Determine the design flexural strength

To determine <feMn* (me design flexural strength), refer to the Load Factor Design Selec-
tion Table for Beams in the AISC LRFD Manual. Since the W14 x 159 is not tabulated
therein, the basic equations are used instead.
M1 / M1 \2
Q = 1.75 + 1.05 —l + 0.3 —M < 2.3
M2 \M2I
Again, M1IM2 = -1.0.

Cb = 1.75 + 1.05(-1.0) + 0.3(-1.0)2 = 1.0

If C6 = 1.0, Mn = Mp ZxFy for bending about the jc axis if Lb < L77; Z^ = &QQry/Fy) for W
shapes bent about the x axis [Eq. (F 1-4)}. For a W14 x 159, ry = 4.0 in (10.2 cm) and
(300 x 4.0 in)/(12 in/ft)
£,= ^ 16.7ft(5.1 m)

Because (Lb = 15.0 ft) < (Lp = 16.7 ft),

and <M4r = 0.90 x 861 kip-ft = 775 kip-ft (1050 kNm)

Substituting the interaction formula, we obtain
8 210 kip-ft
0.65 + — x £—
9 775 kip-ft
= 0.63 + 0.24 = 0.87 < 1.0 o.k.

By a similar solution of interaction formula (Hl-Id)9 it can be shown that a W14 x 145 is
also adequate.

SELECTION OF CONCRETE-FILLED
STEEL COLUMN

Select a 6-in (15.2-cm) concrete-filled steel-pipe column for a required axial compressive
strength of 200 kips (889.6 kN), where KL = 10.0 ft (3.05 m), Fy = 36 ksi (248 MPa),
fcf = 3.5 ksi (24.1 MPa), using normal-weight concrete = 145 Ib/cu ft (2320 kg/cu m)

Calculation Procedure:

1. Try a standard-weight concrete-filled pipe

2. Analyze the selected column
Check minimum wall thickness of pipe, Fig. 45:
