For Columns A and B of the braced frame shown, choose the lightest square HSS members made of steel A500 Grade C (Fy = 50 ksi) to meet AISC LRFD requirements. Use the following assumptions: WD = 5.0 klf, WL= 3.0 klf and E = 100 k All connections are pinned as shown The bracing element does not support gravity loads The loads shown acting on the frame are all service loads. In the out-of-plane direction, all members are braced at roof level. D, L ↓↓ Col A 40.0' Col B 7THTT 40.0' 20.0'
