Steel Columns - Allowable Load

Parker & Ambrose P. 319 
Problem 10.3.B
Determine the allowable axial compression load 
for a W 12 x 106 column, 
with a height of 22 ft (6.71 m),
if both ends are fixed against rotation and horizontal movement.

Parker & Ambrose P. 319 
Problem 10.3.C
Determine the allowable load for the colun in  problem 10.3.A
Determine the allowable axial compression load 
for a W 10 x 60 column 
with an unbraced height of 15 ft (4.57 m).
Assume K = 1.
If the conditions are as shown in Fig. 10.4. P&A 318
with L1 = 15 ft and L2 = 8 ft,
with biaxial bracing of column.
