COMPOSITE COLUMN DESIGN
EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
Determine if the 14-ft.-long encased composite member illustrated below is
adequate for the indicated axial forces, shears, and moments. The composite
member consists of an ASTM A992 W-shaped section with normal weight (145
lb/ft3) concrete having a specified compressive strength, f c′ = 5 ksi.
