Prob 1  A  laced column as shown below consisting of four angles to carry 
(60pts) 80+X kips dead load and 355+X kips live load axial compression, 
with an effective length KL of 20 ft. Assume all connections will be
with an effective length KL of 20 ft. Assume all connections will be 
welded and use grade 50 steel.
