest satisfactory rectangular
and square HSS sections for the situation
in part (a). Use Fy = 46 ksi.
d. Select the lightest round HSS section for
part (a). Use Fy = 42 ksi.
a. Enter LRFD tables with KyLy = 10 ft., Pu =
492 k, and Fy = 50 ksi.
