Beam-column example 1 Rolled Universal Column Problem

Select a suitable UKC in S275 steel to carry safely a combination of 840kN in direct compression and a uniform bending moment about the minor axis of 12 kNm, over an unsupported height of 3.6 m.

Try 2 0 . 7 x20.3 x 60 UKC in S275 steel member capacity tables suggest a minor axis buckling resistance Nh,i,Hd of approximately 1400 kN will provide correct sort o,f margin to carry the moment.
