WIDE FLANGE MEMBER UNDER COMBINED COMPRESSION & BIAXIAL BENDING EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION A check of the column adequacy is checked for combined axial compression and flexural loads. The column is 14 feet tall and loaded with an axial load, Pu = 1400 kips and bending, M ux , M uy = 200k-ft and 70k-ft, respectively. It is assumed that there is reverse-curvature bending with equal end moments about both axes and no loads along the member. The column demand/capacity ratio is checked against the results of Example 6.2 in the 3rd Edition, LRFD Manual of Steel Construction, pages 6-6 to 6-8. GEOMETRY, PROPERTIES AND LOADING
