Enter your answers into the high 1.) Select the lightest W12 shape for a column subjected to an axial compressive load of P kips. The unbraced length is L ft and the ends are pinned/pinned. Use the AISC allowable stress design method. Yield stress is 50 ksi. Refer to Blackboard for values of P and L. Enter the random variables generated by Blackboard here: Load (P) Length (L) kips ft Enter reference values here: Effective length factor (K) in Enter calculated values here: Effective length (KL) in inches Slenderness ratio (KL/1) Critical (Euler) Stress (fe) Allowable load Paal) ksi kips Enter the properties of your chosen W-section here: Designation of chosen W-section Weight/ft of chosen W-section Area (A) of chosen W-section Least radius of gyration (ry) of chosen W-section Ibs/ft in? in
