Question 1

What is Compression Member Design Guide about?

Accepted Answer

From the given information, we can determine the effective length coefficients as follows:

Column AB: 
Far end (B) is fixed, near end (A) is hinged. 
From the table, K = 2/3

Column BC:
Both ends are hinged. Therefore, K = 1

Hence, the effective length coefficients are:

KAB = 2/3
KBC = 1

Problem 4-11-2: Determine the effective length of the columns.

Solution: 
Given: 
Column AB: Actual length = 15 ft
Column BC: Actual length = 12 ft

Effective length coefficients from previous problem:
KAB = 2/
